FAQ

AI Video Models questions

What are AI video generation models?

They are AI models that generate video from a text prompt, a start image or reference media. Each comes from a maker, such as Kuaishou's Kling, ByteDance's Seedance, Google's Veo or Alibaba's Wan, and they differ in clip length, resolution, sound and what they handle best.

Link to this answer

Which AI video model is the best?

It depends on the shot. Veo 3.1 is strongest for dialogue and sound, Kling 3.0 for expressive motion, Seedance 2.5 for long multi-shot clips with many references, Wan 3 for long clips you can edit and extend, and Grok Imagine 1.5 or PixVerse v6 for quick social clips. Run one prompt on two and compare.

Link to this answer

Which AI video models generate sound?

Many now do. On Kenerate, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3, MiniMax H3, PixVerse v6, Vidu Q3, Grok Imagine 1.5, LTX 2.3, Happy Horse 1.1 and FLUX 3 Video make audio with the video, depending on the setting.

Link to this answer

Which model makes the longest clips?

Wan 3 and Seedance 2.5 make up to 30 seconds in one generation. LTX and FLUX 3 Video go up to 20 seconds, Vidu Q3 up to 16, and Kling 3.0, MiniMax H3, PixVerse v6 and Grok Imagine 1.5 up to 15. You can extend clips on several models.

Link to this answer

Is Kling 3.0 available on Kenerate?

Yes. Kling 3.0 comes in three versions in Kenerate's studio, Pro, Standard and 4K, for text or image to video, with 3–15 second clips and native audio. Older Kling 2.6, 2.1 and 2.0 versions are there too.

Link to this answer

Is Sora 2 still available?

No. OpenAI shut down the Sora apps on 26 April 2026 and removed the API on 24 September 2026, so Sora 2 Pro is no longer offered in Kenerate's studio. Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3 are the closest alternatives with sound.

Link to this answer

Can I use these models without separate subscriptions?

Yes. All 57 run in one studio on Kenerate's one-time credit packs, which never expire, so you don't need a Kling, Google or ByteDance account. Free sign-up credits cover images and tools; video models need a credit pack.
