Kling 4 vs Wan 3 Prime vs Seedance 2.5: Five Video Models Compared
Compare five active VivaCreo video models by input modes, duration, resolution, audio controls, Pro access, and verified 5- and 10-second credit estimates.
Kling 4.0, Wan 3.0 Prime, Seedance 2.5, FLUX 3 Max, and MiniMax H3 Max are active in VivaCreo Video Studio for Pro plans and above. They do not offer the same input modes or output settings. This guide compares what the current VivaCreo catalog exposes and how much common text-to-video requests cost in VivaCreo credits.
Which models are available in VivaCreo?
As checked on October 25, 2026, all five models have active catalog records and can be submitted in the local application. The current access policy places each one in the Pro tier. The model picker filters access for the signed-in account, so the options shown to a user depend on their plan.
The comparison below uses the controls currently shown in VivaCreo. Model specifications were checked against current documentation, then compared with the modes and settings available in the app. A model's advertised benchmark or product description is not an independent quality test, so this guide does not rank image quality.
Choose a model by the task
| If you need to... | Start with | Why it fits | Trade-off to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edit an existing video with an instruction | Kling 4.0 Video Edit | The catalog has a separate video-edit endpoint with a required source video and an edit prompt. | It is a different task from generating a new clip from a video reference. Check the edit endpoint's source-video limits and quote. |
| Place visual guidance at several moments | FLUX 3 Max Keyframes | The catalog accepts up to 10 images assigned to frame positions. | It creates a new clip between selected frames. It does not edit a source video. |
| Generate a longer scene from multiple reference types | Seedance 2.5 | It offers 4 to 30 seconds, image, video, and audio references, and up to 720p in the current form. | There is no 1080p option in VivaCreo for this model. The displayed estimate can vary with resolution and aspect ratio. |
| Make a 1080p clip up to 30 seconds | Kling 4.0 or Wan 3.0 Prime | Both list 1080p output and durations up to 30 seconds. | Kling offers multi-shot prompts and a separate edit mode. Wan offers audio, prompt expansion, and enhanced thinking controls. |
| Start with the lowest example estimate for a 5-second clip | MiniMax H3 Max at 768p | The current local quote is 67.2 credits for 5 seconds at 768p. | 768p is not a like-for-like comparison with 720p or 1080p. H3 Max has a shorter 5 to 15 second range. |
These are workflow suggestions, not claims that one model always produces a better result. A short test with the same prompt and inputs is the most useful way to compare the outputs for your own project.
Compare the input modes
| Model | Text to video | Image to video | Video as a reference | Timed keyframes | Edit an existing video |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kling 4.0 | Yes | Yes, with a start image and optional end image | Yes, with image and video references or elements | No | Yes, separate Video Edit endpoint |
| Wan 3.0 Prime | Yes | Yes, with a start image and optional end image | Yes, with image, video, and audio references | No, the image mode has an optional end image | No edit endpoint in the current catalog |
| Seedance 2.5 | Yes | Yes, with a start image and optional end image | Yes, with image, video, and audio references | No, the image mode has an optional end image | No edit endpoint in the current catalog |
| FLUX 3 Max | Yes | Yes, with a start image | No video-reference endpoint in the current catalog | Yes, up to 10 timed images | No edit endpoint in the current catalog |
| MiniMax H3 Max | Yes | Yes, with a start image and optional end image | Yes, with image, video, and audio references | No timed keyframe mode in the current catalog | No edit endpoint in the current catalog |
A video reference and video editing are different workflows. In a reference-to-video request, the source clip guides a new generation. Kling 4.0 Video Edit instead requires a source clip and an instruction for changing it. FLUX keyframes are also different: you upload still images, assign frame positions, and describe the movement between them.
VivaCreo's reference endpoints have different file caps and accepted formats. For example, its current Seedance 2.5 form allows up to 30 images, 10 videos, and 10 audio files, subject to an overall limit of 50 references. The Kling, Wan, and H3 Max forms have their own limits. Check the selected mode's upload controls before preparing a large reference set.
