Input

Prompt(string)

The text prompt to guide video generation. For pose task, the prompt should describe the desired pose and action of the subject in the video.

Aspect Ratio(string)

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.

Video URL(string)

URL to the source video file. Required for pose task.

Resolution(string)

Resolution of the generated video. Allowed values: auto, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p.

API README

Wan 2.1 VACE Pose

Wan 2.1 VACE Pose is a Wan-family route for pose-controlled 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 pose-controlled 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

Pose-guided movement. Uses a pose sequence to direct body position and action over time.
Motion transfer. Carries articulated movement into a newly rendered subject or scene.
Temporal anatomy consistency. Maintains recognizable body structure across the controlled sequence.
Appearance freedom. Allows style, clothing, lighting, and environment to change around the pose 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"
}
