Color Grading vs LUTs: what is the difference?
Learn the difference between color grading and LUTs, when to use each, and why professional video editors combine both for faster, better-looking results.
That toolbox belongs to you, because Envato’s AI video generator has integrated eleven of the most capable AI video generation models available: Google Veo 3.1, Kling 2.5, Kling 2.6, Kling O1, MiniMax Hailuo 02, Hailuo 2.3, Alibaba Wan 2.5, Luma Ray 3, Pixverse 5, and ByteDance Seedance 1.0 Pro.
This list updates almost daily as the technology moves and new models ship. That’s the point of our tool-agnostic approach — you don’t need to become an expert in each model’s strengths and weaknesses. You don’t need to research which handles physics better, which nails human expression, or which produces the cleanest dialogue. You use Envato’s AI video generator with confidence, knowing the best available technology is under the hood.
Even so, it’s useful to know how each model works and where each one shines. Let’s meet the models powering Envato’s AI video generator.
TL;DR: Envato’s AI video generator routes your prompt to eleven leading models — including Google Veo 3.1, three Kling variants, MiniMax Hailuo 2.3, Alibaba Wan 2.5, Luma Ray 3, Pixverse 5, and ByteDance Seedance 1.0 Pro. Each specializes in different strengths (native audio, physics, character consistency, multi-shot storytelling), and Envato picks the right one for your prompt so you don’t have to.

| Seedance 1.0 Pro | ByteDance | Multi-shot story sequences | Cohesive storytelling |
Google Veo 3.1: Native audio and video generation
The Veo 3.1 AI model generates video and audio together as a unified creation. Where most AI video generators produce silent clips requiring separate sound design, Veo builds the entire audiovisual experience from your prompt in a single pass.
Write dialogue in quotation marks, and Veo generates the voice, matches lip movements, and adds natural facial expressions. It also understands environmental sound design: a busy street receives traffic noise and footsteps, while a forest scene is accompanied by rustling leaves and birdsong. To access audio in AI Video Generator, toggle “Audio” on before generating (available in 16:9 aspect ratio).
Kling: Motion control and unified editing
The AI Video Generator models list includes three Kling models, each serving a distinct purpose.
Kling 2.5 handles intricate physics that trip up other models: gymnastics sequences, figure skating, synchronized swimming, and combat scenes with camera tracking. The model excels at prompt adherence, accurately capturing complex, multi-step instructions.
Kling 2.6 adds simultaneous audio-visual generation. It produces video, dialogue, narration, sound effects, and ambient atmosphere in a single generation, with tight synchronization between voice rhythm, ambient sound, and visual motion.
Kling O1 takes a completely different approach. Rather than treating generation and editing as separate pipelines, O1 reasons over mixed inputs using Chain-of-Thought processing. The practical result is director-level control, featuring more natural human motion, improved character consistency across shots, and edit-like adjustments to lighting, backgrounds, and scene behavior. For narrative work requiring character consistency, Kling O1’s ability to maintain identity across clips makes it powerful for storytelling.
MiniMax Hailuo: Physics mastery and expressive performance
Hailuo 02 specializes in extreme physics simulation. Realistic fluid dynamics, accurate collision physics, authentic body mechanics — Hailuo 02 handles scenarios other models struggle with.
Hailuo 2.3 builds on that foundation with enhanced character performance. Body movements are more fluid and natural, micro-expression rendering captures subtle emotional shifts, and the model supports diverse artistic styles, including anime, illustration, ink wash painting, and game CG.
Wan 2.6: Audio sync and multilingual strength
Wan 2.6 produces dialogue, ambient sound, and background music alongside visuals in a single pass, with precise lip-sync for voiceovers. What distinguishes it is its flexibility with audio input: you can upload a voice clip or soundtrack, and the model aligns visuals to match, allowing you to design your audio track first and have the video follow. The model also excels at handling multilingual prompts, particularly those in Chinese, with more flexibility.
Luma Ray 3: Reasoning and studio-grade output
Ray 3 introduced reasoning capabilities to video generation. The model evaluates its own outputs and refines results, producing videos with more consistent characters and physics that behave as expected. Rather than just predicting pixels, Ray 3 reasons about motion and spatial relationships before generating each frame.
Pixverse 5: Speed and cinematic consistency
Pixverse 5 prioritizes fast iteration without sacrificing quality. Generation times are quick, letting you test multiple creative directions while maintaining high visual detail. The model delivers cinematic rendering with fluid camera transitions and maintains style consistency across sequences, preventing jarring frame-to-frame shifts.
ByteDance Seedance 1.0 Pro: Multi-shot storytelling
Most AI video generation models generate single shots. Seedance 1.0 Pro thinks in sequences, natively generating multiple connected shots that tell a cohesive story.
Prompt for a character walking into a room, and Seedance might generate an establishing wide shot, cut to a medium shot of the approach, then transition to a close-up as they enter. Lighting, character appearance, and visual style stay consistent across every cut. Seedance 1.0 Pro currently ranks #1 on the Artificial Analysis benchmark for text-to-video generation.
The tool-agnostic advantage
The AI video landscape moves fast. Keeping up with every architecture change and benchmark result is a full-time job most creators don’t have bandwidth for.
That’s why Envato AI Video Generator takes a tool-agnostic approach. You don’t need to track which model handles physics better or produces the best audio sync. The AI Video Generator AI generator routes your prompt automatically, and as the technology evolves, so does your toolkit. Your outputs come with a lifetime commercial license for both personal and client projects.
