Text-to-video
Generate videos with audio from text prompts. We recommend happyhorse-1.1-t2v. It supports 1080P resolution and clips up to 15 seconds long.
For longer videos (up to 30s), adaptive aspect ratio, smart duration, audio toggle, and reference audio, use wan3.0-video. It supports 480P, 720P, and 1080P resolutions. The speed-optimized version wan3.0-video-prime significantly improves generation speed while maintaining high quality.
Image-to-video
Create dynamic videos from static images. For first-frame image-to-video, use happyhorse-1.1-i2v. For the Wan series, use wan3.0-video (speed-optimized: wan3.0-video-prime), which supports first-frame and first/last-frame image-to-video.
First-frame image-to-video
Generate video from a single image. We recommend happyhorse-1.1-i2v, which supports audio, 1080P, and 3 to 15 seconds.
First/last-frame stitching for long videos
Use a first/last-frame model such as wan3.0-video to stitch multiple clips together. Setting the last frame of one clip as the first frame of the next creates seamless transitions, ideal for narratives, product demos, or tutorials.
Reference image-to-video
Maintain character consistency across scenes using reference images. We recommend happyhorse-1.1-r2v. For the Wan series, use wan3.0-video (speed-optimized: wan3.0-video-prime), which supports all-in-one reference capabilities with multiple reference images, videos, and audio. It also supports file input (docx, ppt, pdf, etc.) and web links as references.
Video editing
Edit existing videos using text instructions for style transfer, element replacement, and other operations. We recommend happyhorse-1.0-video-edit. For effect replication or camera movement replication, use wan2.7-videoedit.
Character animation
Motion-driven character animation
To transfer motion from a reference video to a character in a static image, use wan2.2-animate-move. The background remains unchanged. The pro mode (wan-pro) produces results closer to live-action footage, while the standard mode (wan-std) is faster and more cost-effective.
Character replacement in video
To replace a character in a video with one from a source image, use wan2.2-animate-mix. It also supports pro and standard modes.
