Direct answer: for the longest clips, use Seedance 2.5 or Wan 3.0 (up to 30 seconds per generation). For native 4K, Veo 3.1 Fast is the only option. For a consistent character, Seedance 2.5 takes the most reference images (30). For a free first test, Seedance 2.0 Mini, Seedance 1.5 Pro and SeeDance 1 Pro Fast run on free credits. The table below compares all 14 video models on Yovid as of October 15, 2026.

Every model in the table can start from text or from an image. Credit costs change with promotions, so they are not repeated here: the text to video and image to video pages show a live version of this table with the current credits for a 5-second clip, read straight from the model settings.

How to read it

  • Longest clip is the most one generation can produce. Shorter lengths are always available, and shorter clips cost fewer credits.
  • Top resolution is the highest setting the model offers. Whether you can pick it depends on your plan (see below).
  • Audio switch means you can turn generated sound on or off. "No" does not always mean silent: Veo 3.1, for example, adds its own native audio, you just cannot switch it.
  • First + last frame means you can upload a second image and the clip will end on it, which makes transitions, reveals and before-and-after shots predictable.
  • Reference images is how many pictures of a character, product or style you can attach so the model keeps them consistent.
  • On free credits marks the entry models a new account can use before choosing a plan.
