Example output from Spanda Reference

Key features

Spanda Reference turns reference images into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 3 to 15 seconds at a resolution you choose, 768p by default. On top of that it renders 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 and 9:21 and it accepts up to 9 reference images. Spanda Reference is built by MiniMax. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Clip length

Spanda Reference renders clips from 3 to 15 seconds, and you pick the length before you render. Longer clips cost more because video is billed by length, so rough out an idea short and only render the full length once the shot works.

Resolution

Choose 480p, 540p, 768p or 1080p before you render. A lower resolution costs less, so test a prompt low and rerender the keeper at the top setting. The studio shows the price for the setting you picked before anything is charged.

Input modes

Spanda Reference takes a written prompt, reference images, reference videos (optional) and reference audio (optional). Add them in the studio, check the preview and render. Every output lands in your history, ready to download or to pass to another model on the same account.

Reference images

Add up to 9 reference images and Spanda Reference holds a character, a product or a style steady across shots: the gap between a clip that looks like your brand and one that looks like the model's idea of it. Attach them next to the prompt.

Aspect ratios

Spanda Reference renders 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 and 9:21. Pick the ratio for the platform before you render rather than cropping afterwards: 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for feeds and 21:9 for cinema. The whole frame is generated for that shape.

How to use Spanda Reference on Enhance AI

  1. 1

    Sign in and pick Spanda Reference

    Open the Video Studio on Enhance AI and choose Spanda Reference from the model list. Video is paid per clip from your wallet, which starts empty on a new account, so top it up before your first render. The Try button on this page opens the studio with Spanda Reference already selected.

  2. 2

    Add references and describe the shot

    Upload your reference images (up to 9) and describe the shot they should appear in: the setting, the action and the camera move. Then pick a length from 3 to 15 seconds, a resolution and an aspect ratio.

  3. 3

    Generate, then download or extend

    Press Generate. Spanda Reference renders in the cloud and the clip lands in your history on Enhance AI, where you can download the MP4, upscale it or extend it with another model on the same account. You see the price before you confirm.

What people make with Spanda Reference

A product across scenes

Upload photos of the product and describe each setting, and Spanda Reference places the same bottle, shoe or device in every shot with its shape and label intact. Build a full campaign of scenes from a single set of studio photos rather than shooting each location.

Style from a mood board

References do not have to be a subject. Feed Spanda Reference frames from a film, a set of photographs or your own past work, and the model carries the palette, the grain and the framing into new shots. It is the fastest way to match a brand look or a client's reference reel.

Matching an existing shot

When a new clip has to cut against footage you already have, give Spanda Reference a frame from that footage as a reference. The new shot picks up the light, the lens and the colour of the original, so the join in the edit is invisible rather than a visible change of source.

Common questions

What is Spanda Reference?
Spanda Reference is a reference to video model from MiniMax. It builds a new shot from up to 9 reference images and a written prompt. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as 250+ other models, with no separate subscription.
What do I need to upload to use Spanda Reference?
A written prompt, reference images, reference videos (optional) and reference audio (optional). Add them in the studio on Enhance AI, check the preview and render. The output lands in your history, ready to download or to pass to another model on the same account.
How long can a Spanda Reference clip be?
Spanda Reference produces clips from 3 to 15 seconds. Longer runs cost more, because video is billed by length rather than by generation.
What resolution does Spanda Reference output?
Spanda Reference renders at 480p, 540p, 768p or 1080p. You pick the resolution before you render, and a lower one costs less.
Does Spanda Reference take reference images?
Yes, up to 9. Use them to hold a character, a product or a style steady across shots.
Is Spanda Reference free to try?
No. Video on Enhance AI is paid per clip from your wallet, and a new account starts with an empty wallet, so there are no free Spanda Reference clips. The free tokens you get on signup, with no card needed, pay for image and audio tools, not video. Wallet top ups start at $5.
What does it cost to run Spanda Reference?
Spanda Reference renders are billed from your wallet by clip length, resolution and the length of the file you upload, so a short clip at a lower resolution costs less than a long one at full quality. You see the price for your settings before you render.
Do I need a separate subscription for Spanda Reference?
No. Spanda Reference runs on the same Enhance AI account as every other model, so you are not paying one provider for video and another for images.
