# Run a branded two-model video benchmark

`POST /formats/video-model-benchmark/runs`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://blitzreels.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://blitzreels.com/api/v1/formats/video-model-benchmark/runs`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Creates a 16:9 project, sends one exact prompt to two text-to-video models, waits for both generated media assets to finish processing, and composes a muted branded split-screen comparison. The response includes aggregate estimated credits plus job and project IDs. Poll the job until terminal, then inspect the project timeline before export.
