Video

Generating a video from a prompt and supported media inputs.

Read as Markdown ↗

Use it for: Generating a video from a prompt and supported media inputs.

What it can do: Create from text, animate an image, transition between start/end frames, or use image/audio/video references with a compatible model.

Inputs: Connected text plus the local prompt. Media inputs depend on the model and mode: image references, start/end images, audio references, or video references. Choose the mode that matches the intended workflow.

Output: A generated video you can preview and pass to Merge Video, Smart Extractor, Extract Video Segment, Storyboard or Motion Video. A saved segment can supply a compatible Video reference input.

Video input examples

TaskHow to set it up
Text to videoEnter the action directly or connect Text
Image to videoConnect a ready image and describe its motion
Start/end framesChoose Start / end frames, fill both image cards
Image + audioChoose Text / references, fill the media cards, select an audio-reference model
Video referenceExtract a segment from a finished Video, then connect the segment in Text / references mode

Video output examples

Use a finished video in Merge Video to join clips, Smart Extractor to study motion and keyframes, or Extract Video Segment to prepare a short continuation reference.

Remember: Audio as a reference guides generation; it is not a promise to mix that exact track into the output. Put spoken words in the video prompt. Strict start/end frames and media-reference modes have different capabilities. Generate the next node explicitly after its source is ready.

Video-reference note: Dragging a full video asset directly into Video can be unavailable. Use a saved video segment and a model that supports video references. Image and audio references are separate inputs.

Watch the setup

These short demos show setup or existing results. Generation and analysis are started separately after you review the inputs and displayed price or allowance.
