  • Asynchronous processing mode, returns task ID for subsequent queries
  • Supports text-to-video, image-to-video (first frame/last frame)
  • Supports 5-second and 10-second durations, multiple resolutions available
  • Supports automatic prompt optimization and watermark control
Important Change: For better performance and cost control, we no longer support passing base64 image data directly in image_urls, first_frame_image and last_frame_image. Please use the Upload Image API first to upload images and get URLs, then call this endpoint.
