Generate Video turns still images into AI-generated video clips. Animate a product photo, bring a portrait to life, or turn a scene into motion — just provide an image and an optional prompt describing how you want it to move.
Multiple models are available with different tradeoffs between quality, speed, duration, and audio support. Use list_models to compare options before generating — costs and quality vary significantly between models.
What you can do
- image_to_video — animate any still image into a video clip with an optional motion direction prompt
- list_models — browse all available video models with supported durations, resolutions, audio support, and pricing
- Choose resolution up to 4K, durations from 5 to 10 seconds depending on the model
- Some models generate synchronized audio alongside the video
Who it's for
Content creators animating product shots or lifestyle imagery, marketers producing short-form social video, and developers building AI video workflows. Note that video generation carries a real cost per clip — always check list_models before generating.
How to use it
- First call list_models to compare available options and pick the right model for your budget and quality needs
- Generate a first-frame image with the generate-image tool if you don't have one ready
- Call image_to_video with your image URL and a motion prompt like "the camera slowly pulls back" or "she turns and smiles"
- Video generation takes 60-90 seconds — the result comes back as a downloadable video URL
