Source-video transformation

Use a source video and a written direction to create a new video version.

Choose the source-video workflow when an uploaded clip provides the movement and timing you want to begin from. Add the supported video, describe the visual transformation, then inspect the generated version as a new result before reuse.

Inspect source-video motion before planning a transformation

These local motion references help identify the movement, timing, and visible details to evaluate in a source-video workflow. They are not presented as Wan outputs.

Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.

Handheld source motion

Decide whether the next version needs to retain the source camera energy.

Reference direction, not a model output

Local ImageStyle visual reference. It is not presented as a model-specific result.

Timing and route

Identify the source moment and movement path before describing the change.

Reference direction, not a model output

Local ImageStyle visual reference. It is not presented as a model-specific result.

Visible source details

List which movement, texture, and visible details matter in the new version.

What a source-video workflow helps you preserve and change

A movement-led starting point

Use an approved source clip when its movement or timing gives the next version a useful foundation.

A specific visual transformation

Explain what should change in the new version, such as scene treatment, material feeling, or overall visual direction.

A source-aware review step

Compare the result with the source clip before relying on continuity, product details, or exact visible information.

How to create a video-to-video variation

Start from an approved source clip, then keep the written transformation focused enough to make the next version easy to evaluate.

  1. 1

    Choose an approved source clip

    Upload a video you are allowed to use and confirm that its motion and timing suit the next direction.

  2. 2

    Describe the intended transformation

    State the scene, visual treatment, or material direction that should change in the new version.

  3. 3

    Use the available source-video controls

    Select the compatible model and only the duration, quality, or other controls it makes available for source-video work.

  4. 4

    Inspect the generated version

    Check that motion, timing, visible text, people, objects, and source-derived details are suitable before publishing.

Source video is guidance, not a locked copy

A source clip does not guarantee exact preservation
The generated version can change visual details, so it should not be treated as a frame-accurate edit of the uploaded clip.
Input and output limits are model-specific
Supported file types, source-video limits, duration, quality, and other controls vary by the active workflow.
Only upload video you have permission to use
You are responsible for the rights, permissions, and publishability of every source clip and the final result.

Video to video generator FAQ

What is a video-to-video generator?
A video-to-video workflow starts from a supported source clip and uses a written direction to create a new generated version. The result should be reviewed as a new video, not as an exact edit of the source.
Can I transform an uploaded video in ImageStyle?
Yes. ImageStyle includes a source-video workflow for compatible video models. Upload requirements and available output controls are shown in the active workspace.
Will the new video keep every object and frame from the source?
No. The source guides the generation, but visible details can change. Inspect important objects, people, text, branding, and timing before use.
Can I use any online video as a source?
Only upload video you are allowed to use for the intended project. You are responsible for securing the required rights and permissions.
