# Wan22ImageToVideoLatent - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> Complete documentation for the Wan22ImageToVideoLatent node in ComfyUI. Learn its inputs, outputs, parameters and usage.

> This documentation was AI-generated. If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contribute! [Edit on GitHub](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/embedded-docs/blob/main/comfyui_embedded_docs/docs/Wan22ImageToVideoLatent/en.md)

The Wan22ImageToVideoLatent node creates video latent representations from images. It generates a blank video latent space with specified dimensions and can optionally encode a starting image sequence into the beginning frames. When a start image is provided, it encodes the image into the latent space and creates a corresponding noise mask for the inpainted regions.

## Inputs

| Parameter     | Data Type | Required | Range                 | Description                                                       |
| ------------- | --------- | -------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `vae`         | VAE       | Yes      | -                     | The VAE model used for encoding images into latent space          |
| `width`       | INT       | No       | 32 to MAX\_RESOLUTION | The width of the output video in pixels (default: 1280, step: 32) |
| `height`      | INT       | No       | 32 to MAX\_RESOLUTION | The height of the output video in pixels (default: 704, step: 32) |
| `length`      | INT       | No       | 1 to MAX\_RESOLUTION  | The number of frames in the video sequence (default: 49, step: 4) |
| `batch_size`  | INT       | No       | 1 to 4096             | The number of batches to generate (default: 1)                    |
| `start_image` | IMAGE     | No       | -                     | Optional starting image sequence to encode into the video latent  |

**Note:** When `start_image` is provided, the node encodes the image sequence into the beginning frames of the latent space and generates a corresponding noise mask. The width and height parameters must be divisible by 16 for proper latent space dimensions.

## Outputs

| Output Name  | Data Type | Description                                                                  |
| ------------ | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `samples`    | LATENT    | The generated video latent representation                                    |
| `noise_mask` | LATENT    | The noise mask indicating which regions should be denoised during generation |
