Before the first take

Questions from the directing room.

What is Clip Studio Video Lab?

Video Lab is one workspace for generating videos with text prompts, source images, or an existing clip across 32 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 32 most popular AI video models?

No objective cross-provider popularity ranking exists. This is an editorial selection of 32 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 (including Seedance 2.0 Mini), Kling 4.0, Kling 3 Pro, Kling 3 4K, Kling O3, Kling O3 Pro, Kling O3 4K, Wan, MiniMax, Gemini, PixVerse, LTX, Luma Ray 3.2, FLUX 3, and FLUX 3 Max also support first-to-last-frame direction, including MiniMax H3 Max Turbo. Kling 3 Turbo Pro is animate-only—no first/last frames. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedance, Kling 4.0 (up to 10), HeyGen Video (up to 9), Happy Horse, Gemini, Wan, MiniMax H3, MiniMax H3 Max, Kling O3, Kling O3 Pro, Kling O3 4K, PixVerse C1 (up to 4), and Grok offer multi-image reference workflows. Veo 3.1 Lite is text, animate, and first/last only—no references or 4K. Kling 3 Pro and Kling 3 4K use subject reference elements inside the image workflow. H3 Max Turbo has first/last like H3 Max but no references. HeyGen Video takes a start image or references but no first/last frames. FLUX 3 can also restyle an existing MP4 with Edit clip (up to 15 seconds and 50 MB).

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.
