Input
The text prompt to guide video generation.
The aspect ratio of the generated image. Allowed values: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16.
Resolution of the generated video (480p, 580p, or 720p). Allowed values: 480p, 720p.
Random seed for reproducibility. If None, a random seed is chosen.
LoRA weights to be used in the inference.

API README

Wan-2.1 Text-to-Video with LoRAs

Wan-2.1 Text-to-Video with LoRAs is the Wan 2.1 adapted workflow for prompt-led video. It models visual appearance and time together so the route’s written direction, source imagery, speech, masks, or structural conditions influence one coherent result rather than a collection of disconnected frames or a generic endpoint response.

Choose this exact route when the available assets and deliverable specifically call for prompt-led video. Identify every subject and source, state the desired action or transformation, then describe camera behavior, pacing, environment, lighting, atmosphere, and preservation requirements; local schema fields handle resolution, duration, seed, and delivery separately from the creative brief.

Highlights

  • 2.1 LoRA Written-scene filmmaking. Builds subjects, action, setting, and shot language from a text brief.
  • 2.1 LoRA Temporal motion coherence. Maintains plausible movement and interaction across consecutive frames.
  • 2.1 LoRA Cinematic camera interpretation. Responds to framing, lens behavior, camera movement, and pacing.
  • 2.1 LoRA Scene continuity. Keeps environment and subject logic connected throughout the clip. The route adds a lightweight task adaptation.

When to Use

✅ Good fit❌ Consider alternatives
The project needs this exact named workflowThe intended task belongs to another media route
All required reference or control media is availableNecessary assets or rights are unavailable
The brief can state transformation and preservation goalsOutput must be deterministic at pixel or frame level
Supported duration, resolution, and format fit deliveryFinal placement requires unsupported specifications
An asynchronous generated result fits productionA 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.

{
  "prompt": "A precisely directed composition with explicit subject, transformation, camera or viewpoint, lighting, material, and preservation requirements",
  "seed": 1,
  "loras": [],
  "resolution": "480p"
}
