+

+

+  Video extension does not support custom `aspectRatio` or `resolution` — the
+  output inherits those from the source video. `duration` is supported and
+  controls how long the extension is (not the total video length).
+</Note>
+
+### Reference-to-Video (R2V)
+
+Provide reference images to guide the video's style and content. Unlike image-to-video, reference images are not used as the first frame — the model incorporates their visual elements into the generated video. Each reference image can be a public HTTPS URL or a base64 data URI.
+
+```ts
+import { xai, type XaiVideoModelOptions } from '@ai-sdk/xai';
+import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai';

+  },
+});
+```
+
+Use `<IMAGE_1>`, `<IMAGE_2>`, etc. in your prompt to reference specific images. Up to 7 reference images are supported per request.
