Krea AI — Video generation¶

Development line: organization:krea-ai · thread video-generation

What it is¶

Krea AI is a browser-based toolkit for designers and video teams that generates, edits, enhances, and animates images and video, and trains reusable styles.

• Image and Video: choose its own Krea 2 or a third-party model for the task.
• Realtime: use a canvas with live generation from text, drawing, a webcam, or the screen.
• Edit, Enhancer, and Train: make local edits, upscale images, and train a LoRA for a style, character, or product.

Documentation for an ordinary video render lists 5–12 seconds, 1–10 minutes, and from 1 000 compute credits.

Krea is a workspace for comparing models and iterating quickly on visuals. Before a specific task, check the model choice, credit limits, and Stage status.

Development line¶

• 2025-04-16 — Krea AI surfaced a video experience with an OL Flux identifier. On 2025-04-16, a dated Krea AI link pointed to its video experience, with URL parameters identifying an OL Flux variant. This is a material step in Krea AI's video-generation development line. The links do not establish the capability details, availability, or launch wording.
• 2025-04-18 — Krea AI linked to its Stage product surface. On 2025-04-18, a dated Krea AI link pointed to the company's Stage product path. This is a material step in the video-generation line because it identifies a distinct product surface. The links do not establish Stage's feature set, availability, or whether that date marked its launch.
• 2025-08-29 — Krea AI published an announcement for Realtime Video. On 2025-08-29, Krea AI published a blog page whose URL identifies an announcement for Realtime Video. This is a material development in the company's video-generation line. The links do not establish its operating model, rollout terms, or feature details.

What changed¶

Krea AI moved from separate Video and Stage surfaces to a toolkit with its own model and a controllable realtime workflow.

• 2025-04-16: Video was documented, but the exact release cannot be recovered from the old URL with the ol_flux parameter because it now leads to a changing interface.
• 2025-04-18: Stage offered an experimental 3D-scene workflow: create a scene from text, add and move objects, and export glTF. Confirmation of the details is secondary because the historical specification is unavailable at the original URL.
• 2025-08-29: Realtime Video added generation faster than playback, with a canvas, text, webcam, and screen capture. The initial announcement is dated 2025-08-27.
• 2025-10-20: Krea released Realtime 14B, an autoregressive model for long-form realtime video. The company claimed 11 fps on one B200 and first frames in about one second.
• 2026-05-12 and 2026-05-21: Krea 2 became its own foundation image model, followed by beta LoRA training for Max and Business.
• 2026-09-04: Current documentation describes Krea as a toolkit of Image, Video, Realtime, Edit, Enhancer, and Train rather than one generator.

How to use this¶

From 2025-08-29, practitioners evaluating Krea AI should include its Realtime Video surface in workflow comparisons and independently verify current access, behavior, and capabilities.

1. Open Krea and choose Image or Video for a standard render. Use Realtime when the composition needs live direction.
   — Krea guide
2. In Video, choose a model, set the prompt, aspect ratio, duration, and resolution, and add start and end frames if needed.
   — Video Models
3. In Realtime, enter a prompt, then draw, move figures, upload a reference, or provide a webcam or screen feed. Choose Image or Video as the output.
   — Realtime
4. For a repeatable style, character, or product, open Train. Upload at least three images, choose Krea 2 Medium or Large, check the captions, and connect the finished LoRA in Image.

5. To change one area, open Edit. Select it with a rectangle, brush, or auto-selection, and describe the replacement. Continue the edit history step by step.
   — Krea Edit

Best practices¶

• Compare several models with the same prompt. Choose based on the required motion, control, and character retention, not the model name.
  — Video Models
• Start with 5–10-second, lower-cost tests; increase duration and resolution only after choosing a direction.
  — Video Models
• Describe the action and camera movement explicitly. Use start and end frames, and assemble complex scenes from separate frames first.
  — Video Models
• Use Realtime for composition and quick tests. Use ordinary Image when you need a deliberate prompt-first render without drawing.
  — Realtime
• For LoRA, keep the first dataset narrow but varied in angles, lighting, and background. Check captions by hand, and do not raise the step count without a reason.

Superseded by this¶

• 2025-04-16 — The conclusion recommending a video model from the old ol_flux parameter is outdated. Choose the model in the current picker and check it with the same test.
• 2025-04-18 — The instruction to treat Stage as a documented standalone entry point is outdated. Its historical specification is no longer available at the original URL, so the old workflow needs to be checked again.
• 2025-08-29 — Treating the Realtime Video announcement as the function's final state is outdated. It developed into Realtime 14B on 2025-10-20 and the current canvas-based Realtime workflow.

Still unknown¶

• The exact 2025-04-16 product release is unconfirmed. The Video URL remains, but its historical contents and the meaning of the ol_flux parameter are unavailable.
• Stage is confirmed as a separate experimental 3D tool in April 2025, but it is unclear whether it was later renamed, moved, or closed. The current /stage page does not provide a readable specification.
• The three dates belong to one company but different product surfaces—Video, Stage, and Realtime. They are not three independent companies, but Stage's fate remains unclear.
• The current primary materials are inconsistent: the overview page still names Krea 1 as the main model, while the 2026 releases position Krea 2 as its own foundation model.
• Access to models, plans, credits, and regional restrictions was not checked for a specific account. The figures in the documentation are a guide, not a guarantee of the applicable plan.
