API README

Wan 2.1 VACE Depth

Wan 2.1 VACE Depth is a Wan-family route for depth-guided video generation. 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 depth-guided video generation. 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

Depth-conditioned geometry. Uses a depth sequence to preserve spatial structure and three-dimensional relationships.
Controlled scene re-rendering. Changes appearance while following the supplied geometry over time.
Temporal structural consistency. Keeps the depth-guided layout stable across consecutive frames.
Prompt-directed finish. Uses written direction for subjects, materials, lighting, and atmosphere around the structural condition.

Pricing

Resolution	Billing unit	Price
auto	Per generated second	$0.040
240p	Per generated second	$0.040
360p	Per generated second	$0.040
480p	Per generated second	$0.040
720p	Per generated second	$0.080

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.

{
  "prompt": "A precisely directed composition with explicit subject, transformation, camera or viewpoint, lighting, material, and preservation requirements",
  "seed": 1,
  "video": "https://example.com/source.mp4",
  "resolution": "auto"
}

Her vibrant summer dress, a flowing emerald green with delicate white floral embroidery, billows slightly in the gentle breeze.  She carries a stylish, woven straw bag, its natural tan contrasting beautifully with the dress. The dress's fabric shimmers subtly, catching the light. The white embroidery is intricate, each tiny flower meticulously detailed.  Her expression is focused, yet relaxed, radiating self-assuredness. Her auburn hair, partially pulled back in a loose braid, catches the sunlight, creating warm highlights. The street itself is paved with warm, grey cobblestones, reflecting the bright sun. The mood is optimistic and serene, emphasizing the woman's independence and carefree spirit. High resolution 4k",
