Questions
Which AI video model should I use?
It depends on what matters most. For the lowest price, P-Video 2 Pro costs 10 credits for 10 seconds at 480p. For everyday clips with sound, P-Video 2 Pro at 720p gives the best look for the price (20 credits). For cinematic, highest-quality shots, Kling 3.0 costs 110 credits for 10 seconds at 1080p. To keep a face, character or product from your photo, MiniMax H3 takes reference images. Seedance 2.5 renders the longest single clip, up to 30 seconds.
How does the AI Model Finder work?
You describe what you want to make in your own words, in any language. An AI reads the description into a few facts: which kind of output it is, the length, format, resolution and budget. TalkPix then picks the model from its own catalogue and calculates the price from the same credit rates the studios charge, so the quote is not a guess. The button opens the studio with the model, settings and prompt filled in.
Is the price in the finder what I will pay?
The finder uses the studios' own per-second and per-image credit rates. Video is billed for the length that actually renders, so a talking photo's final charge follows the real length of the audio. Dollar amounts are shown at the $5 Mini pack's rate, the most anyone pays per credit, and at the largest pack's rate. Nothing is generated or charged until you press Generate in the studio, which shows the exact credit total first.
How much does a 10-second talking photo cost?
10 credits at 720p, about $1.00 on the $5 pack. Talking photos are 1 credit per second at 720p and 2 at 1080p, and credits never expire.
Which AI image model is best for text in images?
GPT Image: it is the strongest model on TalkPix at following long instructions and rendering readable text, from 2 credits for a draft to 12 for the highest quality.
