Video models in detail

Each sheet covers a video engine available in AI Engine: what it does best, its limits, its settings and its cost per second of video.


The exact cost is shown next to the Generate button before you launch. Validate your movement at low resolution, then launch the final render.


To animate your product without distorting it, use your Seelab video model. See Which video model to choose?
