How do I switch AI models in a workflow?
Why switch models
Different shots call for different models: a realistic talking scene, a stylized action moment, a fast draft. Atlabs lets you swap models with a click so you can pick the right one per shot without leaving your project or setting up a new account.
Switch models in an AI App
Every AI App has a Model dropdown near the top of the upload panel:
- Open the app (e.g., Video → Image to Video, Image → Create Image, Video → Lip Sync).
- Open the Model dropdown.
- Select a model; the estimate updates to reflect it.
- Generate.
Switch the video model inside a workflow (per scene)
Inside a project, motion is generated per scene, so you can choose a different video model for each one:
- Open a scene and go to the Motion tab.
- Open the Model selector (Seedance 1 Pro Fast is the default).
[EDITOR: confirm current default model name] - Choose the model that fits that scene, then generate motion.
💡 Tip: Use a fast model to block out the whole video, then switch your hero scenes to a higher-quality model like Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1 before final export.
Frequently Asked Question
How do I choose the image or motion model?
Select it in the image and model picker at the Finalize step, right below the three generation options. If you leave it on automatic, atlabs uses the default model to generate images and motions.
If you choose the storyboard preview option in the Finalize step, you can choose the 'select scene to generate video' option on the right below the video preview. You can choose the motion model here before generating all the scenes.
