Video Models
All video models share the same Banana Flow credit pool — switch between them without juggling provider accounts. Generation typically takes 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on model and length.
Quick reference
| Model | Provider | Lengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3 | 5 / 8s | Camera control, physics, photoreal scenes | |
| Seedance 2.0 | ByteDance | 4 / 8 / 12s | Multimodal directing, native lip-sync audio |
| Kling 2.1 | Kling | 5 / 10s | Excellent character motion |
| Runway Gen-3 | Runway | 5 / 10s | Established workhorse, broad style range |
| Hailuo 2.3 | MiniMax | 6s | Fast iteration, stylized motion |
Veo 3
Google’s flagship video model. Strong camera control (dolly, pan, tracking) and physically plausible motion. Great pick when you need the camera itself to do something specific.
Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16
Seedance 2.0
ByteDance’s multimodal video director. Accepts text, images, video clips, and audio as direction. Generates native synchronized audio (including lip-sync) without a separate pass.
-
Multi-shot character consistency across cuts and camera angles
-
Aspect ratios: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9 (cinematic ultra-wide)
-
Cost (per second, scales with duration):
- 480p → 19 credits/s
- 720p → 41 credits/s
- 1080p → 102 credits/s
At 12s, 720p that’s 492 credits; at 4s, 480p just 76 credits.
Pick this when: you need dialogue, multi-shot scenes, or cinematic ratios.
Kling 2.1
Best-in-class character motion. Faces, hands, and full-body action all hold up better than most competitors. Use it for clips where a person or creature is the focus.
Runway Gen-3
The original cinematic-style generator. Reliable for atmospheric short clips and stylized motion.
Hailuo 2.3
MiniMax’s video model. Lightweight, fast, and good at stylized rather than photoreal output.
