5 parameters · 1 required · 4 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. |
seed | integer | Optional | Random seed for reproducibility. If None, a random seed is chosen. |
video | string | Optional | URL of the input video. |
use_turbo | boolean | Optional | If true, applies quality enhancement for faster generation with improved quality. When enabled, parameters are automatically optimized for best results. · Default: false |
resolution | string | Optional | Resolution of the generated video (480p, 580p, or 720p). · Options: 480p, 720p · Default: "480p" 480p720p |
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 |

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 Animate Move
Wan 2.2 Animate Move makes a character from a reference image perform the motion and expression found in a driving video. The source image defines who appears in the output, while the video contributes timing, body movement, and facial performance without requiring the original scene to remain visible.
The Wan-Animate workflow supports pose retargeting when the driver and reference character have different body proportions, helping motion fit a new silhouette. Temporal guidance connects generated segments so longer performances maintain continuity instead of looking like isolated frame-by-frame transfers.
Highlights
Holistic performance transfer. Reproduces body movement and facial expression together from the driving material.
Reference-character identity. Keeps the supplied character image as the visual identity of the animated performer.
Pose retargeting. Can adapt extracted motion when driver and character proportions differ.
Temporal continuity. Uses guidance between generated segments to keep motion and appearance connected across the clip.
Pricing
| Resolution | Price |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.040 per second |
| 720p | $0.080 per second |
When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