Duration, resolution, audio, and controls
| Model | Duration | Resolution | Aspect ratio in text mode | Audio in VivaCreo | Other controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kling 4.0 | 3 to 30 seconds | 720p or 1080p | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 21:9 | No separate audio switch is exposed in the current form. | Multi-shot prompt list with per-shot timing. Reference mode also accepts images, videos, and elements. |
| Wan 3.0 Prime | 2 to 30 seconds | 480p, 720p, or 1080p | Adaptive, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Audio is on by default and can be switched off. | Prompt expansion and enhanced thinking are on by default. Seed is optional. Reference mode also accepts documents and public web URLs when enhanced thinking is enabled. |
| Seedance 2.5 | 4 to 30 seconds, or Auto | 480p or 720p | Auto, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Audio is on by default and can be switched off. | Optional end image in image mode, multimodal references, and an optional seed. Choose a fixed duration and ratio when you need a predictable quote. |
| FLUX 3 Max | 5 to 20 seconds | 720p or 1080p | Auto, 21:9, 2:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Audio is on by default and can be switched off. | Low or high reasoning, optional seed, and up to 10 timed keyframes. 1080p is an upscale from 720p. |
| MiniMax H3 Max | 5 to 15 seconds | 480p, 768p, or 1080p | 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Native audio is supported. The VivaCreo form has no separate audio switch. | Prompt expansion can be disabled or set to balanced or quality. Seed and safety checker are available. 1080p is refined from native 768p. |
The table reflects VivaCreo's current controls, not every field that may exist in an API. In particular, the aspect-ratio list can differ between a model's text, image, and reference modes. H3 Max adds an adaptive ratio in its reference mode, but not in its text mode.

Reference media and pricing notes
Reference media and generation mode can change the displayed estimate. The table above covers text-to-video without reference media; it is not a price comparison for image-to-video, reference-to-video, keyframe, or edit workflows. For those, choose the relevant mode and inputs in VivaCreo Video Studio and review the estimate shown for that request.
Model specifications, VivaCreo controls, access rules, and credit estimates can change. The figures above are a dated snapshot of the listed settings, so check Video Studio for the current estimate before submitting.
Frequently asked questions
Which of these models can edit a video I already have?
Kling 4.0 is the only model in this comparison with a separate existing-video edit endpoint in the current VivaCreo catalog. Wan 3.0 Prime, Seedance 2.5, and MiniMax H3 Max accept video references to guide a new generation. FLUX 3 Max accepts timed image keyframes, not a source video.
Which model can generate the longest clip?
Kling 4.0, Wan 3.0 Prime, and Seedance 2.5 list durations up to 30 seconds. Seedance also offers Auto. FLUX 3 Max goes up to 20 seconds, and MiniMax H3 Max goes up to 15 seconds in the current VivaCreo form.
Which model is cheapest?
In the displayed examples, MiniMax H3 Max at 768p has the lowest 5-second estimate at 67.2 credits. That is not a direct 720p comparison, and the estimates assume text-to-video without references. Compare the same duration and a similar resolution for a more useful price check.
Do all five models support audio?
Wan 3.0 Prime, Seedance 2.5, and FLUX 3 Max expose an audio setting in VivaCreo. MiniMax H3 Max supports native audio but has no audio switch in the VivaCreo form. The Kling 4.0 form does not expose a separate audio control. Check the selected model's current controls before submitting.
Are the five models available without a subscription?
No. As checked on October 25, 2026, the current VivaCreo access catalog places these five models in the Pro tier. Available options can change if the access policy changes.
Why can my estimate differ from the table?
The table uses fixed text-to-video settings without reference media. A different duration, resolution, aspect ratio, audio option, reference, or generation mode can change the VivaCreo estimate. Check the amount shown in Video Studio for your selected settings.
