結論先講
If you only read one paragraph: the September 2026 arenas have a new top tier. Wan 3.0 (#2 text-to-video) and MiniMax H3 (#3 text-to-video, #1 image-to-video) both arrived since our July snapshot and both are live on our platform — but they are new, with only a handful of production runs behind them, so we still route "keeper" clips to Seedance 2.0, now #5 on both boards and still the strongest multi-shot model in our lineup. Grok Imagine 1.5 is the value pick for animating a photo (#8 on the image-to-video arena at a fraction of anyone else's price). HappyHorse 1.1 is the one to use when your clip needs to talk — native audio and lip-sync, #8 t2v / #7 i2v. And Veo 3.1 remains the cinematic splurge. Everything below is the evidence.
Rankings snapshot: September 21, 2026, from the Artificial Analysis text-to-video and image-to-video arenas (blind user-vote Elo). Artificial Analysis rebased its Elo scale between our July and September snapshots, so the absolute numbers on this page are not comparable to the July ones — only the order is. We re-check the arenas monthly and update this page when the order changes.
我們怎麼排名:競技場投票 + 自家實測
市面上大多數「最佳 AI 影片生成器」榜單,不過是某位作者看了幾支示範影片的個人印象。我們想要一份經得起質疑的榜單,所以本頁結合了兩個更硬的資料來源。
- 競技場排名——Artificial Analysis 經營公開競技場,成千上萬名使用者針對同一提示詞的兩支生成影片進行盲測投票,產出依任務區分(文字轉影片、圖片轉影片)的 Elo 排行榜。這是業界最接近客觀品質排名的東西,也是我們在產品內做模型推薦分派所用的同一份資料。
- 自家真實生成——這些模型每一個都在 CreateVision AI 的正式環境運作。針對平價級距,我們發表過一次完整的同提示詞對決:16 支真實嵌入的輸出影片、實測實際耗時;其中幾支原封不動嵌在下文。
- 真實價格——本頁每一個成本數字,都是你今天在我們平台實際會支付的每秒積分費率,而不是行銷話術的「XX 起」。
有一點誠實揭露:這些模型的使用權全部都是我們在賣的。我們沒有偏袒任何一家的動機——哪個模型贏下競技場,哪個模型就贏下本頁。

Text-to-video is the hardest task in generative AI right now: the model has to invent subject, motion, camera and lighting from words alone. The arena order shifted hard between July and September: two models that were not on the July board now sit above the July leader.
Wan 3.0 and MiniMax H3 — the two arrivals since July (#2 and #3)
Alibaba's Wan 3.0 is #2 on the text-to-video arena (Elo 1229, two points behind Google's Gemini Omni Flash, which we do not host) and #6 on image-to-video (1164). Its headline feature is length: up to 30-second takes in one generation, with native audio and multimodal references, from 40 credits/sec at 480p (80/s at 720p, 160/s at 1080p). MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3) is #3 on text-to-video (Elo 1227) and #1 on image-to-video (1195) — the best model on the arena for animating a photo — at 55 credits/sec for 768p and 90/s for 2K, with native audio. Both are live on CreateVision AI. Both are also new to our production stack with only a handful of runs behind them, so for now we treat them as "reach for it when the brief needs 30 seconds or the very best photo animation" rather than the default; we will move our keeper-clip routing once we have reliability data.
Seedance 2.0 — the July leader, now #5 (Elo 1210)
ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 led the text-to-video arena in July; on the September board it sits #5 (Elo 1210), within 20 points of the new leaders. In our production experience its edge is still multi-shot coherence: it can hold a subject through 2–3 hard cuts inside one 10-second clip, which nothing else at this price does — and until the two newcomers above have a reliability track record, it remains where we route final clips. At 50 credits/sec it is also reasonably priced for a flagship. The Fast variant (35/s) trades some polish for speed, and Mini (15/s) is the drafting tier we route free-form experiments to.
Wan 2.7 — identity lock, now #10 (Elo 1098)
Alibaba's Wan 2.7 was the surprise #2 of the July board; on the rebased September scale the June build sits #7 (Elo 1149) and the current build #10 (1098), overtaken mostly by its own successor. Its signature trick is unchanged — reference identity lock: feed it up to 5 reference images and it keeps the same face across a 15-second multi-shot story, with native audio included. At 40 credits/sec it still undercuts most of the table, and it is the proven choice while Wan 3.0 is new.
Kling 3.0 — motion quality specialist (#12, Elo 1095)
Kuaishou's Kling 3.0 (1080p Pro tier) sits #12 on the text-to-video arena (the 720p tier is #13) but earns its place on motion: fast action, dance, sports and physical contact look more natural than on most rivals. It is per-second priced with optional sound, and the Turbo variant (55/s, silent) is the sensible default for action drafts. In our four-round budget shootout, Kling 3.0 Turbo was also the fastest generator on average.
