Atlabs gives you many top-tier AI models in one place, so you never manage separate accounts or API keys. The trick isn't finding "the best" model; there isn't one. Each model is best at a different job. This guide matches the model to what you're trying to make: **video**, **images**, and **lip sync**. You can always switch models with a click; see [How do I switch AI models in a workflow?] πŸ’‘ **Rule of thumb:** draft cheap, finish rich. Explore an idea on a fast, low-cost model, then re-run your favourite scenes on a higher-quality one. ## Video models | Model | Best for | Good to know | | **Kling 3.0** | Cinematic hero shots, multi-shot storytelling, branded content, on-screen text and logos | Sharpest detail, camera-motion control, strong character consistency; higher cost, slower | | **Kling 3.0 Pro** | The highest-quality Kling tier, premium cinematic and final hero shots | Enhanced cinematic quality and refined motion; the top tier for cost and quality | | **Kling 2.6** | Everyday social and short-form, talking characters, close-up motion | Generates audio in one pass; faster and cheaper, a great default | | **Google Veo 3.1** | Photorealism, realistic talking video, wide establishing shots | Native audio with lip-synced dialogue; also powers Image to Video | | **Seedance 2.0** | Building from your own references, music-synced videos, action and stylized/anime | Accepts multiple image, video, and audio references; can sync motion to a music beat | | **Hailuo 2.3** | Fast, budget, high-volume work; anime and stylized looks | Very fast and cheap; shorter clips; strong physics | | **Wan 2.6** | Budget-friendly cinematic and high-volume testing | Strong price-to-quality | | **Runway** | Image-to-video and stylized transforms | Cinematic look; creative editing | **Quick picks by goal:** * Realistic talking person β†’ **Veo 3.1** * Cinematic, multi-shot, or branded film β†’ **Kling 3.0** (or **Kling 3.0 Pro** for final hero shots) * Fast, cheap social clips β†’ **Kling 2.6** or **Hailuo 2.3** * Anime, stylized, or kids' content β†’ **Hailuo 2.3** or **Seedance 2.0** * Music video synced to the beat β†’ **Seedance 2.0** * Build a scene from your own images, clips, or audio β†’ **Seedance 2.0** * Action or physics-heavy motion β†’ **Seedance 2.0** or **Hailuo 2.3** ## Image models (Create Image) | Model | Best for | Good to know | | **Flux 2 Pro** | Portrait photorealism, product and brand shots, safe all-round default | Strong reference control and real-world lighting | | **Imagen 4** | The most photorealistic look, people, landscapes, hero images | Reads like a real photo; limited for image-to-image edits | | **Nano Banana 2** | Recurring characters and mascots, editing, combining references, legible text | Google's Gemini image model; excellent character consistency across images | | **Nano Banana Pro** | Highest-fidelity, 4K character and hero work | Preserves fine texture; reach for it when the image is the final product | | **Nano Banana Lite** | Fast, low-cost, character-consistent drafts | The lightest of the three, for quick iteration | | **Seedream 5** | Text rendering, 4K, product shots, high-volume batches | Fast and cheap at scale; strong on legible in-image text | | **Gemini Omni Flash** | Fast multimodal image generation and edits | `[EDITOR: confirm exact capabilities and where it appears]` | | **Z-Image Turbo** | Fast, cheap drafts, thumbnails, high-volume batches | Generates in about a second, ideal for iteration | **Quick picks by goal:** * The same character across many images β†’ **Nano Banana 2** (or **Flux 2 Pro**) * Highest-fidelity or 4K hero image β†’ **Nano Banana Pro** or **Imagen 4** * Legible text inside an image β†’ **Seedream 5** (or **Nano Banana 2**) * Clean product or brand shot β†’ **Flux 2 Pro** or **Seedream 5** * Lots of quick variations to choose from β†’ **Z-Image Turbo** or **Nano Banana Lite** πŸ’‘ **Tip:** Generate a still in **Create Image** first, then animate it in **Image to Video** or **Motion Control**. A strong starting frame makes for a stronger video. > The Create Image dropdown may include still more options (e.g. Flux Kontext for surgical prompt-based edits, GPT Image, Ideogram for text-heavy designs, older Flux/SDXL). If those are live, slot them into the table. Also confirm where **Gemini Omni Flash** belongs, image generation, editing, or a multimodal tool, and which surfaces expose the Nano Banana 2 / Lite / Pro tiers. ## Lip-sync models | Model | Best for | Good to know | | **Sync 2.0** | Re-dubbing real footage, multilingual dubbing, tricky angles and close-ups | Understands the whole shot; preserves the speaker's style | | **Omnihuman** | Film-grade expressive talking humans from a photo; full-body motion, gestures, singing | Highest fidelity; also handles cartoon and anime | | **Hedra** | Animating a still portrait or character to speak | Great for a specific uploaded face or illustration; expressive | | **Kling Lip Sync** | Lip-syncing Atlabs-generated clips | Tuned for AI-generated video; balanced speed and quality | | **Latent Sync** | Quick, short clips (roughly under 3 seconds) | Lightweight and cheapest; use for short snippets | **Quick picks by goal:** * Re-dub an existing video β†’ **Sync 2.0** * Make a photo talk, with maximum realism and expression β†’ **Omnihuman** or **Hedra** * Sync a character inside an Atlabs-generated scene β†’ **Kling Lip Sync** * A short clip on a tight budget β†’ **Latent Sync** * Singing or a full-body performance β†’ **Omnihuman** ## Matching models to popular workflows * **Personalized music video with your face** β†’ realistic video (**Veo 3.1** or **Kling**), and **Omnihuman** or **Hedra** for lip sync. See [How do I make a personalized music video with my face (and multiple performers)?] * **Kids' rhyme and educational videos** β†’ **Hailuo 2.3** or **Seedance 2.0** for a bright animated look, and **Nano Banana** to keep a mascot consistent. See [How do I make kids' rhyme and educational videos?] * **Faith and devotional videos** β†’ **Kling 3.0** or **Veo 3.1** for calm, cinematic realism. See [How do I make faith and devotional videos (Christian, Islamic, Hindu, and more)?] * **UGC product ads** β†’ **Kling 3.0** for polished, text-legible ad shots; **Seedance 2.0** if you're compositing your product from reference images. ## A few things worth knowing * **Not every model appears in every tool.** Video models live in the **Motion** tab and in **Image to Video**; image models are in **Create Image**; lip-sync models are in **Lip Sync**. The dropdown in each tool shows what's available there. * **Some models are gated by plan.** Higher-tier models may require a paid plan. * **Cost varies by model, length, and resolution**, and you always see the live estimate before you generate.
