5 parameters · 2 required · 3 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | Required | URL of the input 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. |
resolution | string | Optional | Resolution of the generated video (580p or 720p). · Options: 720p · Default: "720p" 720p |
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 |
Output Schema
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Unique identifier for the generation task |
status | string | Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout |
model | string | Model used for the generation |
outputs | array | Array of output items |
outputs[].url | string | URL of the generated artifact |
outputs[].content_type | string | MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4) |
error | object | null | Error details if failed, null on success |

error.message | string | Human-readable error description |
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
outputsfrom the completed response

Wan 2.2 5B Image to Video
Wan 2.2 5B Image to Video is the Wan 2.2 workflow for image-anchored animation. 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 image-anchored animation. 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
- 2.2 Reference-frame animation. Uses the supplied still as the visual foundation for motion.
- 2.2 Subject identity retention. Keeps important appearance cues recognizable as the scene develops.
- 2.2 Natural temporal movement. Creates coherent subject and environmental dynamics across frames.
- 2.2 Prompt-directed cinematography. Interprets action, camera movement, pacing, lighting, and atmosphere.
Pricing
| Configuration | Billing unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base generation | Per request | $0.15 |
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",
"image": "https://example.com/reference.png",
"seed": 1,
"resolution": "720p",
"aspect_ratio": "21:9"
