Models
Every image and video model the visualizer exposes, with one-line guidance on when to reach for each.
The visualizer is a model aggregator: under the hood, every Generate Image and Generate Video click routes to one of several diffusion models from external providers. The dropdown is the working set, refreshed as providers ship new versions and as some get retired.
This page is the working reference. Pick a model based on what your shot needs; the table below has one-line guidance per model.
Image models
Flux Pro Kontext
Black Forest Labs
Photoreal stills with strong material rendering. Metallic, glass, and complex surfaces hold up well. Reference-image-conditioned and disciplined about it.
Flux2 Pro
Black Forest Labs
Next-generation Flux. Cleaner subjects, finer detail, better at rendering text in the image when text matters.
Nano Banana Pro
The cinematic workhorse. Strongest with image references, especially for character consistency across shots. Default reach for hero shots when you have reference imagery.
Nano Banana 2
Sharper than Pro on certain stylized treatments. Picky about prompts; rewards specificity.
GPT Image 2
OpenAI
OpenAI's image model in the working set. Different stylistic register from the Flux and Nano Banana families; useful as an alternative when the others flatten the subject.
Seedream 5 Pro
ByteDance
Holds composition harder than anything else in the working set. Reach for it when the shot you framed has to survive the render intact, and when detail named in the description needs to outrank the reference images on everything except identity.
Video models
Veo 3.1
Wide latitude, slow generation. Best for atmospheric long-take shots where motion is naturalistic and you have time to wait.
Veo 3.1 Fast
Faster Veo at lower fidelity. Iteration-tier for atmospheric shots.
Kling 2.5 Turbo
Kuaishou
Fast iteration. Use when you're cycling through compositions and want feedback in seconds.
Kling 2.6 Pro
Kuaishou
Action-shot strong. Reach for it on motion-heavy shots.
Kling 3 Standard
Kuaishou
Latest Kling family standard tier.
Kling 3 Pro
Kuaishou
Latest Kling family pro tier.
Kling 3 (4K)
Kuaishou
The 4K tier of the Kling 3 family, on its own endpoint. Reach for it when the deliverable needs 4K out of the visualizer rather than an upscale afterwards.
Kling o3 Pro
Kuaishou
Available for both image-to-video and video-to-video. Takes up to eight reference images named in the prompt. Reach for it when a video shot has to honor specific reference imagery.
Omni Flash
Available for both image-to-video and video-to-video, with generated audio and an optional end frame on the image-to-video path. Takes up to eight reference images. Video-to-video sources are capped at 10 seconds.
Luma Ray 3.14
Luma
Available for both image-to-video and video-to-video. Honors authored 3D structure strictly, so it is the reach when your shot has animated meshes, splined cameras, or specific motion the model should follow rather than reinterpret. Video-to-video sources are capped at 18 seconds.
Luma Ray 3.2
Luma
Video-to-video model. Takes an existing video as input and reskins or extends it while respecting the source motion. Higher fidelity; use when output quality matters more than cost. Video-to-video sources are capped at 18 seconds.
Runway Gen 4.5
Runway
Alternative video model. Different tonal register than Kling and Veo; useful for stylistic variation.
Seedance 2.0
ByteDance
Available for both image-to-video and video-to-video. Motion-strong with first-and-last-frame support and up to seven reference images. Strong for photorealistic, faithful output – a good reach for technical or aerospace work where the render needs to stay true to the source.
Video-to-video sources have a duration ceiling that varies by model. Ray 3.2 and Ray 3.14 accept up to 18 seconds, Seedance 2.0 and Kling o3 Pro up to 15, Omni Flash up to 10. A source longer than the selected model's ceiling is blocked before any credits are spent, with a dialog naming the limit.
Which AI model should I use?
Direct answers per common job:
Brand-true product hero with reference imagery
Nano Banana Pro
Strongest reference-image conditioning. Holds character and product across shots.
Photoreal still with complex materials (glass, metal, fabric)
Flux Pro Kontext
Best surface fidelity. Disciplined about reference images.
In-image text rendering matters (signage, packaging)
Flux2 Pro
Cleanest text generation in the working set.
Stylized illustration or graphic look
Nano Banana 2
Sharper on stylized treatments. Reward specificity in the prompt.
Atmospheric long-take video, naturalistic motion
Veo 3.1
Wide latitude. Slow but the best for ambient mood.
Action-heavy video with motion
Kling 2.6 Pro
Action-shot strong. The chase-and-vehicle workhorse.
Authored 3D motion needs to be honored exactly
Luma Ray 3.14
Honors keyframed and splined motion most strictly.
