HunyuanVideo-1.5 Image-to-Video
HunyuanVideo-1.5 is Tencent’s lightweight, state-of-the-art video generation model. The image-to-video variant on WaveSpeedAI lets you animate a single still image into a smooth, cinematic clip guided by your text prompt, while keeping the original visual style and character identity stable.
Key features
- High-quality image-to-video generation with strong motion coherence
- Lightweight 8.3B-parameter design for fast inference
- Multiple resolutions: 480p, 720p
- Video durations: 5 s, 8 s, and 10 s
Limits and performance
- Input: single image (any reasonable resolution; automatically resized/preprocessed)
- Output: short video clip at selected resolution, duration, and aspect ratio
- Recommended duration: up to 10 seconds per clip
- Best performance with clear, well-lit images and a prompt that specifies motion, camera behavior, and mood
Pricing
| Resolution | Price per second |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.02 / s |
| 720p | $0.04 / s |
How to use
- Upload your input image (this becomes the starting frame of the video).
- Enter a prompt describing the motion, camera movement, environment changes, and overall mood.
- Choose the resolution: 480p, 720p.
- Select the aspect ratio (16:9 for landscape or 9:16 for vertical/mobile).
- Choose the duration: 5, 8, or 10 seconds.
- Optionally set the seed for reproducibility.
- Run the job and wait for processing.
- Preview the generated video and download it from the WaveSpeedAI dashboard.
Tips for best results
- Use a clean, high-resolution input image; avoid heavy compression and motion blur.
- In the prompt, specify both what moves (hair, clothes, camera, background elements) and what stays stable (character pose, framing).
- Mention camera behavior explicitly (e.g., “slow push-in,” “handheld shake,” “static camera with subtle parallax”).
- Shorter durations (5–8 s) tend to produce the most coherent motion for complex scenes.
- For a series of related clips, reuse the same seed and similar prompts to keep style and identity consistent.
Notes
HunyuanVideo-1.5 I2V is ideal for creators who want fast, controllable animation from still images without heavyweight hardware. It can be combined with high-end image models on WaveSpeedAI (such as Nano Banana Pro or Seedream v4) for a full pipeline: generate a keyframe with an image model, then bring it to life with HunyuanVideo.
