Generate videos by animating a reference image using motion from a driving video with ByteDance's DreamActor M2.0 model.
By inputting a single image and a template video, this endpoint drives the character in the image to replicate the motion, facial expressions, and lip movements from the template video, while preserving the subject and background features of the input image consistently.
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientSet FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/bytedance/dreamactor/v2", {
input: {
image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/omnihuman.png",
video_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_outputs/omnihuman_output.mp4"
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/bytedance/dreamactor/v2", {
input: {
image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/omnihuman.png",
video_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_outputs/omnihuman_output.mp4"
},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/bytedance/dreamactor/v2", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/bytedance/dreamactor/v2", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
image_url string* requiredThe URL of the reference image to animate. Supports real people, animation, pets, etc. Format: jpeg, jpg or png. Max size: 4.7 MB. Resolution: between 480x480 and 1920x1080 (larger images will be proportionally reduced).
video_url string* requiredThe URL of the driving template video providing motion, facial expressions, and lip movement reference. Max duration: 30 seconds. Format: mp4, mov or webm. Resolution: between 200x200 and 2048x1440. Supports full face and body driving.
trim_first_second booleanWhether to crop the first second of the output video. The output has a 1-second transition at the beginning; enable this to remove it. Default value: true
