Image-to-video API comparison
Compare Seedance, Kling, and MiniMax H3 by reference inputs, motion control, audio, and duration.
Start with your input assets
Check whether the model accepts a first frame, last frame, or motion reference. If you only have a still image, use a first-frame model. For motion transfer, check the required reference roles and clip duration.
Compare the same shot
Set the subject, framing, and final frame as acceptance criteria. Match resolution, duration, and audio options before comparing quotes. Generate and review one short clip, then check its charge before scaling up.
Test prompt
Use the reference image as the first frame. Move the camera slowly to the right. Keep the subject and background continuous. End with the subject centered and hold for one second.
