Preparing References for Wan 2.7-R2V

Strong inputs yield pro results. Generate or select images first.

Use AI Image Generator or Image to Image for clean references.

  • Prompt: "Two business people shaking hands, photoreal, front view, neutral background"
  • Generate 3 angles: front, side, 3/4
  • Cost: 5 credits per image

Step 2: Multi-Subject Alignment

Ensure subjects occupy similar frame positions across images.

Reference Type Best Use Flixly Tool
Single person Close-ups AI Headshots
Group (2-3) Dialogues AI Image Generator
Objects + people Product demos Product Mockup

Step 3: Resolution Check

Upscale to 1024x1024 with AI Image Tools. Avoid heavy filters; model prefers raw photoreal.

Wan 2.7-R2V Tutorial: Full Workflow

Access via Reference to Video. This wan 2.7 r2v tutorial uses a coffee shop scene with barista and customer.

  1. Log in to Flixly and navigate to Reference to Video dashboard.
  2. Select Wan 2.7-R2V from model dropdown (others: Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0).
  3. Upload references:
    • Image 1: Barista pouring coffee (front).
    • Image 2: Customer smiling (side).
    • Image 3: Overhead cups. Drag-drop up to 5; order matters for motion priority.
  4. Enter motion prompt: "Barista hands steaming cup to customer, both smile, steam rises, smooth 6-second pan right. 1080p, 24fps."
  5. Set parameters:
    • Duration: 6s (15 credits base).
    • Strength: 0.8 (balances reference fidelity vs creativity).
    • Negative: "blur, deform, extra limbs"
  6. Generate: Hits queue in 30-90s; preview downloads in HD.

Example output: 6s clip with perfect handoff motion, no morphing. Extend with Image to Video chaining.
