Video generation
Text-to-video and image-to-video models.
What it is
Video models generate short clips from a text prompt or animate a still image. Leading models produce several seconds of HD footage with camera control and, increasingly, synchronised audio.
How pricing works
Billed per second of output (sometimes per clip of fixed length). Price usually scales with resolution, and with audio enabled.
We compare everything in one unit: USD per second of video.
Typical uses
- Ads and social clips
- Storyboards and pre-visualisation
- Product animations
- B-roll
What to compare
- Max clip length
- Resolution and frame rate
- Motion realism and prompt adherence
- Native audio
Watch out for
- You often need several generations to get a usable clip; budget for 3–5× attempts.
- Generation can take minutes; plan async workflows.
