Optional End-Frame Direction: Add an ending image when the workflow needs a more controlled transition between two visual states.
-
Prompt-Guided Motion: Describe subject movement, camera behavior, timing, and atmosphere in natural language.
-
Composition Preservation: Keep the important subject, style, and spatial relationships from the source image while introducing motion.
-
Flexible Output Controls: Select the available duration, resolution, and aspect-ratio options for social, product, and cinematic delivery.
-
Task-Based API Integration: Create generation tasks, monitor progress, and retrieve finished video assets from an application workflow.
