Create short video clips from text prompts, animate still images, or produce talking-head videos with lipsync. All results are saved to your Pixelcut workspace.

​
Text-to-video

Use the generate_media tool with media_type: "video" and a video model:

​
Image-to-video

Pass a start frame as an attachment and describe the motion you want:
The model uses the attached image as the opening frame and animates from there.

​
Talking video

Attach a face image and provide a script — the model animates the face to speak the script with natural lip movement and expression:

​
Lipsync

Attach both a face image and an audio file to sync lip movement to existing audio:
For lipsync, attach the face image and audio file together as separate attachments.

​
Video parameters

The generate_media tool accepts:

​
Batch video generation

Generate multiple variations:
To produce the same video in different aspect ratios for different platforms, ask for separate runs:

Tips

For talking videos, write the script as natural speech. Avoid stage directions or formatting — just write what the person should say.
  • Start frame matters. For image-to-video, the quality and composition of your start frame directly affects the output.
  • Keep prompts focused. Describe one clear motion or scene rather than a complex sequence.
  • Async jobs. Video generation can take several minutes. Use get_job_status with sync: true to wait up to 25 seconds, or poll periodically for longer jobs.
