How to choose the right engine
What is text-to-video AI?
Text-to-video AI turns a written prompt into a fully rendered video clip — characters, camera moves, lighting, even audio. The latest 2025–2026 generation of models (Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Hailuo 2.3, Wan 2.7, Seedance 2.0) deliver cinematic 1080p output, multi-shot continuity, and synced sound. For Video AI aggregates them all so you can pick the right engine for each job without juggling vendors.
How to choose
Need cinematic realism with audio? Use Veo 3.1 or Veo 3. Need strong motion physics? Kling 3.0 / Kling 2.1 Master excel. Need fast / affordable generations? Hailuo 02 and Kling 2.5 Turbo are great picks. Need flexible aspect ratios for social content? Wan 2.2 / 2.7 is flexible. Character-driven narrative? Vidu Q2 keeps faces stable across shots.
Pricing
Every engine is billed in gems on the same wallet — no separate subscriptions. Costs vary by model and duration; the engine page shows the exact gem cost before you click Generate.
FAQ
Which text-to-video model is the best in 2026?
There is no single winner. Veo 3.1 leads on cinematic realism and audio; Kling 3.0 leads on motion physics; Hailuo 2.3 is the strongest fast/affordable tier; Wan 2.7 wins on flexibility. Use this page to A/B them on the same prompt.
Do I need separate accounts for each model?
No. One ForVideo.ai account and one gem balance unlocks every engine on this page.
What aspect ratios and resolutions are supported?
Most engines support 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:3 at up to 1080p. Some (Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0) support longer durations and audio. Click any card to see the per-engine options.
Can I generate videos with sound?
Yes. Veo 3 / Veo 3.1 and HappyHorse 1.0 generate synced native audio. Others are silent and can be paired with our AI audio tools after generation.
How long does a single generation take?
Typically 30 seconds to 4 minutes depending on engine, duration, and queue load. "Turbo" / "Fast" tiers like Kling 2.5 Turbo and Hailuo 02 are usually fastest.
