SByteDance Seed

### [Seedance 2.5](https://aivideomodel.org/models/seedance-2-5)

Reference-led storytelling
A candidate for longer scenes and multimodal reference workflows. The launch announcement describes timestamp-level audio and video editing.

- 30s maximum single-pass generation
- Verify in your chosen platform

Sourced specification[Read guide ↗](https://aivideomodel.org/models/seedance-2-5)

KKuaishou

### [Kling 4.0](https://aivideomodel.org/models/kling-4-0)

Keyframe direction
A candidate when a shot needs several planned visual beats. Kuaishou describes a 30-second single pass and reference-driven camera and subject control.

- 30s maximum single-pass generation
- 4K and 1080p described as upcoming in launch release

Sourced specification[Read guide ↗](https://aivideomodel.org/models/kling-4-0)

GGoogle

### [Gemini Omni Flash](https://aivideomodel.org/models/gemini-omni-flash)

Conversational editing
A candidate for applications that refine a short video through follow-up instructions. The stable model card lists 3–10-second output.

- 10s maximum single-pass generation
- 360p / 720p; 1080p and 4K upscaled

RRunway

### [Runway Gen-4.5](https://aivideomodel.org/models/runway-gen-4-5)

Shot-by-shot creation
A candidate for short directed shots with text or a starting image. The help page specifies 2–10-second generations and a web credit rate.

- 10s maximum single-pass generation
- 720p base output

LLuma

### [Luma Ray3.2](https://aivideomodel.org/models/luma-ray-3-2)

Footage transformation
A candidate for editing existing footage and workflows that need keyframes, HDR or compositing exports. Modify Video V2 accepts footage up to 20 seconds.

- Generation duration not confirmed
- 1080p; HDR and EXR workflow documented

### The right model starts with your shot.

Compare controls, access and output requirements. Then run a small pilot with an acceptance rubric you can actually use.

No invented scores. No universal winner.

## Two useful workflow comparisons.

[01Model comparison

### Kling 4.0 vs Seedance 2.5: choose by reference workflow

Both official announcements describe up to 30-second single-pass generation. The useful decision is how each tool handles your references, required changes and actual access—not which one advertises a longer clip.
Read the guide ↗](https://aivideomodel.org/compare/kling-vs-seedance)[02Model comparison

### Runway Gen-4.5 vs Luma Ray3.2: a shot or a footage workflow?

Runway’s cited Gen-4.5 page centers on text- and image-led generation. Luma’s current information also describes footage transformation, keyframes and HDR/EXR delivery. Choose the workflow your project actually needs.
Read the guide ↗](https://aivideomodel.org/compare/runway-vs-luma)

## How to read this comparison

The duration column means a single generation, not an assembled sequence or a footage-editing limit. The resolution column preserves whether a source calls output upscaled or planned. API access is listed only where the cited documentation establishes it; a web launch is not treated as an API launch.

No field is a quality score. Choose a representative task and compare accepted output under the requirements that matter to your project. A short product reveal, a character scene and an existing-footage transformation may produce very different shortlists. Keep costs in their published units until you can establish a valid conversion for your own account.
