# Which video model to choose?

For video, the key question is: what should happen on screen? A product that must stay intact, fabric in motion, a multi-shot film with dialogue: each need has its engine.

# The right engine for each need

| Your need | The engine | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Animate your product without distorting it | **Your Seelab video model** | Product fidelity in motion |
| Animate an approved visual, with sound | **Gemini Omni Flash 1.1** | Native sound |
| Fabrics, liquids, human motion, long shots | **Kling v4** | Realistic physics |
| A multi-shot film with voice and references | **SeeDance v2.5** | Multiple references, sound included |
| A transition between two images | **Minimax H3-Max** | First and last frame |

You choose the engine in **AI Engine**, in the Settings of the **Medias** tab. With your Seelab model, in the **Custom Models** tab, the engine is your model's own.

# A two-step method

1. **Validate the motion** with an economical engine or at low resolution, over a short duration.
2. **Launch the final render** with the engine and resolution you chose.

| For a product, start from an approved image in **Start / End Frames**: it is the most reliable way to keep the label and the logo intact.
