Image to Image AI · Independent product video test
Same prompts. Four video models.
Kling completed the requested actions in both product prompts in this test. Veo 3.1 Fast cost less and returned sooner than Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2; Seedance 2 changed the coffee machine’s shape. Watch the 4-second samples before choosing for your own product.

Settings, cost and waiting time
KIE dollars below are historical provider charges per clip, not retail prices on Image to Image AI. Site credits are calculated from current configuration for the tested settings. Generation uses the existing credit flow; viewing these results is public. Exact request settings, including Kling’s std mode, are in the CSV.

All web previews are compressed and silent. In the wider four-model test, original audio: Veo and MiniMax had sound; Kling used sound=false and Seedance used generate_audio=false. MiniMax’s request had no audio parameter. No audio quality comparison was performed.
P1 · Text to video: opening earbuds case
Same text prompt · 16:9 requested · 4 seconds · each model’s tested tier below
Look for the lid opening on camera, the slow push-in, water droplets and any unrequested objects.
Exact prompt
Premium product commercial: a matte black wireless earbuds case slowly opens on a wet slate surface, morning sunlight through light mist, water droplets on the case, slow cinematic push-in, shallow depth of field. No text, no logos.

P2 · Image to video: pour the espresso
Same square first frame and text prompt · 4 seconds · output shapes differ by model
Look for the cup sliding in, visible coffee flow, camera motion and retention of the machine’s body and handle.
Exact prompt
The camera slowly orbits the coffee machine; a white ceramic cup slides under the spout and a thin stream of espresso pours, steam rising, soft studio lighting. Keep the machine shape, glossy white finish and wooden handle unchanged.

What this test can tell you
Image to Image AI ran the same product prompts once on each model using the lowest tested tier. Timing runs from submission until success was detected by polling every 15 seconds; it is not a latency guarantee. Observations are editorial readings of sampled frames, without blinded review or repeated trials.
There is no resolution-matched comparison, long-duration test or systematic audio test here. A different prompt, seed, input, tier or retry can produce a different result. KIE costs were checked against balance differences in the test record; the CSV provides the public measurements and settings.
Sources and configuration
Measured on 2026-10-23: local KIE request ledger, downloaded outputs and frame observations. The public CSV records those measurements. Current site credit figures come from the existing model estimators; historical provider dollar charges use the test record, checked against KIE pricing on that date.
The previews are KIE outputs, transcoded and compressed with audio removed. The shared P2 first frame was an image previously generated on Image to Image AI.

Questions about this comparison
Is this a fair benchmark of overall model quality?
No. There is one sample per cell, the resolution tiers differ, and the observations were not blinded. Use the clips to inspect these tasks, not to predict every generation.
Are the KIE dollar costs the price I pay here?
No. They are the historical provider charges for these test clips. Image to Image AI uses site credits; the table shows current configured credits for the tested settings.
Can I watch the samples without an account?
Yes. The samples, reference image and CSV are public. Creating your own video follows the existing account and credit requirements.
Which model should I try for a product action?
Kling completed both requested actions in these samples while keeping the coffee machine’s shape. Veo Fast is worth inspecting for shape retention at lower provider cost, and Seedance for camera motion; neither result guarantees your next output.
