Try in Playground

This model transforms static images into dynamic video clips. Offers more advanced camera controls than v1 Standard model, including options for tilt, pan, zoom, and roll movements. Results in richer details and more stable camera movements, enhancing the overall visual quality of the generated videos. Enhanced animations make elements like water flow and character movements appear more natural and engaging.

How to Make a Call

Step-by-Step Instructions

Generating a video using this model involves sequentially calling two endpoints:

• The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID).

• The second one is for requesting the generated video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint.

Below, you can find both corresponding API schemas.

API Schemas

Now, all of our API schemas for video models use our new universal short URL — https://api.aimlapi.com/v2/video/generations. However, you can still call this model using the legacy URL that includes the vendor name.

Create a video generation task and send it to the server

The aspect ratio of the generated video is solely determined by the aspect ratio of the input reference image.

Retrieve the generated video from the server

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. Based on the service's load, the generation can be completed in seconds or take a bit more.
