  • pixverse/video-restyle: [Core Function] PixVerse Restyle re-renders an existing video into a new visual style. [Strengths] Consistent style transfer across all frames. [Best For] Turning footage into anime/3D/painterly looks, stylized remixes. [Limitations] Do NOT use this to change content, motion, or add new scenes; it only re-renders the visual style of an existing video. It requires an input video, and you must provide EITHER restyle_id (a preset style code from the PixVerse restyle list) OR restyle_prompt (free-text style, max 2048 chars), not both. [Routing] Use when the user wants to change the look of an existing video. Use restyle_id for an official preset, restyle_prompt for a custom style.
  • xai/grok-imagine-video-edit: [Core Function] Grok Imagine Video Edit applies a prompt-guided transformation to an input video. [Strengths] It excels at restyling and modifying an existing video while keeping its original duration and aspect ratio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: restyling clips, applying visual effects, and prompt-driven video edits. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to change the duration, aspect ratio, or resolution; the output preserves the input video’s duration and aspect ratio, and those parameters are not configurable. Input video constraints (e.g. format/length) are enforced by the upstream provider. [Routing] Use this model when the user provides a video and wants it edited/restyled. To make a video longer, use Video Extend.
  • 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.
  • google/gemini-omni-flash-video-edit: [Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash Video Edit performs conversational, instruction-driven editing of an existing video via the Interactions API. [Strengths] It applies natural-language edits (changing the scene, mood, style, lighting, background, or time of day) to an input video while preserving the source video’s length and aspect ratio, with synchronized audio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: re-styling or re-lighting an existing clip, changing a video’s setting or atmosphere, and quick instruction-based revisions of a short video. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to generate a video from scratch (use T2V, I2V, or R2V), and do NOT expect to change the output resolution, aspect ratio, or duration: the output preserves the source video’s aspect ratio and length, and the model does not accept aspectRatio or duration parameters. The source video should be 3 to 10 seconds. [Routing] Choose this only when the user provides an existing video to modify. To create a new video from text or images, use Gemini Omni Flash T2V, I2V, or R2V instead.
