About this tool

Use a source video for motion and optional images for appearance. Upload files and use get_files URLs, or supply direct HTTPS downloads. Refer to @video1 for motion and @image1 for appearance. Supply one H.264/H.265 MP4 (2–30 seconds, 24–60 fps, up to 200 MB) and up to nine images. Each side must be 300–6000 px, aspect ratio 0.4–2.5, and total pixels 407,696–8,295,044; 720×720 at 24 fps works. Set max_reference_video_seconds to cover the source. Pay for requested output seconds at the chosen resolution, only on successful delivery. Source-video time is not billed separately. External sources are copied privately and expire within 24 hours; workspace files keep their retention. Portrait review is automatic and may reject references. Motion is guided, not guaranteed frame-exact transfer. Editing and extension are unsupported. Output is saved privately; no separate provider account is needed.

Inputs and outputs

Errors and limitations
  • invalid_input: The motion-reference settings or source media are invalid.Use one H.264/H.265 MP4 meeting the video_urls geometry and frame-rate limits (for example, 720×720 at 24 fps), and a duration bound covering the whole source. Inspect for accepted fields. No generation starts if measurement fails or the limit is exceeded.
  • upstream_error: The video could not be delivered. Your wallet was not charged.References must pass provider review. Contact Scrollport support with the run ID; do not resubmit an unresolved run.
