Input
Video prompt. Reference images, videos and audio positionally in the prompt.
Reference image URLs (maximum 30). One image without other media animates the first frame; use reference mode to treat it as a style reference. Images outside a width-to-height ratio of 0.4–2.5 are padded without cropping when preparation succeeds. In first-frame mode, padding becomes part of the frame.
Public reference-video URLs (maximum 10; 2-30 seconds each and 30 seconds total). Their duration is probed before charging.
Reference audio URLs (maximum 10; 30 seconds total). Requires at least one reference image or video.
Runs are charged to your balance.
