Parameters

How to Use

2. Write your prompt — describe the motion, pacing, mood, and camera behavior you want.
3. Choose size — select the aspect ratio that fits your target format.
4. Choose resolution — use 540p for lower cost, 720p for balanced output, or 1080p for higher quality.
5. Choose duration — select either 5s or 10s.
6. Add references (optional) — include references if you want stronger visual direction.
7. Submit — run the model and download the generated video.

Example Prompt

A cinematic video of a teenage girl crossing a vast desert at sunset, dragging a small cart filled with scrap metal. She discovers a damaged robot half-buried in the sand. At first she points a tool at it cautiously, but the robot weakly raises one hand and offers her a tiny glowing flower made of metal. She slowly lowers her guard and smiles. The camera starts with a wide desert landscape, then moves into a gentle close-up of the girl and the robot. Golden sunset, blowing sand, emotional sci-fi adventure, warm and hopeful tone.

Pricing

Pricing depends on duration and resolution.
