Learn how to use partner models when generating videos using the Text to video or Image to video features.

When you use the Text to video and Image to video features, you have the option to choose from a variety of video models. These models include both Adobe models as well as partner models. Based on the model you selected while generating a video, you'll be presented with its specific settings and controls. 

Both the Text to video and Image to video features include the following partner models for video generation:

When you select a partner model to generate a video, you'll be prompted to confirm that you're using a model not developed by Adobe, along with other relevant information. Please review the details and select OK to start generating videos.

The Start using the partner models is open and you have the option to continue or cancel.
Review the Start using the partner models prompt and decide whether you want to begin generating videos with partner models.
