Round 2 · checks done, blind panel grading7 models · 3 products · 10 s vertical adsBy Fobell FanTested 31 Oct 2026 on Higgsfield, graded blind 1 Nov 2026

The short answer

Every model kept the products intact, so the differences come down to the on-screen text and the camera move. Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash was the only model to pass every check on all three ads. Kling 4.0 ran the English words together on two of three ("Glowin7days", "RUNLIGHTER"). Chinese was easier than English this time: all seven rendered 新品上市 correctly. Prices run from 17.5 credits per ad for Wan 3.0 to 70 for Seedance 2.5.

Results

One attempt per model per ad, no retries. An ad passes when the product and its label are unchanged, the requested words appear exactly as written, and the camera does what the brief asks. An ad with a small slip still counts as usable when we work out the cost.

Facial oil, premium skincare ad

Prompt10-second vertical premium skincare ad. Slow camera push-in toward the facial oil bottle as a single drop of golden oil runs down the glass and light sweeps across the label. In the last three seconds, the words "Glow in 7 days" appear in elegant white letters in the empty space above the bottle. The bottle, logo and label stay exactly the same throughout. No other text, no people.

Running shoe, sports ad

Prompt10-second vertical sports ad. The camera slowly orbits halfway around the running shoe on the track as sunrise light flares behind it and a little dust lifts from the track. In the last three seconds, the words "RUN LIGHTER" appear in bold white capital letters in the sky above the shoe. The shoe and logo stay exactly the same throughout. No other text, no people.

Snack bag, Chinese snack ad

Prompt10-second vertical snack ad. Crisps burst out from behind the snack bag and tumble through the air in slow motion while the camera gently pushes in. In the last three seconds, the Chinese words "新品上市" appear in large bold red characters above the bag. The bag, logo and every word on it stay exactly the same throughout. No other text, no people.

How we tested

Three products from our Reference Kit: a facial oil bottle, a running shoe and a Chinese snack bag. For each, we made one 9:16 start frame with the product in a simple ad setting, then gave every model that same frame and the same prompt: a 10-second move, with a short line of text appearing in the last three seconds (English for the oil and the shoe, Chinese for the snack).

All models ran image-to-video on Higgsfield on 3 Nov 2026 at 720p, 10 seconds, without audio (MiniMax H3 renders at 2K only). Higgsfield offered an effects preset for some requests; we declined it so every model was tested on its own output.
