-
Flexible aspect ratios 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 or adaptive to fit any platform.
-
Selectable duration Produce 4–15s clips.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the scene, subject, and action |
| resolution | Yes | Video resolution. Available options: 768P, 2K |
| duration | Yes | Duration of the generated video in seconds. Integer between 4 and 15. Available options: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 |
| ratio | Yes | Aspect ratio of the generated video. For text-to-video, ratio is required and cannot be adaptive. Available options: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 |
| prompt_expansion | No | Enable AI prompt expansion via H3 Context-IR. When true, your prompt is first expanded into a rich, structured description (shot, soundscape, music) before generation, and an additional per-token Context-IR fee applies. Default false: the prompt is used as-is with no extra charge. |
How to Use
- Write your prompt — describe the scene, subject, lighting, and motion in detail.
- Set resolution — higher for quality, lower for faster generation.
- Choose an aspect ratio — pick one of the supported ratios;
adaptiveis not available for text-to-video. - Adjust duration — pick 5s or 10s.
- Run — submit and download your video.
Best Use Cases
- Social Media Content — Short-form clips for TikTok, Reels, and Stories.
- Concept Visualization — Bring ideas to life without filming.
- Marketing Videos — Produce promotional content from text.
- Storytelling — Create narrative scenes for creative projects.
Pro Tips
- Be specific about camera angle, lighting, mood, and motion.
- For text-to-video,
ratiomust be an explicit value (e.g.16:9);adaptiveis not supported for this mode. - Higher resolution (2K) suits hero shots; 768P is great for quick iteration.
- Describe environmental effects (wind, smoke, golden-hour light) for richer results.
Notes
- A prompt is required.
- Supported durations between 4s and 15s.
- Generation is asynchronous — submit, then poll for the finished video.
