ImagineArt gives you access to 37 AI video generation models in Video Studio across every major provider, plus dedicated talking-avatar models in Lipsync Studio. Use this guide to find the right one for your project — by use case, capability, or output format.

​
Quick picks by use case

Best overall

Seedance 2 — ByteDance’s flagship. Native audio, 4 generation modes, and the most comprehensive reference system available (9 img + 3 vid + 3 audio).

Best for 4K

Kling 3.0 4K — Kling AI’s 4K tier of the 3.0 family, with native audio, start and end frames, and clips of 3–15 seconds.

Longest clips

Seedance 2.5 — Up to 30 seconds with native audio, start and end frames, and 480p–1080p output. Wan 3 also reaches 30 seconds.

Fastest generation

xAI Grok Video — ~17-second generation with native audio and up to 7 reference images. The fastest AI video model available.

By what you’re building

Priority: audio quality + lip-sync precision + language supportFor multilingual dialogue with millisecond-precision lip-sync across 8+ languages, Seedance 1.5 Pro is the specialist. Kling 3.0 Pro delivers Omni Native Audio with EN, JP, KO, and ES lip-sync at 1080p. For English and Chinese including singing, Kling 2.6 Pro generates at 48 FPS with simultaneous A/V in a single pass.For broadcast-quality audio at the highest visual fidelity, Google Veo 3.1 generates 48kHz stereo audio alongside 4–8 second clips at up to 4K. For longer clips with audio, Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3 generate up to 30 seconds. For the fastest audio-enabled generation, xAI Grok Video delivers in ~17 seconds.
Priority: resolution + frame rate + visual fidelityFive models offer 4K output. Kling 3.0 4K is Kling AI’s 4K tier of the 3.0 family — native audio, first-and-last-frame control, and clips up to 15 seconds. Google Veo 3.1 reaches 4K with 4, 6 or 8-second clips and 48kHz stereo audio. Google Veo 3.1 Fast offers the same resolutions and durations at lower cost. Seedance 2 adds a 4K option alongside 720p and 1080p, and LTX 2.3 generates at 1080p, 1440p or 2160p.
Priority: duration + narrative continuity + rendering stabilitySeedance 2.5 and Wan 3 support up to 30 seconds — the longest single generations available, both with native audio. Flux 3 reaches 20 seconds.At 15 seconds: Kling 3.0 Pro, Kling 3.0 4K, Seedance 2, Seedance 2 Fast, Happy Horse, MiniMax Hailuo H3, xAI Grok Video, Wan 2.6, and PixVerse v6.
Priority: turnaround time + iteration speedxAI Grok Video generates a 6-second video in approximately 17 seconds — the fastest in the lineup by a significant margin, powered by Aurora’s autoregressive sequential frame prediction. PixVerse v5.5 also generates in approximately 30 seconds at 1080p.
Priority: object interaction + material behavior + environmental dynamicsHailuo 02 Pro delivers industry-leading physics simulation — the strongest model for realistic fluid dynamics, collision physics, and material deformation. Kling O3 includes a purpose-built physics engine covering gravity, collision, inertia, deformation, and fluid dynamics alongside 1080p output and native audio.
Priority: art style fidelity + stylization coherence + micro-expression qualityHailuo 2.3 Pro delivers the highest quality for anime, illustration, ink-wash, and game-CG styles — with enhanced micro-expression rendering and physics-aware stylized scenes. Hailuo 2.3 SD offers the same style range at lower cost.
Priority: identity preservation + cross-scene consistency + reference fidelityWan 2.6 is built specifically for this — its R2V (Reference-to-Video) mode inserts a character’s appearance and voice from a reference image across any generated scene with consistent identity preservation. Kling O3 lets you add reusable characters and objects through its Elements tab. Seedance 2 accepts 9 images + 3 video + 3 audio clips simultaneously. xAI Grok Video accepts up to 7 reference images for identity preservation at speed.
Priority: explicit trajectory control + camera movement accuracyWan 2.2 offers the most explicit camera control in the lineup — the VACE (Video Animation Control Engine) provides programmatic camera trajectory input with subject locking, background stabilization, and precise pans, zooms, and focus pulls. LoRA-based style adaptation (10–20 images) also sets it apart. Runway 4.5 is strong for cinematic camera-precise output from natural language prompts.
Priority: transition precision + motion interpolation between defined statesModels marked Start/End in the model picker accept both a Start Frame and a Last Frame, and generate the motion between them. Kling 2.5 Pro and Kling O1 support first-and-last-frame conditioning at 1080p. Kling 3.0 Pro adds native audio and up to 15 seconds. Seedance 2 and Seedance 2.5 combine start and end frames with native audio. Models marked Start only, such as Pika 2.2, accept a start frame but no last frame.
Priority: low cost per generation + speed + acceptable quality floorWan 2.2 is the lowest-cost model in the picker at 30 credits for a 5-second 720p clip. Seedance 1.5 Pro adds native audio at 72 credits. Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance’s lightweight model built for multi-shot video at 480p–720p. Google Veo 3.1 Lite delivers Veo 3.1 architecture at a fraction of the Fast tier cost. Seedance Pro Fast is the speed-optimized tier of Seedance Pro.
