Input Requirements

To use this action, you'll need to provide several parameters:

• Seed: An integer that initializes the pseudorandom number generator for reproducibility (e.g., 43).
• Width: The width of the generated video in pixels, ranging from 128 to 1920 (default is 960).
• Height: The height of the generated video in pixels, ranging from 128 to 1080 (default is 544).
• Prompt: A descriptive text outlining the desired video content (e.g., "A cat walks on the grass, realistic style.").
• Flow Shift: A number that adjusts temporal consistency, ranging from 0 to 20 (default is 7).
• Video Length: The total number of frames in the video, ranging from 16 to 256 (default is 65).
