KANDINSKY5 PRO

Kandinsky5 Pro is a high-performance diffusion model specifically designed for generating videos from images with text conditioning. As an image-to-video model, it enables users to transform a still image, provided as a URL or file upload, into a short video sequence that brings the scene to life according to a detailed textual prompt. The model is accessible via the fal.ai platform and is available for both commercial use and individual experimentation.

The core capability of Kandinsky5 Pro is rapid, high-quality image-to-video generation. This is accomplished through advanced diffusion techniques that synthesize coherent motion and animation sequences directly derived from the content and style of the provided input image. The user can further guide the animation by supplying a prompt—typically a descriptive sentence or two—that specifies the type of motion, camera perspective, and narrative focus for the resultant video. For example, a prompt might instruct the model to create a circling camera movement around a heroic figure depicted in the uploaded image.

Kandinsky5 Pro accepts a variety of standard image file formats, including jpg, jpeg, png, webp, gif, and avif, offering flexibility for different user needs and sources. Images can be uploaded directly, pasted from the clipboard, or referenced via a direct URL. This ensures a seamless user experience, whether working with content from local storage, online galleries, or third-party applications.

When generating videos, users have several configuration parameters at their disposal. These include selecting the video resolution (with choices between 512P and 1024P), specifying the video duration (currently set to a default of 5 seconds), and adjusting the number of inference steps (default 28, with a range from 1 to 40). More inference steps may yield higher quality, as indicated by the exposed parameter, though this is not further elaborated in the documentation. There is also an 'acceleration' setting (options: 'none' or 'regular') that allows users to influence the speed of the generation process, enabling faster results when needed.

The typical workflow begins with the user providing a prompt, uploading or linking to an image, and optionally tweaking resolution or generation settings. Upon submission, Kandinsky5 Pro processes the input and outputs a downloadable video file in MP4 format. The output metadata delivered includes the video’s file size, name, content type, and a direct URL for file download. This allows for easy post-processing, embedding, or sharing of the generated video.

Performance-wise, Kandinsky5 Pro is described as being both fast and producing high-quality outputs. It is suitable for commercial applications, such as marketing, creative production, rapid prototyping, or content enrichment workflows, where transforming static imagery into animated presentations or dynamic sequences is desirable. Users can experiment with settings to balance quality and speed according to their requirements.

The documentation specifies that the maximum video duration is currently fixed at 5 seconds, and supported resolutions are 512P and 1024P. There is no stated support for other aspect ratios or extended durations. All videos are generated based on a single image input, together with a user-provided text prompt. The model does not mention support for batch processing, style transfers across multiple images, or additional output formats beyond video.

Overall, Kandinsky5 Pro stands out for its efficient image-to-video conversion, text-controlled motion, and flexible input configurations. Users are empowered with direct control over resolution, generation speed, and animation details, within the boundaries defined by the model's current feature set. Users seeking to bring static images to life for visual storytelling, presentations, or digital media projects will find its capabilities well aligned with such tasks.
