Step 1: Create a task and get the task ID

curl --location 'https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis' \
    -H 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' \

    "model": "wan2.7-i2v-2026-04-25",
    "input": {
        "prompt": "A man looks down at a wooden box on the ground. He bends over and carefully opens the lid. He stares at the contents of the box, his lips trembling and slightly parted. His brow is furrowed and his eyes are wide with a look of horror.",
        "media": [
            {

        "duration": 12,
        "prompt_extend": true,
        "watermark": true
    }
}'

Step 2: Retrieve the result using the task IDReplace {task_id} with the task_id value returned by the previous API call. The task_id is valid for queries for 24 hours, Replace {WorkspaceId} with your actual workspace ID.

curl -X GET https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id} \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"

Sample output

The video_url is valid for 24 hours. Download the video promptly.

    "request_id": "c1209113-8437-424f-a386-xxxxxx",
    "output": {
        "task_id": "966cebcd-dedc-4962-af88-xxxxxx",

         ...
    },
    ...
}

Usage notes

Supported models vary by region. Resources are isolated between regions. For supported models in each region, see the Model Studio console.
When making a call, make sure your model, endpoint URL, and API key all belong to the same region. Cross-region calls fail.

The sample code in this topic is for the Singapore region.

Core capabilities

First-frame video generation

Supported models: wan2.7 series models. Parameter settings: The type field in the media array supports the following two combinations. See Input assets for details on media asset combinations.

First frame: Set type to first_frame. The model automatically adds audio to the video.
First frame + audio: Set type to first_frame and driving_audio. The model uses the audio to drive video generation for features like lip-syncing and action timing.

Prompt	First frame image	Output video
An urban fantasy art scene. A dynamic graffiti art character. A boy made of spray paint comes to life from a concrete wall. He raps an English song at high speed while striking a classic, energetic rapper pose. The scene is set at night under an urban railway bridge. The light comes from a single street lamp, creating a cinematic atmosphere full of high energy and amazing detail. The audio of the video consists entirely of the rap, with no other dialogue or noise.	Input audio:

Video continuation

Supported models: wan2.7 series models. This feature continues the content of an input video clip. The output includes the original clip, and its duration counts toward the total generation time. For example, if you input a 2-second video and set the total output duration to 12 seconds, the final video will be 12 seconds long (the original 2-second clip plus a 10-second continuation). Parameter settings: The type field in the media array supports the following two combinations. See Input assets for details on media asset combinations.

First video clip: Set type to first_clip to continue the video.
First video clip + last frame continuation: Set type to first_clip and last_frame. This continues the first video clip and ensures its final frame matches the provided last frame.

Input media

Pass media assets in the media array, where each element must specify a type and a url, and each type can appear at most once in the media array.

Only the specific media combinations listed below are supported. Any other combination returns an error.

// Combination 1: First frame, with automatic dubbing
{
  "media": [
    { "type": "first_frame", "url": "https://example.com/image.jpg" }
  ]
}

// Combination 2: First frame + driving audio, with custom audio
{
  "media": [
    { "type": "first_frame", "url": "https://example.com/image.jpg" },
    { "type": "driving_audio", "url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3" }
  ]
}

Input images

Number of images: You can submit a maximum of one image each for the first frame (type=first_frame) and the last frame (type=last_frame).
Input methods:
- Public URL: Supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Example: https://xxxx/xxx.png.
- base64-encoded string: A string in the format data:{MIME_type};base64,{base64_data}, where:
  - {base64_data}: The Base64-encoded string for the image.
  - {MIME_type}: The MIME type of the image, which must match the file format.
    Format

    WEBP
    image/webp

Format	MIME type

PNG	image/png
BMP	image/bmp
WEBP	image/webp

Input audio

Number of audio files: You can provide a maximum of one audio file (type=driving_audio).
Input methods:
- Public URL: Supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Example: https://xxxx/xxx.mp3.

Input video

Number of videos: You can pass in a maximum of 1 first video clip (type=first_clip).
Input methods:
- Public URL: Supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Example: https://xxxx/xxx.mp4.

Output video

Number of videos: 1.
Output video specifications: Supported specifications vary by model. For details, see Availability.
Output video URL expiration: 24 hours.
Output video dimensions: The model determines the dimensions based on the input first frame or first video clip and the resolution setting. The model preserves the original aspect ratio of the input media. It scales the total pixel count to approximate the target set by the resolution parameter, and adjusts the width and height to be multiples of 16.

Billing and rate limit

See Model pricing for details on the free quota and pricing.
See Wan for details on the rate limit.
Billing details:
- Inputs are free. Outputs are billed based on the duration in seconds of each successfully generated video.
- Failed calls or processing errors do not incur fees or consume the free quota for new users.
- The image-to-video feature also supports Savings Plans.

API reference

Wan2.7-I2V API reference

FAQ

Q: What's new in wan2.7-i2v?

A: wan2.7-i2v introduces the following new capabilities compared to wan2.6-i2v and earlier models:

It supports three primary tasks: first-frame video generation, first-and-last-frame video generation, and video continuation. Earlier models only supported first-frame video generation.
You can pass multimodal media, such as images, audio, and videos, using the unified media array. Earlier models only supported passing images with the img_url parameter.

Q: How to create a multi-shot video?

A: Specify the shot structure in the prompt. You can use the following methods:

Direct specification: Include "generate a multi-shot video" in the prompt.
Storyboard or timestamps: Describe each shot with a time range. For example, "First shot: wide shot, a boy raps and dances" or "First shot [1-5s]: wide shot, a boy raps and dances. Second shot [6-10s]: camera cuts to the cheering audience."
If you do not explicitly specify the shot structure, the model infers it from the prompt.

Q: Why can't I set the video aspect ratio?

A: The API does not currently support setting the aspect ratio directly. Instead, you must set the resolution using the resolution parameter. The resolution parameter controls the total pixel count of the video, not a fixed aspect ratio. The model preserves the approximate original aspect ratio of the input first frame or first video clip and fine-tunes the width and height to be integer multiples of 16 for video encoding.
