Video Lab FAQ
What is Clip Studio Video Lab?
Video Lab is one workspace for generating videos with text prompts or source images across 12 curated frontier models. Choose a model, add a prompt or image, review the exact credit quote, and keep the completed clip in your Clip Studio Library.
Are these the 12 most popular AI video models?
No objective cross-provider popularity ranking exists. This is an editorial selection of 12 frontier video models chosen for useful differences in quality, speed, control, format support, audio, and resolution.
How is Video Lab priced?
Each model and setting has a different provider cost. Clip Studio applies a 50% markup to its current provider rate card, converts that amount into credits, and shows the exact credit charge before you generate.
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, Wan, MiniMax, PixVerse, and LTX also support first-to-last-frame direction, while Veo, Seedance, Happy Horse, Gemini, Wan, MiniMax, and Grok offer multi-image reference workflows.
