Choosing the right video model
Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance 2.5, Wan 2.7, Hailuo, Ray and FLUX 3 compared by what they are good at: length, resolution, sound, start and end frames and more.
The Video studio has hundreds of video models. You don't need to know them all. Start from what your clip needs: length, sound, format and how much control you want over the first and last frame. The overview below lists the options each model offers in the studio at the time of writing. Each model page shows its current options.
Overview
| Model | Length | Resolution | Sound | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 (Google) | 4, 6 or 8 s | 720p, 1080p, 4K | Yes, on by default | 16:9 or 9:16; last frame; reference and extend versions |
| Kling v3.0 Pro (Kling) | 3 to 15 s | Set by the model | Optional | End image; multi-shot prompts; motion control version |
| Kling v3 Turbo (Kling) | 3 to 15 s | Set by the model | No | Standard and Pro tiers; used by our video effects |
| Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance) | 4 to 30 s | 480p to 4K | Yes, native | Six aspect ratios; reference images, videos and audio; last frame |
| Wan 2.7 (Alibaba) | 2 to 15 s | 720p, 1080p | Can follow an audio input | Last frame; prompt expansion; extend and reference versions |
| Hailuo 2.3 (MiniMax) | 6 or 10 s on Standard | Standard and Pro tiers | No | Prompt optimiser you can switch on or off; fast versions |
| Ray 3.2 (Luma) | 5 or 10 s (5 s from a photo) | 540p to 1080p | No | Five aspect ratios; last frame; separate video edit and reframing |
| FLUX 3 (FLUX) | 5 to 20 s | 720p, 1080p | Yes | Start and end frames; draft versions for quick tests |
Pick by what you need
Sound in the same take
Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5 generate audio with the picture, and FLUX 3 has an audio option too. Describe sounds and short spoken lines in the prompt. Kling v3.0 Pro has a sound switch as well.
Longer single shots
Seedance 2.5 goes up to 30 seconds and FLUX 3 up to 20. Kling v3.0 Pro and Wan 2.7 reach 15. For anything longer, cut several clips together or use an extend model.
Control over the start and end
Give a first and a last picture, and the model fills in the motion. FLUX 3 Start End to Video is built for exactly this; the image-to-video versions of Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5, Wan 2.7, Kling v3.0 Pro and Ray 3.2 accept a last frame too.
Several shots in one clip
Kling v3.0 Pro and the Kling v3 Turbo models accept a multi-shot storyboard: a list of prompts with durations that add up to the clip length.
Vertical video for social
Check the aspect ratio options: Veo 3.1 offers 16:9 and 9:16, Seedance 2.5 and FLUX 3 offer several more, and image-to-video models usually follow the shape of your picture. Start from a vertical image for a vertical clip.
Testing ideas cheaply
Draft, turbo and fast versions render quicker and usually cost fewer credits. Use them to find the right prompt, then make the final take on the full model. The studio shows the price before you start, and it changes with length and resolution.
Copying moves and editing existing video
Different jobs have their own sections. Motion control copies the movement from a reference video onto a character, for example with Kling v3.0 Pro Motion Control. Video edit restyles footage you already have, with models such as Aleph 2 and Ray 3.2 Video Edit.
