Multi-Shot Narrative Control using Van-2.6 API
The Van-2.6 API empowers storytellers to generate complex video sequences that mimic professional cinematic editing within a single generation task. By orchestrating multiple camera angles and seamless shot transitions in a continuous flow, it maintains perfect narrative consistency while delivering dynamic visual perspectives. It is the ultimate solution for automated storyboarding, immersive cinematic storytelling, and high-impact long-form video production.
High-Resolution Visual Fidelity using Van Model API
The Van Model API elevates the Wan 2.5 and 2.6 frameworks into stunning high-resolution outputs with absolute content consistency. By refining cinematic 3D VAE textures and pixel-perfect clarity, it delivers professional-grade video quality that surpasses original benchmarks. It is the definitive choice for premium storytelling, sharp detail restoration, and high-end cinematic production.
Extreme Inference Efficiency using Van Model API
The Van Model API leverages proprietary compute distillation to shatter the "quality-to-cost" barrier with lightning-fast inference speeds. By optimizing the Flow Matching architecture, it enables massive-scale generation at a fraction of traditional operational costs. It is the ultimate solution for high-frequency enterprise workflows, budget-conscious scaling, and rapid creative iteration.
Unconstrained Cinematic Dynamics using Van Model API
The Van Model API offers unparalleled creative freedom by reducing model constraints while maintaining complex 3D VAE motion dynamics. By deeply understanding fluid physics and intricate camera language, it enables developers to craft unrestricted, high-impact cinematic sequences. It is the premier engine for innovative visual experimentation, complex scene transitions, and boundary-pushing artistic expression.
Synchronized Sound in a Single Pass
Generate dialogue, ambient sound, and background music alongside the picture in a single request, with audio enabled by default across the 2.5 and 2.6 endpoints. Because sound is aligned to on-screen motion, speaking characters stay in sync and each scene carries its own atmosphere. Supply an external audio track whenever you need to steer timing. The payoff is sound-complete clips ready for social, ads, or product demos without a separate scoring step.
Two Ways In: Text or Image
Start from a written prompt or animate an existing still, since every tier ships both text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints under one key. Text-to-video composes a scene from description alone, while image-to-video preserves the details of your source frame and sets them in motion. Both paths share the same audio, resolution, and duration controls. Teams can storyboard from words, then bring finished artwork or product photography to life through an identical workflow.
Formats for Every Screen
Whether you need a widescreen 1920x1080 master, a 1080x1920 vertical cut, or a 1440x1440 square, output dimensions are set by a single parameter, and clips can run 5, 10, or 15 seconds on the 2.6 tier. Resolution scales from 720p up to full 1080p to balance quality against budget. One prompt can therefore feed a widescreen pre-roll, a vertical story, and a square feed post without re-editing, keeping multi-platform campaigns on one pipeline.

Van API FAQ: What Developers Ask Before Building
The Van API is Atlas Cloud's endpoint for the Van family of AI video models, built on the Wan 2.5 and 2.6 frameworks. It converts text prompts and static images into high-resolution cinematic video, using 3D VAE and Flow Matching to keep motion fluid and content consistent. One OpenAI-compatible key gives you Day-0 access to every model in the series with pay-as-you-go pricing.
Van covers both text-to-video and image-to-video generation, so you can direct a scene from a written prompt or animate an existing image into motion. Creators use it for cinematic storytelling, marketing clips, character animation, and rapid creative prototyping. Because inference is speed-optimized, it suits high-frequency workflows that would be slow or costly on heavier models.
Four models sit under the Van family: Van-2.6 and Van-2.5, each offered in text-to-video and image-to-video modes. The 2.6 models prioritize lower latency while retaining strong visual fidelity, and the 2.5 models add cost-effective options for preview workflows and large-scale asset production. You reach all of them through the same endpoint without switching keys or SDKs.
Sign up on Atlas Cloud, generate one API key, and point your existing OpenAI-compatible client at the Van endpoint. Send a prompt or a source image along with your chosen model name, and the API returns a generated video. There is no separate onboarding per model, so you can start building today across the whole Van family.
Van 2.5 generates video at 720p and 1080p with stable motion and prompt-faithful visuals. Higher resolutions and longer clips consume more compute, so your output settings influence generation cost. Check the playground parameter schema for each model to confirm the exact resolution and duration options it exposes.
Yes. Van 2.5 produces native audio synced to the visuals in a single pass, so a single prompt can return a finished clip with sound rather than a silent draft. That removes the manual step of aligning a separate soundtrack after generation.
The Van API uses transparent pay-as-you-go pricing with no subscription. Van-2.5 image-to-video starts at $0.054 per second, while Van-2.5 text-to-video, Van-2.6 text-to-video, and Van-2.6 image-to-video are priced at $0.068 per second. You pay only for what you generate, and output settings such as resolution and length affect the final charge.
Van is Atlas Cloud's optimized flagship series built on the Wan 2.5 and 2.6 architectures. Through proprietary compute distillation it targets faster inference and lower operational cost while preserving the base model's motion and logic. In practice you get the Wan foundation delivered through one Van API with consistent pricing and Day-0 access.
Van 2.6 is the newer generation, tuned for lower latency while holding strong visual fidelity, which suits iteration, batch generation, and prompt testing. Van 2.5 remains a strong choice when cost matters most, with image-to-video priced at the lowest point in the family. Both are reachable through the same endpoint, so you can switch models by name as project needs change.