Veo 3.1 — the cinematic option (#14, Elo 1088)
Google's Veo 3.1 sits mid-table on the arena (#14, with Veo 3.1 Fast at #15) but that undersells what it is for: film-grade lighting, lens language and dialogue-with-audio in one pass. It is the model we route explicit "cinematic / film-grade" briefs to — and at 300 credits/sec (Fast) to 640/s (Pro), it is priced like the specialist it is. Clips are capped at 4/6/8 seconds.
Also on the arena: Google's Gemini Omni Flash holds #1 (Elo 1233) but is not available on our platform, so it is absent from the tables; HappyHorse 1.1 sits #8 (1147) and is covered in the audio section; SkyReels V4 (#11, 1095) and Vidu Q3 Pro (#19, 1078) sit mid-table; Sora 2 is #17 (1083); and Seedance 1.5 Pro (#29, Elo 1000), last year's audio flagship, is now outclassed by HappyHorse 1.1 on both rank and price.

Image-to-video — animating a photo or a generated still — is where the arena order diverges sharply from marketing budgets. MiniMax H3 leads (#1, Elo 1195), with Gemini Omni Flash at #3, Seedance 2.0 at #5 and Wan 3.0 at #6 — but the best value on the board belongs to a model most lists ignore entirely.
Grok Imagine 1.5 — #8 on the arena at 5 credits/sec (Elo 1099)
xAI's Grok Imagine 1.5 is the single best value in AI video, full stop. It ranks #8 on the image-to-video arena — still above Veo 3.1 (#11), above every Kling tier (#19–20) — while costing 5 credits per second: a 10-second clip for 50 credits, when the same clip costs 500 on Seedance 2.0. It requires a source image (there is no text-to-video mode), keeps identity locked, and ships native audio. In our own image-to-video identity test it produced the fastest generation of the round (78s) with the source face intact. If you are animating photos and not paying attention to Grok, you are overpaying by an order of magnitude.
Seedance 2.0 — #5, still our keeper-clip default (Elo 1174)
No longer the arena leader, but still the safest pick for reference-driven final renders: strongest subject preservation across beats, reliable two-person interaction, and the same multi-shot coherence as its t2v side. When a clip is a keeper — a couple video, a product hero — this is where we route it, until MiniMax H3 (#1, Elo 1195) and Wan 3.0 (#6, 1164) have enough production runs behind them to earn that slot.
HappyHorse 1.1 (#7, Elo 1106) and Wan 2.7 (#12, Elo 1078) sit just behind — both are covered in the audio section below, because that is where they truly differentiate.
Hailuo 02 (MiniMax) deserves a note despite sitting outside the arena top tier: it is priced per whole clip, not per second (6s or 10s, fixed), which makes it the most predictable line item on this page — and its physics-driven motion is genuinely natural. Our budget shootout rated it the best value for clean single-shot clips.

音訊與對嘴同步模型
Most video models generate silent clips. Three proven ones generate sound natively — the September newcomers Wan 3.0 and MiniMax H3 do too, with the few-runs caveat above — and one of them is the reason we stopped recommending last year's audio flagship.
HappyHorse 1.1 — the audio default (#8 t2v · #7 i2v)
HappyHorse 1.1 generates speech, ambience and lip-sync in the same pass as the visuals, across 6 languages, at 65 credits/sec with 1080p support. It ranks #8 on the text-to-video arena and #7 on image-to-video — no longer top-3 after the September rebase, but still the model whose lip-sync we trust most. Talking characters, voiceover product clips, dialogue scenes: this is the default. It replaced Seedance 1.5 Pro (Elo 1000, 70/s) as our audio recommendation the day we checked the July arena — better ranked, cheaper, more capable — and the September re-rank did not change that call.
Wan 2.7 — audio plus identity lock
Wan 2.7 also ships native audio, and combines it with the 5-reference identity lock and 15-second multi-shot ceiling. For a narrated story where the same character must persist shot-to-shot, it is the more structural choice; for pure talking-head realism, HappyHorse's lip-sync is tighter.
Veo 3.1 (Fast and Pro) generates dialogue with audio too — at cinematic quality and cinematic prices. Use it when the brief says "film", not when it says "talk".
