Quality tiers
Two engines.
Pick per video.
Version 2.5 is not simply the better one — it trades away the high-resolution outputs to buy length, a much longer brief, and steadier motion. Which of those you need changes from ad to ad, so the choice sits in the generator, next to the settings it affects.
Side by side
What actually differs
| Version 2.0 | Version 2.5Coming soon | |
|---|---|---|
| Longest single take | 15 seconds | 30 seconds |
| Resolutions | 480p · 720p · 1080p · 1080p SR | 480p · 720p |
| Brief length | 2,000 characters | 5,000 characters |
| Aspect ratio | Choose any — 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 | Follows your source image |
| Shot continuity | Strong | Noticeably steadier across a long take |
| Credits per second | Baseline | About a quarter more |
| Spoken languages | 9 languages with lip-sync tuned for native-sounding voices, on both. Other languages still render — name yours in the brief. | |
Credits are charged per second of finished video, so a longer clip costs more on either tier. The generator shows the exact figure before you spend anything.
Pick Version 2.0 when
- You need 1080p or the super-resolution output — 2.5 does not offer them.
- The ad has to land in a specific aspect ratio your source image is not already in.
- The clip is short. Under 15 seconds, the two are close enough that the cheaper one wins.
Pick Version 2.5 when
- The story needs more than 15 seconds and you would otherwise stitch two clips together.
- The brief is detailed — 2.5 reads two and a half times more of it before it starts guessing.
- The camera moves a lot, where holding the subject steady across the whole take is the hard part.
You are not locked in either way. The tier is a per-video setting, so the same product photo can go out as a 30-second story today and a 1080p hero cut tomorrow.

The difference is easier to see than to describe. Upload one product image and render it twice — the settings panel switches tiers in a click.