Composition has to survive the render intact
Seedream 5 Pro
Holds the framing you built harder than the rest of the image working set.
First-and-last-frame video interpolation
Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6 Pro or later, Seedance 2.0, or Omni Flash
These model families support end frames. See First and last frame.
Video shot that has to follow specific reference imagery
Omni Flash, Kling o3 Pro, or Seedance 2.0
These carry reference images into video prompts. See Generate video.
Video with generated audio
Omni Flash or Veo 3.1
Both generate a synchronized audio track. Audio adds cost on top of the render.
4K video straight out of the visualizer
Kling 3 (4K) or Luma Ray 3.14
The two 4K paths in the working set. See Resolution and cost.
Video-to-video (restyle or extend an existing clip)
Luma Ray 3.2, Luma Ray 3.14, Omni Flash, Kling o3 Pro, or Seedance 2.0
Supply a source video; the model reskins or extends it. Ray 3.2 for final quality, Ray 3.14 for iteration.
Fast iteration on a video composition
Kling 2.5 Turbo or Veo 3.1 Fast
Seconds-tier feedback.
Nano Banana Pro vs Flux Pro Kontext
The two most-asked-about image models. Both are reference-image-disciplined; they differ in what they're tuned to honor.
Reference fidelity
Cinematic; consistent across shots
Photographic; consistent within a shot
Material rendering
Strong on warm tones, skin, fabric
Strongest on glass, metal, complex surfaces
Best for
Hero shot with character or product references
Hero shot with material-heavy products
Cost tier
Standard
Standard
Default reach when both fit
Cross-shot consistency wins
Single-shot material accuracy wins
For a campaign that needs multiple shots of the same product, Nano Banana Pro. For a one-shot hero of a watch, Flux Pro Kontext. For both at once, render the multi-shot story on Nano Banana Pro and the watch macro on Flux Pro Kontext.
What to do past the first pass
The answer is always "test against your specific shot". Different models honor different prompt languages differently; what reads cleanly on Nano Banana 2 may flatten on Flux2 Pro and vice versa. Burn 1K iterations comparing before committing video credits.
When models change
The model list churns. Providers ship new versions, sometimes retire older ones, occasionally pull capabilities out of free or lower tiers. The visualizer's dropdown is authoritative for what's currently available; this page tracks the names and the rough heuristics.
If a model you've been using disappears from the dropdown, the most likely reason is the provider deprecated it.
You don't have to hunt for the replacement yourself. When a saved shot points at a model the working set doesn't carry, regeneration routes to a configured successor and an in-app banner names the substitution before the render runs.
The same banner appears when a team admin has restricted the model you picked. Read the banner: the shot you get back came from a different model than the one stored on the shot, so the look can shift. If it matters, pick the successor deliberately and re-render.
Models the visualizer routes away from, and where they land:
Kling 2.0 Master
Kling 3 Pro
Kling 2.1 Standard
Kling 3 Standard
Kling 2.1 Pro
Kling 3 Pro
Kling 2.1 Master
Kling 3 Pro
Luma Ray 3
Luma Ray 3.14
Luma Ray 2
Luma Ray 3.14
Luma Ray 2 Flash
Luma Ray 3.14
Older names you may see in transcripts
Some YouTube tutorials and webinar talks reference earlier model names. The mapping:
Kling 2.6 in the older transcripts is now Kling 2.6 Pro.
Kling 2.0 and Kling 2.1 in either the Standard, Pro, or Master tier map to the Kling 3 family.
Luma Ray 3, Ray 2, and Ray 2 Flash map to Luma Ray 3.14.
Seedance 2.0 Motion Guide is the video-to-video path of Seedance 2.0.
Flux 1 Depth (referenced in summit talk) is superseded by Flux Pro Kontext for general use.
Flex (mentioned in passing) was an older naming; see Flux Pro Kontext or Flux2 Pro for the current Black Forest Labs lineup.
Use the current names everywhere in your work. The older names will still appear in older tutorial videos until the team re-records.

Provider documentation
Each provider has its own deeper docs for what their models can and cannot do at the system-prompt level:
Black Forest Labs Flux: bfl.ai
Google Veo: aistudio.google.com/models/veo-3
Kuaishou Kling: kling.ai
Luma Ray / Agents: lumalabs.ai/ray
Runway: runwayml.com
Most users won't need the provider docs; the visualizer abstracts away most provider-specific syntax. For specialized model behaviors not exposed in Intangible's UI, the provider docs are the next stop.
