HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.1: Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Builds new scenes around your reference images, keeping subjects consistent across 4-15 second clips at up to 1080p. Upload a starting frame, choose HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.1 in the Image to Video tool, and animate it on VdoBloom — the credit price appears before every generation.
Reference-to-video solves a different problem than ordinary image animation, and HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.1 is built around that distinction. Instead of treating your upload as a first frame to set in motion, it treats reference images as a guide — who the subject is, what the product looks like, what style to hold — and then generates a new scene from your prompt around them. The practical payoff is consistency: the same character or object appearing across multiple clips without drifting into a stranger by shot three.
Specs match the strongest of the HappyHorse line: 4 to 15 second durations at any whole second, 720p or 1080p output, and the full nine-ratio framing set (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 21:9, 9:21). A character established once can appear in an ultrawide establishing shot and a 9:16 vertical cut generated from the same references.
Content filtering is MODERATE, the standard tier, and the model carries a 4.8 rating on VdoBloom. Generation is billed in credits, with the cost shown before each run.

Frequently asked questions
How is reference-to-video different from regular image-to-video?
Image-to-video animates your upload as the literal opening frame. HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.1 instead uses your images as a guide to the subject's identity and look, then generates an entirely new prompted scene around that subject.
What is it best at keeping consistent?
Recurring characters, products, and visual styles across multiple clips. Because the same reference images can drive many generations, a subject stays recognizable from shot to shot instead of morphing between runs.
What framing and length options do I get?
Nine aspect ratios — including 21:9 ultrawide and 9:21 vertical — with durations from 4 to 15 seconds in one-second steps, rendered at 720p or 1080p.
What's the content policy on HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.1?
MODERATE, the standard filtering tier. Reference workflows involving real people should respect likeness rights, and the provider's filters block prohibited content categories.
