Video model rubric2026 criteria

Estimate from the version's published specs and reviews, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. Scored as launched (20 May 2025): 720p at 24 fps and 8-second clips (1080p and 9:16 came in Sept 2025), native dialogue, effects and ambient sound, text or text plus one image (TechCrunch); Flow's multi-image ingredients still ran on Veo 2 at launch. Google published no render time; Tom's Guide saw 8-second clips in under two minutes, which is not a maker figure, so speed is null. Realism: Tom's Guide and Android Authority praise the realism with caveats (hit-or-miss prompt reading, artifacts), TechRadar's piece is launch commentary, and AI Alleyway's July 2026 review covers the whole Flow lineup.