專門模型:動作控制與數位人
有兩個模型解決的是通用表格解決不了的問題。
Kling 3.0 Motion Control——從參考影片轉移動作
餵給它一支參考影片加一張角色圖片,它就把動作轉移到你的角色身上——舞步、鏡頭調度、打鬥走位(3–30 秒,825 積分/秒)。它是我們測過唯一達到量產等級的動作轉移模型,定價也名副其實。當動作本身就是需求時,用它。
OmniHuman 1.5——照片 + 音訊 → 會說話的人
ByteDance 的 OmniHuman 1.5 把一張照片加一段音軌(或文字轉語音)變成一支會說話、有手勢的真人影片——它是我們 AI Avatar 工作流程背後的引擎,配備橫跨 10 種語言的 60 種聲音庫。它與提示詞驅動的影片是不同類別:確定性的輸入、主持人風格的輸出,450 積分/秒。
平價之選
如果你的問題只是「花最少的錢拿到一支像樣的影片」,我們寫過一篇專門的深度評測:用完全相同的提示詞跑遍 Grok Imagine 1.5、Seedance 2.0 Mini、Kling 3.0 Turbo 與 Hailuo 02——16 次真實生成、實測速度、嵌入的輸出影片與翻車案例。
一句話總結:有來源圖片就選 Grok Imagine 1.5;純文字轉影片草稿選 Seedance 2.0 Mini(15/秒);想要每支固定價格選 Hailuo 02;生成速度重於一切時選 Kling 3.0 Turbo。
怎麼選(以及怎麼跳過選擇)
The honest answer to "which model should I use" is: it depends on the brief, and it changes monthly. This is the routing table we actually use in production:
| Your brief | Route to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Animate a photo | Grok Imagine 1.5 | Arena #8 for i2v at the lowest price on the market |
| Best possible photo animation, price second | MiniMax H3 | Arena #1 for i2v — new, few production runs yet |
| Final keeper clip, multi-shot story | Seedance 2.0 | #5 on both boards, strongest multi-shot coherence in our proven lineup |
| One long 30-second take | Wan 3.0 | Arena #2 for t2v, 30s ceiling, native audio — new, verify on your brief |
| Talking characters, voiceover | HappyHorse 1.1 | Native audio + lip-sync, #8 t2v / #7 i2v |
| Same character across many shots | Wan 2.7 | 5-reference identity lock, 15s ceiling, native audio |
| Fast action & sports | Kling 3.0 / Turbo | Best motion naturalness in its tier |
| Fixed budget per clip | Hailuo 02 | Whole-clip pricing, natural physics |
| Cinematic, film-grade | Veo 3.1 Fast / Pro | Best lens language and lighting, priced as a specialist |
| Cheap text-to-video drafts | Seedance 2.0 Mini | 15 credits/sec, good enough to iterate on |
Or skip the table entirely: our Ava agent applies exactly this routing automatically — describe the clip in plain language, and she picks the arena-ranked model, writes the timed storyboard prompt, and shows you the credit cost before anything generates.
常見問題
What is the best AI video generation model in 2026?
By blind user votes on the Artificial Analysis arenas (September 2026), Gemini Omni Flash is #1 for text-to-video and MiniMax H3 is #1 for image-to-video. Among models you can run on CreateVision AI, Wan 3.0 (#2 t2v) and MiniMax H3 (#3 t2v, #1 i2v) top the boards, with Seedance 2.0 at #5 on both — still our default for final multi-shot clips while the two newcomers build a production track record. "Best" still depends on the task: Grok Imagine 1.5 is the best value for animating photos, HappyHorse 1.1 is the best with native audio, and Veo 3.1 leads on cinematic look.
What is the cheapest AI video model that is still good?
Grok Imagine 1.5 at 5 credits/sec — but it needs a source image. For pure text-to-video, Seedance 2.0 Mini at 15 credits/sec is the drafting workhorse. Hailuo 02 charges per whole clip (not per second), which often works out cheapest for one-off 6-second clips.
Which AI video models can generate audio and lip-sync?
Three in production quality: HappyHorse 1.1 (speech + lip-sync in 6 languages, the current default), Wan 2.7 (audio plus multi-shot identity lock), and Veo 3.1 (cinematic dialogue). The September newcomers Wan 3.0 and MiniMax H3 also generate native audio, but we have too few production runs to rank their lip-sync yet. Most other models output silent video.
Where do these rankings come from?
From the public Artificial Analysis text-to-video and image-to-video arenas, where thousands of users blind-vote between two generations of the same prompt, producing an Elo leaderboard. We snapshot the arenas monthly (this page reflects the September 21, 2026 snapshot), update this page when the order changes, and use the same data to route model choices inside our product.
What happened to Sora?
OpenAI announced the deprecation of Sora consumer access in April 2026 and its API later in the year, so we no longer recommend building on it. Its niche — cinematic text-to-video — is currently better served by Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0.
