Video generation models

TL;DR

Compare AI video models by input type, duration, output controls, and workflow features.

Text-to-video vs. image-to-video

Text-to-video models generate motion from a prompt alone. Image-to-video models animate from a starting frame, giving you direct control over the first shot.

Use the table to compare duration range, supported inputs, and available controls.

How to read the table

  • Input tells you whether the model starts from prompt only or from prompt plus a start frame.
  • Output summarizes duration, resolution, and framing controls.
  • Features call out start-frame input, end-frame guidance, audio, and other workflow-changing options.
  • Use Costs by model and task when you need the current credit cost per generated second.
