Video Generation (Multi-Gateway)

Generate AI videos from text prompts. Supports multiple providers via two API gateways:

Preferred premium default — Seedance 2.0. When any premium gateway is configured (FAL_KEY → seedance_video, or HeyGen's Video Agent / Avatar Shots path), Seedance 2.0 is the preferred default for cinematic, trailer, and high-fidelity clip work. It is the only model in the fleet with single-pass native synchronized audio, multi-shot generation, director-level camera control, and lip-sync from quoted dialogue, and it ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis Elo as of early 2026. Switch off it only when the user has a specific reason (budget, provider preference, stylistic fit like VEO for photoreal landscape or Kling for specific anime look). See Layer 3 seedance-2-0 for the authoritative prompting and parameter guide.

IMPORTANT: Always use video_selector instead of calling provider tools directly. The selector handles availability checks, cost comparison, and automatic fallback, and its scoring engine already biases toward Seedance 2.0 for cinematic intent.

Authentication

Use whichever configured gateway best matches the user's available providers and cost/quality goals.

• HeyGen: Set HEYGEN_API_KEY to access the multi-model gateway.
• fal.ai: Set FAL_KEY to access Kling, MiniMax, and Veo through fal.ai.
