Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much faster is I2V Flash compared to the standard I2V model?

    The Flash variant is engineered specifically for faster generation times. Exact speed differences vary by resolution and provider, but Flash is designed for quick-iteration use cases where the standard model's generation time is prohibitive.

  • Does the Flash model support 1080p output?

    Yes. Despite the speed optimization, I2V Flash supports 480p, 720p, and 1080p resolutions.

  • Can I include audio in the generated video?

    Optional audio accompaniment is available on the same generation pass.

  • What is the maximum clip duration?

    Generated clips can be up to 15 seconds long.

  • When should I use Flash versus the standard I2V model?

    Use Flash for drafts, iteration, and high-volume tasks. Use the standard I2V model when final visual quality matters more than turnaround time.

  • Does the Flash model require a different input format than the standard I2V?

    No. Both models accept the same inputs: a source image and a text prompt describing the desired motion.
