Video

The video tools let an assistant create and transform video in Nodaro: generate a clip from text or from an image, extend or restyle it, relight it, upscale it, and make a face talk or copy a movement. Each tool starts a job and returns its id, and the result is saved to your library. Every video tool needs the workflows:execute permission. Video jobs usually take 2 to 10 minutes.

generate_video

Creates a video from a text prompt. It works like the Generate Video node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the model, which most models set by duration and resolution. Check the model's pricing in list_models before you quote a cost.

Returns: a job id. In clients with MCP Apps, the card plays the video when it is ready.

With Seedance, write a video with several moments as Shot 1: … Shot 2: …, use one camera move per shot, and describe the sound in the prompt. get_node_skill with generate-video returns the prompting rules of each model family.

A reference video tells the model to copy something from the clip. Say what it is for in reference_video_captions. For example, a grey clay render of a 3D scene is a layout guide, not a look; without a caption, the model may copy the grey clay look too.

Model notes

On Seedance 2, MiniMax Hailuo 3 and Wan 3.0, a start or end frame passed together with references becomes one more reference image, described in the prompt as the opening or closing frame. On Seedance, reference videos are billed by the input duration plus the output duration, so longer reference clips reserve more credits.

animate_image

Animates a still image into a video. Pass an end frame too, and the video moves from the first picture to the second. It works like the image-to-video mode of Generate Video.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the model.

The tool chooses the mode from what you pass: frames (a first and an optional last frame) or references. Reference videos and audio cannot be combined with an end frame. For a seamless loop, use the same image as the first and the last frame, turn sound off, then join the copies with combine_videos and add sound with merge_video_audio.

Returns: a job id.

extend_video

Continues a clip forward in time. Choose the model first: two models continue a video they generated, and one extends any video.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the extension model.

Returns: a job id. seedance-2-extend generates what happens next, with audio, and joins it to the source in one clip.

modify_video

Restyles or edits an existing clip with a prompt. It works like the Video to Video node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the model.

With seedance-2-5, the prompt is an instruction that edits the whole clip. The result keeps the source's length and aspect ratio, and the clip must be 4 to 30 seconds long. It is billed like a Seedance 2.5 run with a reference video: input seconds plus output seconds, reserved for the longest clip and settled to the delivered length.

Returns: a job id.

relight_video

Relights a clip, swaps or restyles its background, or composites new elements, using the source video's own pixels. It runs Beeble SwitchX and works like the Relight & Switch node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: set by the number of frames and the output resolution.

Returns: a job id. Results carry a SwitchX attribution.

video_upscale

Upscales a clip to a higher resolution. It works like the Upscale Video node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the upscale model.

Returns: a job id.

lip_sync

Makes a face speak or sing an audio track: a portrait becomes a talking head, or the mouth in an existing clip follows new audio. It works like the Lip Sync node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the model. The tool's model description lists each model's price.

get_node_skill with lip-sync explains which model fits singing, dubbing, cinematic full-body shots or the cheapest draft.

Returns: a job id. The card plays the video when it is ready.

speech_to_video

Animates a portrait so it speaks an audio clip, with the face lip-synced and the head and body moving. It runs Wan Speech to Video and works like the Speech to Video node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: from 30 to 60.

Returns: a job id.

motion_transfer

Copies the motion of a driving video onto a character image, so the character performs the same movement. It works like the Motion Transfer node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: the price of the model and duration.

Returns: a job id.

face_swap

Replaces the face in a video with the face from a portrait. It works like the Face Swap node.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: 130.

Returns: a job id.

stop_video_pro

Stops a running Generate Video Pro job, the engine that makes long videos in segments, for example from a workflow with the Generate Video Pro node. The segment in progress is abandoned but still billed, the remaining segments are skipped, and every finished segment is joined into the job's final video. The rest of the reserved credits is refunded. A job that has not started yet is cancelled with a full refund.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: free; the unused reserve is refunded.

Returns: a confirmation. Poll the job with get_job: it completes with output_data.pro.stopped set to true and the partial video as its result.

continue_video_pro

Continues a stopped, failed or completed Generate Video Pro run as a new job. Segments before from_segment are reused, and every segment from it on is generated again. A failed run needs at least one delivered segment.

Permission: workflows:execute. Credits: only the segments generated again, plus the flat Generate Video Pro fee.

Returns: the new job id.
