7 parameters · 1 required · 6 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Required | The text prompt to guide video generation. Optional for reframing. · Default: "" |
seed | integer | Optional | Random seed for reproducibility. If None, a random seed is chosen. |
video | string | Optional | URL to the source video file. This video will be used as a reference for the reframe task. |
resolution | string | Optional | Resolution of the generated video. · Options: auto, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p · Default: "auto" auto240p360p480p720p |
zoom_factor | number | Optional | Zoom factor for the video. When this value is greater than 0, the video will be zoomed in by this factor (in relation to the canvas size,) cutting off the edges of the video. A value of 0 means no zoom. · Min: 0 · Max: 0.9 · Default: 0 |
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 |
trim_borders | boolean | Optional | Whether to trim borders from the video. · Default: true |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an

Wan 2.1 VACE Reframe
Wan 2.1 VACE Reframe is the Wan 2.1 workflow for adaptive video reframing. 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 adaptive video reframing. 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 Subject-aware recomposition. Keeps the primary action meaningfully positioned in a new canvas.
- 2.1 Temporal framing continuity. Avoids abrupt crop movement and unstable composition between frames.
- 2.1 Generated context completion. Creates missing surroundings when the new frame exceeds the source.
- Standard VACE shot reframing. Rebuilds a conventional source clip for a different canvas while keeping its primary action composed.
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.
