Choose an AI video model by the asset you already have: Sume ids

Pick the video model from the asset you already hold. A single photo goes to an image-to-video row such as wan-3.0, minimax-h3 or kling-3. A start and end frame pair works on rows with end-frame support. Several product shots need a reference row. A voice track needs a row that accepts audio references. A driving clip with a photo goes to Kling Motion Control, and a finished video to edit goes to gemini-omni-flash-1.1.

This follows Sume's catalog capabilities, which you can read live from the Video Router; it is a map of what is accepted, not a quality ranking.

The map

Capabilities come from the catalog rows checked on 2026-10-04. A row can be accepted and still be the wrong style for your brand, so test one short clip first.

Three common choices

Most buyers fall into one of these cases, and each has a known limit on Sume.

• Ad with several product photos: wan-3.0 takes 10 images, 5 videos and 5 audio files; the MiniMax rows take 9, 3 and 3.
• Short social loop from one photo: minimax-h3 takes 5 to 15 seconds at native 480p or 768p; compare per-second list prices in the catalog before choosing.
• Fix one shot in a clip: gemini-omni-flash-1.1 edit, with the source framing kept and no aspect ratio to set.

Check the live row

Because rows change, ask the catalog for the flags instead of copying this table. This prints every row that accepts reference audio.

import os
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.sume.com/v1/video-router/models",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['SUME_API_KEY']}"},
    timeout=30,
)
r.raise_for_status()
for row in r.json()["data"]["models"]:
    if row.get("capabilities", {}).get("reference_audios"):
        print(row["id"])

Where each row is documented

The Video Router page covers the explicit catalog and its limits, and Video generation covers the OpenRouter-compatible /v1/videos route over the same catalog. For Kling Motion Control from an agent, the hosted tool is kling-motion-control_create on the MCP tools page.
