The best AI video generator for each kind of shot

A film camera on a dolly in an empty studio, a single spotlight on it, cables on the floor.

Kling, Seedance, MiniMax H3, Gemini Omni Flash, Wan and LTX: which AI video model wins which shot, and why.

One long cinematic shot with sound: Kling 3.0

Kling 3.0 runs to fifteen seconds, where most video models stop at five or eight, and generates audio in the same pass with more than one speaker. Name a character with an element tag and it keeps that character through the clip.

Of everything in this studio it is the one that most reliably looks shot rather than generated. Pick the Pro tiers when it matters: they are visibly better, not only slower.

Several shots in one clip: Seedance

Seedance generates multi-shot video natively: several cohesive shots in one clip, with the subject, the style and the atmosphere held steady between them. It handles big movement and more than one thing moving at once, and it does stylised looks as well as photoreal.

Seedance is priced on height, width and duration, so resolution drives the bill harder than length does.

Cheap drafts first, a sharp final after: MiniMax H3

MiniMax H3, the model behind Hailuo, runs at four price points on one model: draft at 480p until the shot is right, then render the same shot at up to 4K. It takes a first and a last frame, so you decide where the shot ends.

A character that keeps its voice: Gemini Omni Flash

Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 makes sound in the same pass and keeps a character's look and voice across clips. It is also cheap at the bottom end, which makes it a good model to explore with.

For a prompt with no start image, Wan 2.7 keeps scenes coherent on its own. For the final pass of a shot written as a brief, LTX 2.5 makes picture and sound together and is built for quality.
