Video generation

Alibaba Cloud Model Studio provides video generation models for general-purpose creation (text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, video editing) and vertical scenarios (digital human lip-syncing, image-to-action, video character swapping, emoji creation).

Videos generated on the Online Experience page of the Model Studio console always carry a watermark: the text "AI generated" in the lower-right corner of the video. Because of legal compliance requirements, this watermark cannot be turned off from the console UI. To obtain videos without a watermark, call the Wan video generation models through the DashScope API, where the watermark parameter defaults to false (no watermark added). For more information, see Wan 2.7 text-to-video API reference and Wan 2.7 image-to-video API reference.

Model selection

  • General video generation
  • Digital human lip-syncing: Animates static photos to speak, sing, or narrate --- background stays fixed while the face, head, and body move.
    • For the most natural results, including facial expressions, head, and body movements, use Wan - digital human. This model replaces EMO.
    • For videos longer than 20 seconds with simple head movements, such as news reports, use LivePortrait.
  • Video motion transfer : This feature keeps the background of the photo static and animates the person using motion from a reference video. Use Wan - image-to-action.
  • Video character swapping : This feature replaces the person in a video with a person from an image while keeping the original background. Use Wan - video character swap.
  • Dance replacement: Replaces the dancer in a video with a person from an image. For best quality, use Wan - image-to-action and Wan - video character swapping. If budget is limited, use AnimateAnyone.
  • Video lip replacement: This feature replaces the lip movements in an existing video to match new audio. Use VideoRetalk.
  • Emoji creation: This feature creates emojis using fixed-style templates. Use Emoji.
  • Video redrawing: To use fixed-style templates, use Video style transform. To describe styles freely using prompts, use Wan - video editing.
  • Video editing: For all the following tasks, use Wan - general video editing.
    • Local video editing: Replace elements such as subjects or clothing, or remove bystanders.
    • Video extension: Extend short videos, for example, from 1 second to 5 seconds.
    • Video frame expansion: Convert landscape videos to portrait mode or fill in missing borders.
    • Multi-image reference generation: Fuse background and subject images to create a video.

Shot from a low angle, in a medium close-up, with warm tones, mixed lighting (the practical light from the desk lamp blends with the overcast light from the window), side lighting, and a central composition. In a classic detective office, wooden bookshelves are filled with old case files and ashtrays. A green desk lamp illuminates a case file spread out in the center of the desk. A fox, wearing a dark brown trench coat and a light gray fedora, sits in a leather chair, its fur crimson, its tail resting lightly on the edge, its fingers slowly turning yellowed pages. Outside, a steady drizzle falls beneath a blue sky, streaking the glass with meandering streaks. It slowly raises its head, its ears twitching slightly, its amber eyes gazing directly at the camera, its mouth clearly moving as it speaks in a smooth, cynical voice: 'The case was cold, colder than a fish in winter. But every chicken has its secrets, and I, for one, intended to find them '.
