This model converts textual descriptions into high-quality video content. Provides advanced camera control options, including more sophisticated movements and stabilization.

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.

Retrieve the generated video from the server
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.
