Common Questions

Frequently asked

How do I use multiple reference images?

Upload 2–9 images in images_list and reference them in your prompt using @image1, @image2, etc. The model uses them as visual references for character and style consistency.

Can I control the end frame?

Not with the I2V endpoint. Use the Omni Reference endpoint for full first/last frame control via reference images and video clips.

What image formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Maximum file size 30MB per image.

What is the maximum prompt length?

Prompts can be up to 20000 characters.

Does high_bitrate increase cost?

No. High bitrate mode changes output encoding quality but does not affect the per-second generation cost.
