Read articleModels questions
Which AI models does v4v.ai support?
The Lab catalog includes Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, and MiniMax video tools, along with image generation and editing, music, voice, avatar, and translation tools. Availability and settings vary by tool; the live Lab catalog is the place to check before a generation.
Sources: Current Lab catalog
What is the difference between text-to-video and image-to-video?
Text-to-video starts from a written prompt. Image-to-video starts from a reference image plus instructions for motion. Use image references when product appearance matters, and review the output for changes to logos, shapes, and materials.
Which model can generate video with audio?
Google DeepMind describes Veo 3.1 as supporting native audio, including sound effects, ambience, and dialogue. In v4v.ai, inspect the selected tool's audio options and credit estimate; provider capabilities do not mean every mode exposes the same settings.

How can I compare AI video model quality?
Test the same brief and references across candidate models. Evaluate product fidelity, prompt adherence, motion, audio, resolution, and the credit cost of usable outputs. Published benchmarks describe their own test conditions and do not establish a universal winner for every product video.
Can I switch models without changing platforms?
Yes. Select another compatible tool in AI Lab or configure another generation node in Workflows. Model-specific inputs, durations, aspect ratios, and pricing still apply.
