HappyHorse 1.1 Reference to Video uses one or more reference images to guide recognizable subjects, style, and scene details across a generated video.
The Playground and API use model ID happyhorse-1.1/reference-to-video. Assign a clear subject, style, or scene role to each reference image; they are not first or last frames.
These specifications reflect the current HiAPI HappyHorse 1.1 Reference to Video request contract. Reference images guide subjects, style, and scene details; they are not endpoint frames.
Starting price is 320 Credits / second.
Start with a clear input image and a short clip, then increase duration after subject and motion are stable.
This is a minimal asynchronous reference-image-to-video request. Use the API docs for callbacks, task retrieval, reference limits, and error handling.

}'Yes. happyhorse-1.1/reference-to-video is a reference-to-video route. Reference images constrain subjects, style, and scene details while the prompt directs motion, camera, and environmental change.
The current HiAPI contract supports 3–15s at 720p or 1080p. Check the page controls and API docs for the current options.
Billing follows output duration and the selected tier. The page follows the global display unit, while the successful task record contains the final charge.
Use a clear, unobstructed source with a complete composition. Describe the main action and camera first, then name the appearance, material, and background relationships that must remain stable. Validate a short clip first.
Choose 1–9 subject, style, or scene references without redundant or conflicting guidance. The images do not need to match the first or last video frame.
State what each reference contributes, then describe subject motion, camera behavior, and the identity or style details that must remain stable.
Start at 3 seconds with a small reference set, then increase duration or references after identity stays stable, or create the production task with happyhorse-1.1/reference-to-video.
