[Strengths] Transfers human/animal motion from a driving video onto a still subject. [Best For] Making a character mimic a dance or action, motion retargeting onto a photo. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if you only have a video and no subject image (use Restyle or Extend instead), or if you need 1080p output (only 360p/540p/720p are supported). It requires BOTH a subject image (with a clear person or animal) AND a reference video (with a person as the primary focus). [Routing] Use when the user has one subject image and one motion reference video and wants the subject to mimic that motion.
• vidu/motion-sync: [Core Function] Vidu Motion Sync is a video-to-video motion transfer model. [Strengths] It excels at accurately extracting physical motion from a source video (e.g., a dancing person) and applying it to a target character image, preserving the target’s identity. [Best For] Highly recommended for: creating dance videos with custom characters, transferring complex choreography, and replicating specific physical actions onto avatars. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you want to change what a character is saying (use Lip Sync). It requires both a reference video for motion and a target image for appearance. [Routing] Use this model specifically when the user wants to copy the body movements or actions from one video onto a different character.
• google/gemini-omni-flash-t2v: [Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash T2V is Google’s fast multimodal Text-to-Video generation model built on the Interactions API. [Strengths] It quickly turns a text prompt into a short 720p video with natively synchronized audio, offering low latency and solid prompt adherence. [Best For] Highly recommended for: rapid text-to-video prototyping, short social and marketing clips, quick concept visualization, and cases where speed and built-in audio matter more than 4K cinematic detail. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need 1080p or 4K resolution or clips longer than 10 seconds; output is fixed at 720p, capped at 10 seconds, with aspect ratio limited to 16:9 or 9:16. [Routing] Choose this model when the user emphasizes ‘fast’, ‘quick’, or short multimodal clips with sound. If the user demands maximum cinematic quality, 4K, or longer videos, choose Veo 3.1 T2V instead.
• google/gemini-omni-flash-i2v: [Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash I2V is a fast Image-to-Video model that animates a single input image into a short 720p video via the Interactions API. [Strengths] It uses the provided image as the opening frame and generates smooth motion with natively synchronized audio at low latency. [Best For] Highly recommended for: bringing a still photo to life, quick product or portrait animation, and short social clips derived from a single image. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need 1080p or 4K output, clips longer than 10 seconds, or the fusion of multiple reference images; it takes exactly one image and outputs 720p up to 10 seconds (16:9 or 9:16). Do NOT use it to edit an existing video. [Routing] Choose this when the user provides one image to animate. To fuse multiple reference images use Gemini Omni Flash R2V; to edit an existing video use Gemini Omni Flash Video Edit; for 4K cinematic results use Veo 3.1 I2V.
• google/gemini-omni-flash-r2v: [Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash R2V (Reference-to-Video) generates a short 720p video guided by up to three reference images via the Interactions API. [Strengths] It fuses the styles, subjects, or elements from multiple reference images (referred to in the text prompt) into a single coherent animated clip with synchronized audio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: blending characters or visual styles from several images, reference-guided creative shots, and multi-subject compositions where the prompt directs how the references combine. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you only have a single starting frame (use I2V instead), or if you need 1080p or 4K or clips longer than 10 seconds; it accepts 1 to 3 reference images and outputs 720p up to 10 seconds (16:9 or 9:16). [Routing] Choose this when the user supplies multiple reference images to combine into one video. For single first-frame animation use Gemini Omni Flash I2V; to modify an existing video use Gemini Omni Flash Video Edit.
• kling/kling-v3-omni-i2v: [Core Function] Kling V3 Omni I2V is a multimodal image-to-video model that animates from one or more reference images with stronger subject and style consistency. [Strengths] It accepts an images array for reference-led motion, aiming to preserve identity, wardrobe, and product look across the clip while supporting flexible duration and optional native audio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: character-consistent animation from design sheets, multi-reference product shots, comic or IP look locking, and I2V tasks where a single first frame is not enough. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for simple one-image animation when cost or speed is the priority; use Kling V3 I2V or Kling V3 Turbo I2V. Do NOT use it when the primary input is text only; use Kling V3 Omni T2V or Kling V3 T2V. Do NOT use it for lip-sync avatar from audio alone; use Kling Avatar. [Routing] Choose Kling V3 Omni I2V when the user asks for Omni, multiple references, or strict visual consistency from images. Prefer Kling V3 I2V for standard single-image high quality; prefer Kling V3 Turbo I2V for fast or cheap single-image jobs.
• kling/kling-v3-turbo-i2v: [Core Function] Kling V3 Turbo I2V is a speed- and cost-optimized image-to-video model that animates a single keyframe into short motion clips. [Strengths] It prioritizes fast turnaround and efficient generation with optional native audio and strong lip-sync for portrait or product first-frame animation at practical resolutions. [Best For] Highly recommended for: animating stills for social ads, rapid keyframe iteration, talking-head starters from one photo, and bulk I2V jobs where latency and cost dominate. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if the user needs multi-image references, element fusion, or Omni-class subject locking; use Kling V3 Omni I2V. Do NOT use it when maximum 4K cinematic quality is required; use Kling V3 I2V. Do NOT use it for effect templates; use Kling Video Effects. [Routing] Choose Kling V3 Turbo I2V when the user emphasizes speed or cost for single-image animation. Prefer Kling V3 I2V as the default high-quality I2V; prefer Kling V3 Omni I2V when multiple images or consistency-driven references are central.
