Which model should you pick?
Every model here runs on the same pay-per-credit balance, so you can switch freely. If you just want a starting point:
Prompt: Rain streaking across a train window as green countryside slides past, focus racks slowly from the droplets on the glass to a distant farmhouse, melancholic golden-hour light, cinematic and quiet
Runway Gen-4.5 is premium text-to-video and image-to-video with cinematic quality, rich detail, and fluid motion. Mature creator-focused tooling with strong cinematic handling. The natural choice for teams already on Runway's broader video stack.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Example from Veo 3.1
Google DeepMind's Veo 3.1 Fast with synchronized audio. Industry-leading dialogue lip-sync and audio realism — context-aware audio generation, smooth motion, and native video and audio extension. Reach for it on dialogue-heavy short-form content where Veo's lip-sync advantage justifies the cost.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
ByteDance's Seedance 1.0 — fast, cost-efficient video generation with strong motion physics and detail. The original Seedance flagship, now succeeded by Seedance 1.5 Pro and 2 Fast for top-tier work. Still a practical pick when 1.5 Pro and 2 are overkill for the brief.
Prompt: The camera follows the man in black as he flees quickly, followed by a group of people chasing him. The camera switches to side tracking. The character panics and knocks down a fruit stand on the roadside, gets up and continues to run away. The crowd makes panicked sounds.
Lightricks' flagship LTX 2.3 with synchronized audio. Higher-fidelity video generation in the open-weight LTX line, with cinematic camera handling and audio sync. Strong choice for teams that want premium video quality on infrastructure they control.
Prompt: A 2D anime girl in a school uniform runs along a rain-slicked platform chasing a departing train, hand-drawn cel-shaded style. Lateral tracking shot keeping pace beside her, her bag and hair trailing with realistic secondary motion, puddle splashes stylized as white cel shapes. Soft blue-grey rain palette, 90s anime film aesthetic. Negative: 3D render, photorealistic, morphing.
Example from Wan 2.2 14B
Alibaba's flagship Wan 2.2 video model with crisp 480p output and strong stylization. Open-weight availability makes it useful for self-hosted pipelines and teams that want production-quality video generation without closed-API costs. Edged out by Veo, Sora, and Kling at the top tier but cost-competitive.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Lightricks' distilled LTX 2 — open-source audio-video model for expressive clips with sound. Lower fidelity than the full LTX 2 / 2.3 line but practical for open-weight workflows and teams that want LTX-style video without closed-API costs.
Prompt: The camera follows the man in black as he flees quickly, followed by a group of people chasing him. The camera switches to side tracking. The character panics and knocks down a fruit stand on the roadside, gets up and continues to run away. The crowd makes panicked sounds.
ByteDance Seedance 2.0 is the next-generation Seedance flagship with native audio, multimodal inputs, and 720p output. Among the leaders on the Artificial Analysis text-to-video arena. Reach for it on hero clips, premium ad creative, and narrative content where the cost per second is justified.
xAI's stylized video generator with synchronized audio. High-quality text-to-video and image-to-video with the distinctive xAI personality. Strong for X-platform-aligned content and stylized social video where polish matters less than tone.

Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro — the flagship Kling tier with pro-grade text-to-video and image-to-video. Smooth motion, strong prompt fidelity, and exceptional motion physics for complex camera work — tracking shots, dolly moves, and crane sweeps all hold up. Strong choice for cinematic narrative work.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Example from Seedance 1.5 Pro
ByteDance Seedance 1.5 Pro with synchronized audio. Cinema-quality video with precise lip-syncing and cinematic camera control — strong for narrative short-form content, music video aesthetics, and anywhere dialogue matters as much as visuals.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Lightricks' fastest LTX 2.3 tier with synchronized audio. Open-weight cinematic concept iteration — describe a clip with audio cues, get a quick render with sound. Use for iteration before stepping up to LTX 2.3 Pro for final renders.
Prompt: A corgi in sunglasses cruising on a skateboard past a taco stand in slow motion, supremely confident, hip-hop beat with a record scratch as it nods at the camera
Pruna AI's production-tier video model with fast generation, built-in audio, and multi-aspect-ratio support. Optimized for cost-quality balance — solid for production workflows where the top-tier closed models (Veo, Sora) feel too expensive for the use case.
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Pruna AI's draft-tier video generation — roughly 4x faster than the full P-Video model for rapid previews. Built for the iteration phase: nail down the motion and composition cheaply, then commit to a full render only when you're sure. Cuts cost meaningfully on exploratory work.
