FAQ

Currently, Wan 2.1 and Kling are tied for the best realistic movement. They utilize advanced 3D-aware training data that prevents "rubbery" limbs and unnatural physics often seen in older AI video models.

Real-ESRGAN Video is the best tool for this. It is specifically designed for "Super-Resolution," meaning it adds detail where there was none, effectively sharpening and upscaling the video.

WaveSpeed offers a free trial tier that allows you to test these top models. However, high-end video generation is compute-intensive, so sustained use requires a paid plan or credit purchase.

Yes. Most models hosted on WaveSpeed, including Wan and Stable Video Diffusion, allow for commercial use of the generated assets. Always check the specific model license card in our dashboard.

No. All processing happens on WaveSpeed's cloud GPUs. You can use the "Best Video Tool" from a standard laptop or even a mobile phone via our web interface or API.
