# Video Workflows InvokeAI ships **ten ready-made video workflows** so you can start generating video without wiring up nodes yourself. Each one is a complete recipe — open it from the **Workflows** library, pick your models, type a prompt (and/or drop in an image), and press **Invoke**. This page helps you choose the right workflow and run it. For how the models work under the hood, VRAM details, and troubleshooting, see the [Video Generation guide](/content/features/video-generation/index.html). --- ## Before you start **1. Install the video models.** Open the **Model Manager** and install a Wan 2.2 starter bundle (Text-to-Video and/or Image-to-Video). The [Video Generation guide explains the bundles and what fits your GPU](/content/features/video-generation/#installing-models/index.html). **2. You’ll select models when you open a workflow.** The shipped workflows come with their model slots **left empty on purpose** — every InvokeAI install stores models a little differently, so a workflow can’t point at yours automatically. When you open one, look at its **Notes** panel (the note icon in the workflow editor): it lists exactly which model to pick in each slot. Drop those in once and you’re set. --- ## Which workflow should I use? The workflows come in three families — **Text to Video**, **Image to Video**, and **Extend Video** — each with a high-quality option, a “concept LoRA” variant, and a lighter low-VRAM option — plus an **Interpolate** workflow that bridges two images and an **Extend Video to Image** variant that steers a continuation toward a target frame. | I want to… | Use | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Make a clip from a text description | **Text to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning** | Best quality, fast. Start here. | | Animate an existing image | **Image to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning** | Your image becomes the first frame. | | Make a video between two images | **Interpolate 2 Images to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning** | Provide a start and end image; the model interpolates between them. | | Make a video longer than ~5 seconds | **Extend Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning** | Continues an existing video and stitches the pieces together. | | Extend a video toward a specific end frame | **Extend Video to Image - Wan 2.2 Lightning** | Continues a video and interpolates the new part to a target image. | | Add my own style/subject LoRAs | the **w/ Concept LoRAs** variant of any of the above | Same as the base workflow, plus slots for your LoRAs. | | Run on a smaller GPU (≈12–16 GB) | a **TI2V-5B (Low Quality)** workflow | Smaller model, lower memory, lower quality. | If you’re not sure, start with **Text to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning** to get a feel for it, then move to Image-to-Video and Extend. --- ## Bundled video workflows ### Text to Video Text to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning Type a prompt, get a ~5-second clip. Uses the high-quality A14B model with the Lightning speed-up (just 4 steps). **The recommended starting point.** Text to Video - …w/ Concept LoRAs The same workflow, plus extra slots for your own concept LoRAs (a style or character you’ve trained or downloaded). Every LoRA slot must be filled — if you don’t have concept LoRAs to add, use the plain version instead. Text to Video - Wan 2.2 TI2V-5B (Low Quality) Uses the smaller TI2V-5B model. Lower quality and slower per result, but fits comfortably on 12–16 GB GPUs. Good for quick drafts or smaller cards. ### Image to Video Image to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning Drop in a starting image and a prompt; the model animates outward from your image as the first frame. Uses the A14B model + Lightning. **The recommended image-to-video starting point.** Image to Video - …w/ Concept LoRAs Same as above, with slots for your own concept LoRAs. Image to Video - Wan 2.2 TI2V-5B (Low Quality) Image-to-video on the smaller TI2V-5B model. Lower quality, lower VRAM — the low-memory option for animating an image. ### Interpolate Between Two Images Interpolate 2 Images to Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning Provide a **start image** and an **end image**; the model generates a clip that begins on the first and animates smoothly to the second (first-last-frame interpolation). Great for morphing between two stills or bridging two shots. Uses I2V-A14B + Lightning (4-step). ### Extend Video The Wan models are trained on short (~5 second) clips, so the way to make something longer is to **continue** a video and stitch the pieces together. These workflows do that for you. Extend Video - Wan 2.2 Lightning Provide an existing video and use the sliders to choose where to continue from. The workflow generates a new clip starting from that point and joins it onto the original with a smooth transition. Run it repeatedly to keep growing the video. Extend Video - …w/ Concept LoRAs Same as above, with slots for your own concept LoRAs so the continuation keeps your style or subject. Extend Video to Image - Wan 2.2 Lightning Continue a video **toward a target image**. Provide a starting video and a destination image; the new segment interpolates from the video’s last frame to your image (FLF2V), then joins onto the original with a smooth transition. Combines the Extend and Interpolate ideas — useful for steering where a continuation ends up. --- ## Running a workflow 1. **Open the Workflows tab** and load one of the workflows from the library. 2. **Read the Notes** (note icon) and select the models it lists — the main model, VAE, and text encoder, plus the Lightning LoRA pair on the A14B workflows. 3. **Set your inputs:** - _Text to Video_ — type a **positive prompt** describing the scene and motion. - _Image to Video_ — drop a starting **image** into the image field, and optionally add a prompt. - _Extend Video_ — provide a **starting video** and use the sliders to pick where the continuation begins. 4. **(Optional) adjust resolution.** The defaults are chosen to balance speed and memory. If you hit an out-of-memory error, lower the resolution preset — see the [VRAM tips](/content/features/video-workflows/#which-one-fits-my-gpu/index.html) below. 5. **Press Invoke.** The finished MP4 appears in the gallery and plays inline in the viewer. --- ## Which one fits my GPU? A rough guide — exact numbers depend on resolution and your system. See [Video Generation → OOM errors](/content/features/video-generation/#oom-errors/index.html) for the full picture. | Your GPU | Best choice | | --- | --- | | 24 GB and up | Any workflow at 720p. | | 16–24 GB | A14B Lightning workflows at 480p; TI2V-5B at up to 720p. | | 12–16 GB | The **TI2V-5B (Low Quality)** workflows. | If you get an **out-of-memory** error, lower the resolution first (it helps far more than reducing the frame count), and switch to a TI2V-5B workflow if you’re still over budget. --- ## Going further These workflows are starting points. Once you’re comfortable, the [Video Generation guide](/content/features/video-generation/index.html) covers what’s happening inside them — the model variants, how image conditioning works, the trick for chaining clips into longer videos, recommended parameters, and troubleshooting.
