  "email": "[email protected]",
  "effect": "rocket",
  "image": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "image_tail": "https://example.com/image-tail.jpg",
  "prompt": "A detailed description for the effect",
  "replyUrl": "https://your-callback-url.com/webhook",

}

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 10.
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.
