Wan 2.1 V2V 480p LoRA API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!WAN 2.1 V2V 480p LoRA generates unlimited 480p video-to-video edits with custom LoRA support for tailored styles. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Wan 2.1 V2V 480p LoRA is a video-to-video model designed for prompt-guided edits while preserving the original motion and timing of an input video. Upload a source video, describe what should change, and tune the edit strength to control how closely the output follows the original footage. It supports up to 3 LoRAs to enforce a consistent style, character look, or branded aesthetic across the transformed clip.
Key capabilities
- Video-to-video transformation anchored to an input video (480p output)
- Prompt-guided edits while keeping motion continuity and pacing
- Strength control to balance preservation vs. transformation
- LoRA support (up to 3) for stable style/identity steering
- Fine control over motion behavior via flow_shift
Use cases
- Restyle a video while preserving the original motion (cinematic, anime, illustration looks)
- Apply a “house style” consistently across multiple clips using LoRAs
- Enhance mood and lighting (golden hour, noir, neon) without re-animating motion
- Brand-safe content refresh: keep composition, change textures/colors/details
- Creative remixing for social clips and rapid iteration
Pricing
| Duration | Price per video |
|---|---|
| 5s | $0.20 |
| 10s | $0.30 |
Inputs
- video (required): source video to transform
- prompt (required): what to change and how the result should look
- negative_prompt (optional): what to avoid (artifacts, jitter, unwanted elements)
- loras (optional): up to 3 LoRA items for style/identity steering
Parameters
- num_inference_steps: sampling steps
- duration: output duration (seconds)
- strength: how strongly to transform the input video (lower = preserve more; higher = change more)
- guidance_scale: prompt adherence strength
- flow_shift: motion/flow behavior tuning
- seed: random seed (-1 for random; fixed for reproducible results)
LoRA (up to 3 items):
-
loras: list of LoRA entries (max 3)
-
path: owner/model-name or a direct.safetensors URL
-
scale: LoRA strength
Prompting guide (V2V)
To get stable edits, write prompts that separate “preserve” from “change”:
Template: Keep the same camera motion and timing from the input video. Change [style/lighting/wardrobe/environment]. Keep faces natural and consistent. Avoid flicker and warping.
Example prompts
- Keep the original motion and composition. Make the video candid and cinematic with warm sunlight, natural skin texture, gentle film grain, and soft depth of field.
- Preserve timing and camera movement. Restyle the scene into a clean anime look with crisp edges and consistent shading, no flicker.
- Keep the same scene and people. Change the color grade to sunset golden hour, add subtle lens flare, maintain realistic shadows.
