Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI video model is the best?

It depends on your needs. VEO 3.1 Fast is the most versatile (text & image-to-video, 720p/1080p, 8s). SORA 2 Pro offers the best cinematic quality (1080p, up to 12s). Seedance Lite is the most budget-friendly (2-5 credits, 5s). WAN 2.5 excels at natural image-to-video motion. Choose based on your priorities: quality, speed, cost, or duration.

What's the difference between VEO 3.1 Fast and VEO 3 Fast?

VEO 3.1 Fast is the latest model with 1080p support (VEO 3 only has 720p). Both support text-to-video and image-to-video, both generate 8-second videos in 60-90 seconds. VEO 3.1 offers better quality and more resolution options. VEO 3 costs 5-10 credits while VEO 3.1 costs 8-15 credits depending on resolution.

When should I use SORA 2 vs SORA 2 Pro?

Use SORA 2 Pro when you need the absolute best cinematic quality in 1080p for professional content, ads, or presentations (10-15 credits). Use SORA 2 for good cinematic quality in 720p when you want to save credits (7-10 credits). Both support up to 12 seconds and take 120-180s to generate. SORA 2 Pro is worth the extra credits for final client deliverables.

Which models support image-to-video?

Six models support image-to-video: VEO 3.1 Fast, VEO 3 Fast, SORA 2, SORA 2 Pro (also support text-to-video), WAN 2.5, Seedance Pro, and Seedance Lite (image-to-video only). Each has different strengths: VEO 3.1 for best quality, SORA 2 Pro for cinematic, WAN 2.5 for natural motion, Seedance for speed and budget.

Why is Seedance Lite so cheap (2-5 credits)?

Seedance Lite is optimized for speed and efficiency, making it the most budget-friendly option. It's perfect for quick tests, high-volume content creation, or when you need many variations. Despite the lower cost, it still produces quality 720p videos. The trade-offs: limited to 5 seconds, image-to-video only, and less fine control compared to premium models.

How do I create videos longer than 12 seconds?

First, generate a 10-second video with VEO 3.1, VEO 3, SORA 2, or SORA 2 Pro. Then use MAGI-1 Video Extension to extend it to 20 seconds (costs 8 credits). This is currently the only way to create videos longer than 12 seconds. MAGI-1 seamlessly continues your video with natural motion and consistent visual style.

Which model is fastest?

Seedance Lite and Seedance Pro are the fastest, generating videos in 45-60 seconds. VEO models (3.1 and 3) and WAN 2.5 take 60-90 seconds. SORA models take longer (120-180s for SORA 2 Pro, 120-150s for SORA 2) but offer superior cinematic quality. MAGI-1 extension takes 90-120s. Choose based on your speed vs quality priorities.

Can I mix different models in one video?

No, each video is generated by a single model. However, you can generate multiple videos with different models and edit them together externally. You can also extend a VEO or SORA video with MAGI-1 (technically using two models sequentially). For varied content, create separate videos with different models and combine them in your video editor.

Do all models support all aspect ratios?

Yes! All models support 9:16 (vertical for TikTok/Reels), 1:1 (square for Instagram), and 16:9 (horizontal for YouTube). You choose the aspect ratio before generation, and the AI optimizes the video for that format. This includes MAGI-1 extensions, which maintain the original video's aspect ratio.

Which model should I use for my first video?

Start with VEO 3.1 Fast (8-15 credits). It's the latest model, supports both text and image-to-video, offers 720p/1080p options, and generates in just 60-90 seconds. It's versatile enough for most use cases and provides excellent quality. Once you understand your specific needs (budget, quality, speed), you can explore other models like SORA 2 Pro for premium quality or Seedance Lite for budget content.
