NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Super Image to Video is a fast AI image-to-video generation model that creates high-quality videos from a first-frame image and a motion prompt. Ready-to-use REST inference API for animating images, product videos, cinematic clips, social media content, advertising creatives, concept videos, and professional image-to-video workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing.

Features

NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Super Image-to-Video

NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Super Image-to-Video generates short videos from a reference image and a natural-language prompt. It supports motion prompting, negative prompting, size presets, duration selection, inference-step tuning, and guidance scaling for high-quality image-driven video generation.

Why Choose This?

• Image-guided video generation Start from a single reference image and animate it into a video clip.

• Prompt-based motion control Describe motion, camera movement, atmosphere, and scene behavior using natural language.

• Negative prompt support Use negative_prompt to steer the model away from unwanted content or artifacts.

• Flexible size presets Generate videos in common aspect ratios such as 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16.

• Simple duration control Choose a fixed output duration from 1 to 7 seconds.

• Production-ready API Suitable for concept visualization, animated keyframes, creator content, marketing clips, and short cinematic sequences.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload the reference image — provide the image you want to animate.
2. Write the prompt — describe the desired motion, camera action, and scene evolution.
3. Add a negative prompt (optional) — specify things you want to avoid.
4. Choose the output size — select the aspect ratio that matches your intended output.
5. Set duration (optional) — choose a fixed output length between 1 and 7 seconds.
6. Tune generation settings (optional) — adjust num_inference_steps and guidance_scale if needed.
7. Submit — run the model and download the generated video.

Example Prompt

A cinematic slow push-in as the subject turns slightly toward the camera, soft wind movement in the hair, subtle background motion, realistic lighting, polished commercial look

Pricing

Pricing is based on the selected duration.

Billing Rules

• Pricing is $0.05 per second
• Billing follows the selected duration
• Minimum billed duration is 1 second
• Maximum billed duration is 7 seconds
• size, negative_prompt, num_inference_steps, and guidance_scale do not directly affect pricing

Best Use Cases

• Image-to-video animation — Turn a still image into a dynamic short clip.
• Concept visualization — Explore motion ideas from a single frame.
• Social media content — Create short animated content from static artwork or portraits.
• Marketing creatives — Animate posters, product shots, or character stills.
• Cinematic prototyping — Test prompt-driven motion, framing, and visual storytelling.

Pro Tips

• Use a clear, high-quality reference image for better motion stability.
• Keep prompts focused on motion, camera behavior, and scene change rather than restating static details already visible in the image.
• Match the input image aspect ratio to the selected size whenever possible.
• If the input image ratio does not match the selected size, the result may appear stretched or distorted.
• Start with the default settings first, then tune guidance_scale or num_inference_steps only if needed.
• Use negative_prompt to reduce unwanted artifacts or style drift.

Notes

• prompt and image are required.
• duration is selected directly from 1 to 7 seconds.
• size defaults to 16:9.
• Pricing depends only on the selected duration.
• For best results, the input image ratio should match the selected size ratio to avoid distortion.
