The Video Gap

Atlas Cloud is image-only. If you need AI video generation, you'll need a separate provider. CreativeAPI includes 5 video models:

Kling V3

Best for motion quality. $0.15/5s video.

Veo 3.1 Lite

Fast generation, great for batch. $0.15/5s.

Seedance Pro

ByteDance's model. $0.30/5s video.

Hidden cost: Using Atlas Cloud for images + separate video provider = 2 API integrations, 2 billing systems, 2 webhook handlers. CreativeAPI = 1 integration.
