Pick a video model for each shot
What each video model on Genien is good at, what one clip costs, how Genien chooses for you, and prompts that work across models.
How Genien picks
A one-click run makes its clips with MiniMax H3 Max. Shots where only the camera moves use H3 Max Camera, which keeps the whole scene frozen, so nothing in it can drift. Frames come first from the image model best at that kind of frame: GPT Image 2.5 for products, hands, people and fine detail, and Nano Banana 2.1 for empty rooms and phone-style videos.
On the canvas you can switch any clip to another model and see the new price before it runs.

Prices are estimates read from the same catalog as the canvas. The canvas shows the price for your settings before anything runs. Every model is on the models page.
What the makers show
Clips that Kling, Luma and Runway publish themselves, played without sound from their YouTube channels. None of them was made with Genien. Runway's models are on hold on Genien for now.
Prompts that work across models
- Start from an approved frame. A clip made from a frame keeps the product far better than one made from words alone.
- Describe only the motion, in one sentence. The frame already shows what things look like.
- Keep the camera still when the product changes, such as a lid opening. Move the camera only when nothing else changes.
- One simple change per clip. For a change with several steps, give a first, a middle and a last frame, or cut it into short clips.
- Film any shot that has to prove a result. AI footage shows the idea, not the proof.
