WAN 2.1 Image-to-Video 480p — wavespeed-ai/wan-2.1/i2v-480p
wavespeed-ai/wan-2.1/i2v-480p animates a single image into a short, smooth 480p video clip with natural motion, stable framing, and strong prompt control—ideal for fast I2V iteration and lightweight production previews.
What it’s good at
- Turning a still image into a 5–10s video with coherent motion
- Subtle, natural gestures (talking-to-camera, nods, hand movement)
- Smooth camera feel (gentle push-in, slight handheld, slow pan) without over-shaking
- Quick story beats for ads, explainers, and social clips at 480p
Playground inputs
- Image (required): the source frame to animate
- Prompt (required): describe subject, action, environment, and camera
- Negative prompt (optional): reduce blur, jitter, artifacts, unwanted styles
- Size: 480p
- Duration: 5s or 10s
Prompting guide for natural I2V
Write like a director’s brief:
- Subject: who is in frame
- Action: what they do (small, realistic verbs work best)
- Environment: lighting + background
- Camera: framing + motion style
- Motion quality: smooth, natural, stable
Example prompt (talking head / business): A confident young tech professional standing in a modern office, talking to the camera with calm hand gestures. Soft daylight, clean environment, business casual outfit, focused expression. Center frame, smooth motion, natural micro-expressions.
Negative prompt suggestions: blurry, jittery, shaky camera, low quality, distorted face, warped hands, inconsistent motion
Use cases
- Product demos: bring a hero image to life with subtle motion and camera polish
- Corporate explainers: talking-to-camera clips from a portrait-style photo
- Social ads: quick 5-second motion posts for faster iteration
- Concept validation: test prompts and motion direction cheaply before higher resolutions

Notes
- For the most stable faces, keep actions subtle (talk, nod, small gestures) and avoid extreme head turns.
- If motion looks too “busy,” describe a calmer camera style (locked-off, slow push-in, gentle handheld).
- If details smear, add stronger constraints in the prompt (center frame, steady, smooth motion) and use a negative prompt that targets blur/jitter.
