| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | Required | URL of the starting image. If the input image does not match the chosen aspect ratio, it is resized and center cropped. |
prompt | string | Required | The text prompt to guide video generation. |
seed | integer | Optional | Random seed for reproducibility. If None, a random seed is chosen. |
end_image | string | Optional | URL of the ending image. If the input image does not match the chosen aspect ratio, it is resized and center cropped. |
resolution | string | Optional | Resolution of the generated video (480p or 720p). 480p is 0.5 billing units, and 720p is 1 billing unit. · Options: 480p, 720p · Default: "720p" 480p720p |
guide_scale | number | Optional | Classifier-free guidance scale. Higher values give better adherence to the prompt but may decrease quality. · Min: 1 · Max: 10 · Default: 5 |
aspect_ratio | string | Optional | The aspect ratio of the generated image. · Options: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 21:916:93:24:35:41:14:53:42:39:16 |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read

Wan-2.1 First-Last-Frame-to-Video
Wan-2.1 First-Last-Frame-to-Video is a Wan-family route for first-and-last-frame video synthesis. Wan’s video-focused generative architecture models appearance and time together, so supplied references, structural conditions, masks, speech, or written scene direction can influence a coherent sequence rather than a collection of unrelated frames. This exact route concentrates that architecture on its named production task.
Use the route when the available source material and final brief specifically require first-and-last-frame video synthesis. Identify every subject or condition, explain the intended action or transformation, and describe camera behavior, pacing, environment, lighting, atmosphere, and preservation constraints. This separates creative intent from the local duration, resolution, and delivery fields documented below.
Highlights
- Endpoint-constrained storytelling. Generates the motion that connects supplied opening and closing frames.
- Transition continuity. Builds a plausible temporal path between two visual endpoints.
- Subject and scene consistency. Keeps recognizable content coherent while pose, camera, or environment evolves.
- Prompt-guided motion. Uses written action and camera direction to shape how the transition unfolds.
Pricing
| Configuration | Billing unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base generation | Per request | $0.2 |
When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The project needs this exact named workflow | The intended task belongs to another media route |
| All required reference or control media is available | Necessary assets or rights are unavailable |
| The brief can state transformation and preservation goals | Output must be deterministic at pixel or frame level |
| Supported duration, resolution, and format fit delivery | Final placement requires unsupported specifications |
| An asynchronous generated result fits production | A live frame-synchronous response is mandatory |
Prompt Guide
Identify the primary subject and every source or condition, state the intended transformation or action, then describe composition, camera or viewpoint, lighting, materials, pacing, atmosphere, and exact preservation requirements. Refer to multiple inputs in their schema order.
