Pick an AI video model by the input you have: photo, clip, audio, none
Match the Sume video row to your input: nothing gets Wan 3.0 or Omni, a photo gets a first-frame row, a clip gets Omni edit or Recast. Read 2026-10-13.
Start from what you hold. With nothing but text, use wan-3.0, seedance-2.5, gemini-omni-flash-1.1 or sume/auto. With one photo, use a first-frame row. With a clip you want changed, use an edit row. With several photos of one subject, use a reference row.
Input to row
The table lists the rows the docs name for each input.
| You have | Use |
|---|---|
| Text only | wan-3.0, seedance-2.5, Omni, H3, sume/auto |
| One photo as the first frame | kling-3, wan-3.0, Seedance, H3, Omni, grok-imagine-video-1.5 |
| Start and end photo | kling-3, wan-3.0, Seedance, H3, Omni |
| Many photos of one subject | wan-3.0, H3, Omni, Seedance |
| A clip to edit | Omni edit, h3-max-recast, higgsfield-genjutsu, hailuo-h3-regen |
| Audio to follow | Wan 3.0, H3 rows, Seedance rows (reference audio) |
Notes
grok-imagine-video-1.5 is image-to-video only on Sume, so it needs a photo. Omni takes no reference audio. If your input is a still plus a voice track and you want the person to speak, see the lip-sync post.
