# HappyHorse 1.1 Video Generation in ComfyUI

> Learn how to use HappyHorse 1.1 via Partner Nodes in ComfyUI for image-to-video, text-to-video, and reference-to-video with native synchronized audio and cinematic multi-shot storytelling

HappyHorse 1.1 is the latest release of Alibaba's production-grade video generation model, now available in ComfyUI as a Partner Node. It is engineered for real-world creative production: short episodic series, e-commerce commercials, brand marketing content, and game cutscenes.

A standout feature is **native synchronized audio generation**: HappyHorse 1.1 produces dialogue, sound effects, and background music in a single render pass, with audio tightly bound to the visual timeline. There are no extra audio steps.

Version 1.1 targets five core production-critical capabilities: dynamic expressive motion, consistent character rendering, reliable prompt adherence, stable text rendering, and authentic cinematic framing.

## Highlights

* **Native audio-video sync**: Dialogue, SFX, and background music in one pass (no extra steps)
* **Three creation paths**: Text-to-Video (T2V), Image-to-Video (I2V), Reference-to-Video (R2V)
* **Multi-image R2V**: Up to **9 reference images** per generation with preserved identity
* **Multi-character consistency**: Multiple character references stay distinct with no visual cross-contamination
* **Character × scene separation**: Feed characters and scenes as independent references; characters stay consistent as the background changes
* **Long-context prompts**: Handles prompts beyond 2,500 characters; a single prompt can describe 6–8 consecutive scenes with the model autonomously allocating time and switching camera angles
* **Cinematic language**: Full support for shot-reverse-shot, tracking shot, and cohesive transitions/pacing between shots
* **Flexible output**: 720p and 1080p, 3–15 seconds, aspect ratios 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:3 / 3:4 / 21:9 and more
* **Production-ready visuals**: Fixes shiny skin and over-sharpening issues from v1.0 for natural-looking close-ups and series content

<Tip>
  To use the Partner Nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the [Partner Nodes Overview](/tutorials/partner-nodes/overview) section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the Partner Nodes.

    <Tab title="Portable or self deployed users">
      Make sure your ComfyUI is updated.

      * [Download ComfyUI](https://www.comfy.org/download)
      * [Update Guide](/installation/update_comfyui)

      Workflows in this guide can be found in the [Workflow Templates](/interface/features/template).
      If you can't find them in the template, your ComfyUI may be outdated. (Desktop version's update will delay sometime)

      If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:

      1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
      2. Some nodes failed to import at startup
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Desktop or Cloud users">
      * The Desktop is base on ComfyUI stable release, it will auto-update when there is a new Desktop stable release available.
      * [Cloud](https://cloud.comfy.org) will update after ComfyUI stable release.

      So, if you find any core node missing in this document, it might be because the new core nodes have not yet been released in the latest stable version. Please wait for the next stable release.
