- **Image-to-Video** - Animate images and create videos from reference images
- **Character Videos** - Reuse characters across different scenes
- **Async Generation** - Webhook callbacks for production workflows
- **Multiple Orientations** - Landscape, portrait, and square videos
- **Task Tracking** - Monitor generation progress and retrieve results
