Model and technique applicability
Choose the technique, then the model and operation that accept its inputs. Read the result for the recorded version, quality and input form. A successful character test does not establish camera accuracy, language quality or reliable performance on another scene. Russian aliases: применимость, матрица приёмов и моделей, проверенность.
This reference covers the current connected video operations and 40 dated observations selected for character inputs, editing, style samples and camera recreation. It is not an exhaustive render benchmark. Model pages contain prompting examples, current limits and further evidence; reference roles explain which input does what.
Read the labels
Section titled “Read the labels”| Dimension | Label | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Guidance | Documented | Instructions and boundaries exist. The page itself is not a render test. |
| Studio availability | Supported | The stated operation or authoring route accepts this request. A text instruction remains an instruction, not a guaranteed camera control. |
| Studio availability | Not connected | This operation is not exposed for this model in Vini. Capabilities offered elsewhere by the model author do not change that. |
| Studio availability | Unsupported | A specific declared input or operation constraint rejects this configuration. Missing tests do not earn this label. |
| Studio availability | Unknown | The available contract does not establish the combination. Check the selected model and mode before running. |
| Observed outcome | Tested success | The recorded criterion passed in that one configuration. Other criteria and reliability remain open. |
| Observed outcome | Partial / failed / refused | The criterion was incomplete, failed, or the recorded input was refused. A refusal is not proof that the whole model lacks the capability. |
| Current outcome | Untested | No applicable current test is established here. Historical success can coexist with an untested current configuration. |
Current input means the recorded exam matches the reviewed input assembly. Historical input changed means the old input has already been replaced and its new exam is outstanding. Historical configuration keeps an older or alternative configuration visible. Not established means the observation lacks a matching current exam contract. Unknown version or quality remains unknown; it is never filled from today’s default.
Connected video operations
Section titled “Connected video operations”These cells describe the Studio contract. They do not rate the result, certify identity, or promise that every reference format is accepted. Open the model page for required frames, reference limits and explicit-selection rules. For example, a model can expose editing while a particular reference-image input is unsupported in that mode.
| Model | Reference inputs | Edit video | Extend video | Avatar (motion transfer) | Avatar (by voice) | Replace hero | Video-reference input |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Camera and effect directions
Section titled “Camera and effect directions”The 22 documented camera, pacing and effect directions can be requested as text for the current public video families. Prepare them through the scene brief or Prompt for the model and inspect the final instructions. This shared rule establishes supported prompt authoring and an untested exact model–technique outcome. It does not turn a technique into a dedicated model control.
For example, static camera, orbit and slow motion each define what to inspect. A style sample that happened to contain a moving camera does not prove a controlled orbit or static-camera test. Lighting, composition, action and timing and reveals likewise need their own observable criteria.
For any pair not listed below, the outcome is untested. Availability follows the current operation and its input constraints; where those do not answer the question, availability is unknown. Do not extrapolate a successful identity, style or editing row into a pass for another technique.
Recorded observations
Section titled “Recorded observations”Each row separates what was observed from whether that observation applies to the current input assembly. The criterion is intentionally narrow. A failed sheet experiment can remain useful even when the current connection uses individual frames. A successful old frame experiment cannot certify a newer sheet input.
Seven frame-based exams for Grok, HappyHorse, Kling, MiniMax H3 and Wan are explicitly historical because those operations now use sheets. The newer input does not inherit their success. Gemini’s weather-edit test used a source video and text only; it is not an image-reference or sheet test. The table preserves both distinctions.

Techniques that use another stage
Section titled “Techniques that use another stage”| Intended technique | Applicable Studio route | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Off-screen narration | Create a separate Voice asset, then use the audio/assembly workflow described in narration. | A video model’s dialogue ability does not certify an off-screen narrator or the finished mix. |
| Visible speech and mouth animation | Use a model’s declared speech support or a separate Lip-sync operation with prepared audio and video. | Voice pronunciation, speaking identity and mouth synchronization are separate checks. |
| Silence and sound design | Follow silence and sound design; inspect native audio and any separately assembled tracks. | “No dialogue” does not mean “no ambient sound.” A declared audio switch does not establish the generated audio’s quality. |
| Music | Create a separate asset with a Music model and review its complete track before assembly. | Music-model availability is not a video-model technique result. |
| Image style | Prepare or edit an image with an image model, inspect it, then animate it as a first frame where supported. | The two first-frame style rows listed here do not prove direct video style-reference support or all image models’ fidelity. |
| Subtitles and decoration | Use the dedicated subtitles and decoration stages. | Accidental lettering generated inside video is not an editable subtitle track. |
| Reusable style instructions | Apply a style pack or a reviewed remake brief. | Reusing instructions does not make the model’s output deterministic. |
For multiple characters and continuity, check each visible identity and transition. Single-character identity evidence does not certify a multi-character conversation or consistency across a complete film.
Use and recheck a result
Section titled “Use and recheck a result”Select one criterion, keep a record of the model, operation, quality and input form, and inspect the whole result against it. Use the MCP model and input workflow for supported automation; permission to call a tool is separate from the evidence about a model’s output.
A model version, mode, tier, input-policy or evidence change invalidates the relevant guidance until reviewed. Retain old observations with their scope instead of rewriting them as current successes. No paid renders or new visual judgments were made for this documentation pass.
Reviewed 14 October 2026 against the current Studio contracts and dated recorded visual reviews. Recheck by 14 January 2027, and sooner when the relevant contract changes.
