Overview

About this model

Wan 2.6 Spicy Image to Video turns a single still image into a bold, high-motion video clip with dramatic camera movement and vivid, high-contrast color grading. It supports optional audio-guided generation, single-shot or multi-shot framing, automatic prompt expansion for richer motion detail, and output at 720p or 1080p in 5, 10, or 15-second clips. The Spicy variant is tuned for punchier, more dynamic output than the standard Wan 2.6 image-to-video endpoint while keeping the same request shape, so switching between the two is a one-line change.

How to Use Wan 2.6 Spicy Image to Video

Upload a source image: provide a high-resolution still via image_url — this is the only required field.
Add a prompt (optional): describe the motion, camera movement, or scene you want; use negative_prompt to exclude unwanted elements.
Tune the output: choose resolution (720p or 1080p), duration (5, 10, or 15 seconds), and shot_type (single for one continuous shot, multi for a multi-shot sequence).
Optional extras: pass an audio_url to guide the generation with sound, set enable_prompt_expansion to let the model automatically enrich your prompt, or fix a seed for reproducible results.
Submit and poll: call the endpoint below, then poll GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result (or use a webhook_url) until status is completed.

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/wan2.6-image-to-video-spicy \

❓

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What does the "Spicy" variant change compared to standard Wan 2.6 Image to Video?

Spicy is tuned for bolder, higher-contrast, more dramatic motion than the standard endpoint. The request and response shapes are similar, but Spicy adds `shot_type`, `enable_prompt_expansion`, and `seed` controls not present on the standard endpoint.

Is the prompt required?

No — only `image_url` is required. `prompt` and `negative_prompt` are optional and let you steer the motion and scene more precisely.

What resolutions and durations are supported?

720p and 1080p resolutions, with 5, 10, or 15-second clip durations. Pricing scales with both resolution and duration.

Can I guide the generation with audio?

Yes — pass an `audio_url` and the model will use it to help drive the pacing and motion of the generated video.

What is `shot_type` used for?

`shot_type` controls framing: `single` produces one continuous shot, while `multi` generates a multi-shot sequence from the same source image.

How do I get consistent, reproducible output?

Set a fixed integer `seed`. Leaving it at the default `-1` produces a different random result on every call.
