Run the same brief, not two different demos
Use one concise creative brief with one subject, one action and one camera move. Keep duration, aspect ratio and creative intent identical across models, then judge only the constraints that matter for native audio.
- Use identical source media, wording, duration and aspect ratio.
- Keep the same number of attempts for both models.
- Change only syntax that is required by the target model; keep creative intent constant.
- Score each output against the workflow constraints, then compare retry-adjusted cost.
Success signals for native audio
- Dialogue, ambience and action-linked sound are temporally aligned with visible events.
- Audio instructions do not compete with one another or overwhelm the primary sound cue.
- The audiovisual transition between beats feels continuous rather than independently generated.
