Features

PixVerse C1 Image-to-Video

PixVerse C1 Image-to-Video animates a reference image into a high-quality cinematic video clip. Upload a start frame, describe the motion — the model generates smooth, natural video with optional native audio across four resolution tiers and clips up to 15 seconds.


Why Choose This?

  • Image-grounded generation Start from a reference photo for precise visual control over subject appearance, environment, and composition.

  • Four resolution tiers Generate from 360p up to 1080p — balance quality and cost based on your delivery needs.

  • Optional native audio generation Enable generate_audio_switch to produce synchronized ambient sound alongside the video.

  • Extended duration Generate clips from 1 to 15 seconds for maximum creative flexibility.


Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesURL of the reference image to animate.
promptYesText description of the desired motion, camera style, and atmosphere.
resolutionNoOutput resolution: 360p, 540p, 720p (default), or 1080p.
durationNoClip length in seconds. Range: 1–15. Default: 5.
generate_audio_switchNoWhether to generate native audio for the video. Default: off.

How to Use

  1. Upload your image — provide the reference image URL to animate.
  2. Write your prompt — describe the motion, camera movement, and scene atmosphere.
  3. Select resolution — 360p for fastest/lowest cost, 720p for standard, 1080p for highest quality.
  4. Set duration — choose between 1 and 15 seconds.
  5. Enable audio (optional) — check generate_audio_switch to generate synchronized native audio.
  6. Submit — generate, preview, and download your video.

Billing Rules

  • Billing is calculated per second of video generated
  • Duration range: 1–15 seconds
  • Examples: 10s at 720p (no audio) = $0.50 — 10s at 1080p (no audio) = $0.95

Best Use Cases

  • Photo Animation — Bring portraits, landscapes, and product images to life with natural cinematic motion.
  • Social Media Content — Animate reference images into short-form clips with optional audio.
  • Marketing & Advertising — Animate product and campaign images for promotional video content.
  • Concept Visualization — Turn still reference images into moving scene previews for pitching and storyboarding.
  • Rapid Prototyping — Use lower resolutions to iterate on motion concepts before a final high-quality render.

Pro Tips

  • Use a high-quality, well-lit reference image with a clearly visible subject for the most natural animation.
  • Be specific in your prompt about camera movement (pan, zoom, dolly) and subject behavior.
  • Use 360p or 540p to rapidly test prompts before committing to a 1080p final render.
  • Enable audio for scenes with strong environmental elements like ocean waves, crowds, or wind.

Notes

  • Both image and prompt are required fields; all other parameters are optional.
  • Please follow PixVerse’s content usage policies when crafting prompts.
