Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
image	Yes	Input image to animate.
prompt	Yes	Text prompt describing the motion, camera behavior, and scene development.
size	No	Output aspect ratio preset, such as `16:9`.
resolution	No	Output resolution. Supported values: `540p`, `720p`, `1080p`.
duration	No	Output duration. Supported values: `5s`, `10s`.
reference	No	Optional reference input for additional visual guidance.

How to Use

Upload your image — provide the source image you want to animate.
Write your prompt — describe the motion, pacing, mood, and camera behavior you want.
Choose size — select the aspect ratio that fits your target format.
Choose resolution — use 540p for lower cost, 720p for balanced output, or 1080p for higher quality.
Choose duration — select either 5s or 10s.
Add references (optional) — include references if you want stronger visual direction.
Submit — run the model and download the generated video.

Example Prompt

A cinematic video of a teenage girl crossing a vast desert at sunset, dragging a small cart filled with scrap metal. She discovers a damaged robot half-buried in the sand. At first she points a tool at it cautiously, but the robot weakly raises one hand and offers her a tiny glowing flower made of metal. She slowly lowers her guard and smiles. The camera starts with a wide desert landscape, then moves into a gentle close-up of the girl and the robot. Golden sunset, blowing sand, emotional sci-fi adventure, warm and hopeful tone.

Pricing

Pricing depends on duration and resolution.

Duration	540p	720p	1080p
5s	$0.50	$1.00	$2.00
10s	$1.00	$2.00	$4.00

Billing Rules

Base price is $0.50 for a 5s video at 540p
10s costs 2× the 5s rate
720p costs 2× the 540p rate
1080p costs 4× the 540p rate
Pricing depends only on duration and resolution

Best Use Cases

Still-image animation — Turn a single image into a short motion clip.
Character shots — Animate portraits, concept characters, or key visual frames.
Story visualization — Bring illustrated scenes or concept art to life.
Social media content — Create short eye-catching videos from static assets.
Creative prototyping — Quickly test motion direction and camera ideas from one image.

Pro Tips

Use a clear, high-quality input image for better motion quality.
Be specific about motion, camera movement, and emotional tone in your prompt.
Start with 5s for faster iteration, then move to 10s when you want more scene development.
Use 540p or 720p for testing and 1080p for higher-end output.
Keep prompts focused on animation, motion, and scene progression rather than repeating static visual details already shown in the image.

Notes

image and prompt are required.
duration currently supports 5s and 10s.
Pricing depends only on the selected duration and resolution.
Reference input is optional.

Ray 3.2 Image To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/luma/ray-3.2/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Ray 3.2 Image To Video below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/luma/ray-3.2/image-to-video" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "size": "16:9",
    "resolution": "540p",
    "duration": "5s"
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("luma/ray-3.2/image-to-video", {

Ray 3.2 Image To Video API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Ray 3.2 Image To Video API?

Ray 3.2 Image To Video is a Luma model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Luma Ray 3.2 Image to Video is a fast AI image-to-video generation model that animates a source image into cinematic video guided by a text prompt, with controllable aspect ratio, resolution, duration, and optional reference images. Ready-to-use REST inference API for image animation, cinematic clips, product videos, social media content, advertising creatives, visual storytelling, and professional image-to-video workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Ray 3.2 Image To Video API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/luma/luma-ray-3.2-image-to-video.

How much does Ray 3.2 Image To Video cost per run?

Ray 3.2 Image To Video starts at $0.50 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Ray 3.2 Image To Video accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `size`, `reference`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/luma/luma-ray-3.2-image-to-video.

How do I get started with the Ray 3.2 Image To Video API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Ray 3.2 Image To Video outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Luma). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
