How to choose in three questions

  1. Do you already have the visual? If yes, use an image-to-video model so the subject stays exactly as it is. If no, start with a text-to-video or image model.
  2. Does someone need to speak? If yes, use the avatar model rather than trying to prompt speech out of a general video model.
  3. Do you need one shot or a whole video? One shot is a single model call; a whole video is Topic to Video.
