Resolution options describe the documented endpoint. They do not establish matched visual detail. Native audio support does not measure sound quality or lip-sync accuracy.

Reference-led stories and selective edits
The strongest capability fit in this shortlist for a reference-heavy brief or a clip longer than 15 seconds. Thirty-second output and editing are documented; consistency still needs human inspection.

Multi-shot scenes with native sound
Start here when the scene needs several shots and sound in one generation. The documented 15-second ceiling gives more room than an eight-second Veo clip; it does not establish better visual quality.

Run a useful comparison of your own.
- Use the same prompt, framing and reference assets.
- Match duration and resolution when both endpoints permit it; record differences.
- Keep the first successful outputs and compare the entire clip, not one thumbnail.
- Count rerolls and usable final shots before judging value.
Our benchmark method explains why no invented realism, motion, speed or cost winner appears here.

Which model is objectively better?
We cannot establish a universal winner from documented capabilities. Choose the required workflow, then compare matched outputs on your own brief.
