Choose the model from the job you need to complete, then confirm its current inputs in Video Gen → Video settings before uploading references.
| Use case | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Broad reference support, video editing, or extending a clip | Seedance 2.5 | Accepts the widest mix of image, video, and audio references and exposes Edit and Extend modes. |
| General text, frame, or mixed-reference generation | Seedance 2.0 | Full Seedance 2.0 generation path with up to 1080p output. |
| Faster or lower-cost iteration | Seedance 2.0 Fast or mini | Similar input structure with lower-latency or lower-resolution tiers. |
| Image-led generation with several character or object references | Kling 3.0 | Combines frame slots and image references. |
| Generate from a few images or edit a short project video | Gemini Omni | Supports image-led generation and a separate short-video edit flow. |
Model names alone do not guarantee the same duration, resolution, reference count, editing, or extension support. Changing models can remove incompatible fields and attachments; review the composer after every switch.
For the complete changing limits, use Model Capability Matrix. For the actual controls, use Video Model Selector.
