This model produces high-quality character animations, accurately capturing expressions and movements from reference videos.

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 two corresponding API schemas and examples for both endpoint calls.
API Schemas
Video Generation
This endpoint creates and sends a video generation task to the server — and returns a generation ID.
post
Body
modelstring · enumRequiredPossible values:
video_urlstring · uriRequired
A HTTPS URL pointing to a video or a data URI containing a video. This video will be used as a reference during generation.
image_urlstring · uriRequired
A direct link to an online image or a Base64-encoded local image. If the input image does not match the chosen aspect ratio, it is resized and center cropped
resolutionstring · enumOptional
The resolution of the output video, where the number refers to the short side in pixels.
Default: 480pPossible values:
num_inference_stepsintegerOptional
Number of inference steps for sampling. Higher values give better quality but take longer
Default: 20
enable_safety_checkerbooleanOptional
If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled.
shiftnumberOptional
Shift value for the video.
Default: 5
video_qualitystring · enumOptional
The quality of the generated video.
Default: highPossible values:
video_write_modestring · enumOptional
The write mode of the output video. Faster write mode means faster results but larger file size, balanced write mode is a good compromise between speed and quality, and small write mode is the slowest but produces the smallest file size
Default: balancedPossible values:

Fetch the video
After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. This endpoint lets you check the status of a video generation task using its id, obtained from the endpoint described above.
If the video generation task status is completed, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.
