Generate AI videos on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI — a smart router across the full video-model catalog: HappyHorse 1.0 (Arena #1, native in-pass audio), Wan-AI Wan 2-7 (open weights, audio-driven lip-sync), ByteDance Seedance v2 / 1-5 / 1-0 (multi-modal cinematic), Kling 3.0 / 2-6, Google Veo 3-1, MiniMax Hailuo 2-3, ByteDance Dreamina 3-0. Covers text-to-video (t2v), image-to-video (i2v), and Veo's video-extend endpoint. The skill picks the right model for the user's intent (Arena-#1 quality, multi-shot character identity, in-pass audio, cinematic motion, fastest path, sub-15s clip, longest duration) and ships each model's documented prompting patterns plus the minimal `runcomfy run` invoke. Triggers on "generate video", "make a video", "text to video", "t2v", "image to video", "i2v", "animate", "AI video", "make X move", "video from prompt", "video from image", or any explicit ask to produce a video clip from prompt or still.

# AI Video Generation

Generate videos with the full RunComfy video-model catalog through one CLI — text-to-video, image-to-video, and Veo's video-extend. This skill picks the right model for the user's intent and ships the documented prompt patterns + the exact `runcomfy run` invoke for each.

## Pick the right model for the user's intent

### Text-to-video (t2v) — newest first

**HappyHorse 1.0** — `happyhorse/happyhorse-1-0/text-to-video` *(default)*
> Currently #1 on Artificial Analysis Video Arena. Native synchronized audio generated in-pass (no separate Foley step). Native 1080p, up to ~15s, strong multi-shot character consistency.
> Pick for: general-purpose t2v, ad creative with audio, social-media clips, multi-shot narratives.
> Avoid for: audio-driven lip-sync to a specific voiceover MP3 — use **Wan 2-7**.

**Kling 3.0 4K** — [`kling/kling-3.0/4k/text-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/kling/kling-3.0/4k/text-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Kling's latest, 4K output, strong multi-shot character identity, premium camera language.
> Pick for: hero shots, final-delivery 4K cuts, multi-shot character narratives.
> Avoid for: cost-sensitive iteration — drop to **Kling 2-6 Pro** or **Standard** i2v.

**Seedance v2 Pro** — `bytedance/seedance-v2/pro`
> ByteDance flagship — multi-modal (up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos, 3 reference audio), in-pass synchronized audio, cinematic motion refinement, lens language honored.
> Pick for: cinematic ad frames, multi-reference composition (subject + scene + audio refs), 21:9 anamorphic looks.
> Avoid for: simple "single prompt → clip" jobs — overpowered, slower.

**Seedance v2 Fast** — [`bytedance/seedance-v2/fast`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/bytedance/seedance-v2/fast?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Faster variant of Seedance v2 Pro, same multi-modal capabilities.
> Pick for: iteration on Seedance v2 compositions before locking a final on Pro.
> Avoid for: hero-shot final delivery.

**Wan 2-7** — `wan-ai/wan-2-7/text-to-video`
> Open-weights flagship, `audio_url` field for audio-driven lip-sync, pairs natively with Wan image models.
> Pick for: dialog scenes where mouth must sync to a specific voiceover file; open-weights pipeline requirement.
> Avoid for: in-pass audio generation (no MP3 input) — use **HappyHorse 1.0**.

**Kling 2-6 Pro** — [`kling/kling-2-6/pro/text-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/kling/kling-2-6/pro/text-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Previous Kling tier — still strong quality at much lower cost than 3.0 4K.
> Pick for: production at scale where 3.0 4K is too expensive.
> Avoid for: top-tier hero shots — use **Kling 3.0 4K**.

**Seedance 1-5 Pro** — [`bytedance/seedance-1-5/pro/text-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/bytedance/seedance-1-5/pro/text-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Previous Seedance generation, cheaper.
> Pick for: identity-stable batches between 1-5 generations; cost-sensitive baseline.
> Avoid for: new work — prefer **Seedance v2 Pro** or **Fast**.

### Image-to-video (i2v) — newest first

**HappyHorse 1.0 I2V** — `happyhorse/happyhorse-1-0/image-to-video` *(default)*
> Animate any still with in-pass audio described in prompt, strong identity preservation.
> Pick for: animating a generated portrait or product still, vertical social clips, voiceover-described audio.
> Avoid for: physics-accurate object motion — use **Veo 3-1**.

**Veo 3-1** — [`google-deepmind/veo-3-1/image-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/google-deepmind/veo-3-1/image-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Google's flagship — physics-respecting motion, strong object permanence ("rotates 180 degrees" = 180°), pairs with `extend-video` for longer clips.
> Pick for: product spins, physics-accurate motion, scenes where "no other motion" must hold.
> Avoid for: audio-driven dialog — use **Wan 2-7** or **HappyHorse**.

**Veo 3-1 Fast** — [`google-deepmind/veo-3-1/fast/image-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/google-deepmind/veo-3-1/fast/image-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)

> Multi-shot character identity, 4K output from a still.
> Pick for: 4K hero shots, character-narrative cuts.
> Avoid for: cost iteration — drop to Pro or Standard.

**Kling 3.0 Pro I2V** — [`kling/kling-3.0/pro/image-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/kling/kling-3.0/pro/image-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)

> Pick for: high-quality i2v at moderate cost.
> Avoid for: 4K final delivery.

**Kling 3.0 Standard I2V** — [`kling/kling-3.0/standard/image-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/kling/kling-3.0/standard/image-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
> Cheapest 3.0 i2v tier.
> Pick for: concepting / drafts on Kling 3.0.
> Avoid for: final delivery.

**Hailuo 2-3 Pro** — [`minimax/hailuo-2-3/pro/image-to-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/minimax/hailuo-2-3/pro/image-to-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)

> Older Seedance i2v generation, cheap.
> Pick for: cost-sensitive batch i2v on Seedance.

### Extend an existing video — newest first

**Veo 3-1 Extend** — [`google-deepmind/veo-3-1/extend-video`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/google-deepmind/veo-3-1/extend-video?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=ai-video-generation)
