Film-Grade Video From a Text Prompt

PixVerse just shipped their C1 generation — and it’s a noticeable step up in what text-to-video can do. We’re excited to announce that PixVerse C1 Text-to-Video is now live on WaveSpeedAI — production REST API, no cold starts, pay-per-second pricing.

What Is PixVerse C1 Text-to-Video?

PixVerse C1 is the flagship C-series video model from PixVerse, tuned for cinematic quality, stable motion, and long-duration coherence. The text-to-video variant takes a prompt and generates film-grade video output up to 1080p, for any duration between 1 and 15 seconds, with optional native audio generation baked in — no separate Foley step needed.

Compared to prior PixVerse generations, C1 shows:

  • Sharper motion detail — clothing physics, hair, water, fire, and complex camera moves render more cleanly.
  • Longer-range coherence — the subject stays on-model across the entire clip.
  • Stronger prompt adherence — C1 follows subject + scene + camera directions more literally, reducing “stylized drift.”

Key Features

Up to 1080p Output Choose between 360p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p to match your delivery platform and budget.

Flexible 1–15 Second Duration Any length in that range, not just fixed presets. Tune for TikTok (9–15s), Reels (up to 90s in chained clips), YouTube Shorts, or cinema-grade promos.

Optional Native Audio Enable generate_audio_switch and the model produces ambient audio, Foley, or mood-appropriate soundscapes in sync with the visuals — no separate audio pass needed.

Cinematic Motion Camera pushes, pulls, pans, tracking, and complex compositions render stably. Less judder, less AI wobble.

Multiple Aspect Ratios Portrait, landscape, cinematic wide — match your target platform’s format from the start.

Real-World Use Cases

Social Video Production at Scale

Generate 15-second clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — 1080p, with ambient audio, on demand.

Ad Creative Testing

Spin up a dozen variations of a 6-second ad creative, A/B test, pick the winner. Much cheaper than live-action reshoots.

Storyboarding and Previs

Directors and agencies can preview scenes in motion before committing to a shoot. Match-cut planning becomes practical.

Creative Shorts and Music Visuals

Poets, musicians, and indie creators can produce their own cinematic clips without a camera, crew, or location.

Marketing Hero Videos

Homepage banners, product demos, hero reels — high-quality short-form video on a tight timeline.

Pricing

Pricing scales with duration × resolution × audio:

  • 360p, no audio: $0.03/sec
  • 540p, no audio: $0.04/sec
  • 720p, no audio: $0.05/sec
  • 1080p, no audio: $0.095/sec
  • Add audio: approximately +20–30%.

A 10-second 720p clip with audio runs about $0.65.

Why Run PixVerse C1 on WaveSpeedAI

  • One API, 890+ models. Compose C1 with lip-sync, upscaling, and image generators via the same endpoint.
  • No cold starts. Consistent latency under load — critical for user-facing generation UIs.
  • Transparent per-second pricing. No subscriptions, no minimums.
  • OpenAI-style request/response. Drop into any existing integration with a config change.

Pro Tips

  • Name the camera behavior in your prompt. “Slow push-in, handheld feel” produces different motion from “locked-off wide.”
  • Shorter clips render faster and cleaner. For ideation, use 3–5 second clips; extend the winner.
  • Audio mode is cheaper than running Foley separately. Enable it when your delivery platform benefits from sound-on viewing.
  • Pair with PixVerse C1 Image-to-Video for workflows that start from a fixed visual anchor.
