Which AI video model handles a busy scene best
A crowded frame is where cheap models turn people into paste. We asked 19 of them for the same market: stalls, bunting, shoppers, a busker with a guitar and a golden retriever. The grid includes the September 18 additions; each model page dates its own run.

What the side-by-side shows
Veo 3.1 Fast gives the densest, most legible market, with individual shoppers doing recognisable things and the dog on a lead. Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 are convincing and complete, and MiniMax H3 is remarkably good for $0.30. Kling's market in both tiers has a slightly painted, plastic finish on the people and awnings. Seedance 2.5 and Wan 2.7 are handsome but sparser. Grok and Gemini both hold together at speed.
