Request Body
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "effect": "rocket",
  "image": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "image_tail": "https://example.com/image-tail.jpg",
  "prompt": "A detailed description for the effect",

  • email is optional when only one account configured.
    However, if you have multiple accounts configured, this parameter becomes required.

  • effect is required, the name of the effect to apply.
    Get available effects from GET /videos/effects.

  • image is required, URL to the image to animate.
    Image can be uploaded using POST /assets and the returned URLs can be used here.

  • image_tail is optional, URL to the end frame image.
    Required for some effects that support compositedSchema.
    Image can be uploaded using POST /assets and the returned URLs can be used here.

  • prompt is optional, text description to guide the effect.
    Required for some effects that support compositedSchema. Maximum length: 2500 characters.

  • maxJobs is optional, range from 1 to 50.
    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent jobs.

  • replyUrl is optional, a callback URL to receive generation progress and result.
    See GET /tasks/task_id for response model.

  • replyRef is optional, a reference identifier for the callback.

Notes:

  • Different effects have different requirements. Check the response from GET /videos/effects to see if an effect supports tail images and prompts.
  • Effects with a compositedSchema typically require both image_tail and prompt parameters.
  • Effects without a compositedSchema only support a single image parameter.
