VGENV · CREATION GUIDE

Explore the features

From a short description to a finished video. Learn how to create with vgenv, work with references, and take your next step after generation.

01

Quick start

Start with a description. Add images, video, or audio whenever your idea needs a reference.

  1. Describe your scene

    Sign in and open Studio. Describe the subject, action, and setting, then add camera movement, dialogue, music, or atmosphere as needed.

  2. Choose inputs and settings

    Upload any references, choose a duration, aspect ratio, and tier, then check your available free usage or the quoted price.

  3. Generate and view the result

    Select Generate and complete any payment confirmation shown. Follow the job’s progress, then play, download, or build on the finished video.

02

Creation modes

Create freely from an idea, or begin with an existing image. Choose the inputs that suit your scene.

No upload needed

Start with text

Choose Reference mode and describe what you want to see. Turn a scene, story moment, or advertising idea into a video.

Images · Video · Audio

Create with references

In Reference mode, add character, product, or scene images, a motion video, or an audio reference. References help convey details that are hard to describe.

First / last frames

Set the opening and ending

Choose First / last frame mode and upload a first frame. Add a last frame to guide the ending. Last frames are available with Origin, or with Base/Cinematic Enhanced or Quality at 768p, subject to the capabilities shown in Studio.

Frame mode requires a first frame and uses separate inputs from Reference mode. Available combinations are shown in Studio. References guide the result; they do not guarantee an exact reproduction.

03

Inputs & settings

Prepare your references, then adjust the output. All uploads must finish before you can submit a generation.

InputFormatCount & size limit
Reference imagesJPEG / PNG / WebPUp to 9, 5 MiB each
Reference videoMP41 video, 200 MiB
Reference audioMP3 / WAV1 audio file, 50 MiB

MP4 files need an audio stream; a silent audio stream is accepted. First and last frames each accept one image. Retry failed uploads or replace unavailable files.

The library and frames from your videos

Choose public images from the material library or reuse My materials. The first-frame slot also lets you extract the last frame of one of your completed videos. Preview and confirm it to continue your next scene.

Model
Base or Cinematic. Origin is currently available for allowlisted testing accounts only. Available models are shown in Studio.
Turbo acceleration
Currently available for allowlisted testing accounts only; enable it separately when available. Active acceleration adds 30% to the price; when dual GPUs are unavailable at submission, the job uses ordinary execution at the original price. The execution mode stays fixed after acceptance.
Generation tier
Fast, Standard, Enhanced, or Quality. Ordinary creation starts with Fast; choose the tier for your current project.
Duration & resolution
4–15 whole seconds, at 480p or 768p. The initial defaults are 10 seconds and 768p. Uploading a video fills in its rounded-down duration, capped at 15 seconds.
Aspect ratio
Portrait: 9:16, 2:3, 3:4. Square: 1:1. Landscape: 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 21:9. The default is 9:16.

Videos shorter than 4 seconds or with unreadable duration must be replaced. Output dimensions vary by aspect ratio, and ordinary video duration may differ slightly because of frame alignment.

04

Person replacement

Character image + motion video

Use one character image and one motion video to create a new video featuring the target character. Sign in and choose Person replacement mode in Studio to get started.

  • Upload 1 character image and 1 motion video. Add extra instructions if needed.
  • All four tiers are supported at 768p for 4–15 seconds. Each uses your balance.
  • Studio uses the selected duration from the start of the motion video and keeps that segment’s original audio. The source must cover the entire duration.
  • Select Generate to analyze the inputs and submit automatically. Changing inputs or settings requires a new analysis.

2x cannot be enabled during replacement generation. Identity, motion, and background may differ from the reference; try a short clip to check the result first.

05

2x upscaling

Use 2x upscaling for larger output dimensions. The interface labels upscaled 480p as approximately 1K, and upscaled 768p as approximately 2K. Exact dimensions depend on the aspect ratio.

Include it with generation

Enable 2x in advanced settings to generate and upscale in one job. The price includes generation and upscaling. Origin, Enhanced, and person replacement do not support this option during generation.

Upscale a finished video

Choose upscale on a completed original video that has not already been upscaled. Confirm the quote to create a new job, paying only for upscaling. The original stays available; eligible Enhanced and replacement videos are also supported.

Upscaling uses your balance, not free usage. An upscaled result cannot be upscaled again. Existing watermarks remain, and another upscale from the same original creates a separate paid job.

06

Jobs & your videos

Follow progress in My jobs or Generation jobs, then manage completed videos in My works.

  1. Preparing
  2. Queued
  3. Generating
  4. Complete

Preparation handles inputs, prompts, and review. Jobs are picked up in queue order. You can cancel while preparing or queued; a running job cannot be stopped through the normal cancel action. Completion estimates can change.

Play, download, and manage

Use My works to view, download, or delete videos. Paid videos are private by default and can be made public, subject to content review.

Make again and Remix

Load an existing video’s prompt, available inputs, and settings into Studio. Edit them and select Generate to create a new job. Replace any expired inputs.

Discover and save ideas

Visitors can browse popular public videos. Sign in to filter, open larger previews, like, save, share, and Remix. Studio’s reference panel can also load a video’s creation details.

Combine clips into one video

Select 2–6 videos in My works, up to 90 seconds total. Arrange them, combine them in your browser, and download an MP4. Encoding, dimensions, and audio specifications must match.

07

Free usage & billing

Check your free usage or quoted price before submitting. There is no subscription; add funds when you need them.

Start for free

Eligible accounts can use free generations for ordinary Fast videos with Base or Cinematic on the website, with 2x and Turbo turned off. The default allowance is up to 4 on registration day and 1 per day after that. Check the page for your available allowance.

Unused allowances do not roll over. Resets follow Beijing time for the China site and UTC for the global site. Free videos have a watermark, include platform sharing rights, and cannot be made private.

Pay as you create

Origin, Turbo, Standard, Enhanced, Quality, replacement, upscaling, and video generation through the API use your balance. When free Fast usage is unavailable, confirm balance payment in the interface to continue.

The price depends on duration, tier, resolution, and additional features. Check the quote before submitting. Available payment methods appear in the interface; switching language does not change your balance or billing currency.

Acceptance reserves free usage or balance. Success settles the charge; failure or cancellation releases the reservation. Payment does not provide queue priority.

08

Common questions

What happens if generation fails?

Check the job’s error message. A failed job releases its reserved balance or free allowance. Retry through the interface, or adjust your inputs and settings in Studio. A new generation uses the eligibility and price available at that time.

Why can’t I generate after uploading?

Make sure uploads have finished, file formats and sizes are supported, and the selected mode accepts the inputs. Motion videos must also cover the entire selected duration.

Will my balance be charged when free usage runs out?

When free Fast usage is unavailable, the interface asks you to confirm balance payment. Check the amount before submitting, and add funds if your balance is insufficient.

Where can I integrate the API?

Open the developer documentation for authentication, uploads, video creation, and result polling. Video generation through the API uses the project balance and does not use website free allowances.
