Video Lab FAQ
What is Clip Studio Video Lab?
Video Lab is one workspace for generating videos with text prompts, source images, or an existing clip across 29 curated frontier models. Choose a model, add a prompt, image, or source MP4, generate, and keep the completed clip in your Clip Studio Library.
Are these the 29 most popular AI video models?
No objective cross-provider popularity ranking exists. This is an editorial selection of 29 frontier video models chosen for useful differences in quality, speed, control, format support, audio, and resolution.
How is Video Lab priced?
Each plan includes a monthly generation limit. Model, duration, resolution, and other settings use that allowance. Upgrade anytime for a higher monthly limit.
Can I compare the same prompt across models?
Yes. Generate with one model at a time, then use Try another model to preserve your prompt, compatible settings, and available source images while you select a different model.
Which image-to-video workflows are supported?
Every Video Lab model can animate a starting image. Veo, Seedance, Kling 3 Pro, Kling 3 4K, Kling O3, Kling O3 Pro, Kling O3 4K, Wan, MiniMax, Gemini, PixVerse, LTX, and FLUX 3 also support first-to-last-frame direction, including MiniMax H3 Max Turbo.

Can Video Lab edit an existing clip?
Yes, on FLUX 3. Choose Edit clip, pick a library clip or upload an MP4. Clips must be MP4, under 15 seconds and 50 MB. Lip sync follows new dialogue, including translations. Duration and aspect follow the source. Output is 720p and keeps the source clip’s audio unless you rewrite or translate the dialogue. Other Video Lab models generate from text or images.
