Features

PixVerse v5.5 — Image-to-Video (I2V)

PixVerse v5.5 Image-to-Video animates a single image into a short cinematic clip. You provide a still frame plus a prompt; the model adds motion, camera moves, lighting changes and FX while keeping the original character, composition and style intact.

✨ Highlights

• Image-aware animation – Uses your input image as the first frame, preserving identity, pose and layout.
• Flexible formats – Resolutions from 360p–1080p and aspect ratios 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 for feeds, stories and banners.
• Multiple durations – Generate 5s, 8s or 10s clips for hooks, shorts or slightly longer moments.
• Prompt reasoning (thinking_type) – Optional system optimisation that can refine complex prompts before generation.

🧩 Parameters

• prompt* (string) Up to 2048 characters describing motion, camera, lighting and style. Example: “Dynamic anime close-up, wind blowing cloak and hair, camera slowly circling, sparks and glowing embers in the background.”

• image* (URL or upload) The source frame to animate. Front-facing, well-lit images work best.

• resolution One of 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p.

• duration 5, 8 or 10 seconds.(10 seconds is not available for 1080p)

• thinking_type

  • “enabled” – Turn on system-level reasoning to structure and optimise your prompt.
  • “disabled” – Use your prompt exactly as written.
  • “auto” (default) – Let the system decide whether to enable prompt optimizer automatically.

• negative_prompt (optional) Words you don’t want in the video, e.g. watermark, logo, text, distortion.

• seed (integer) Fix a seed for reproducible runs, or change it to get new variations from the same setup.

🚀 How to Use

1. Upload your image Add a clean, high-quality frame under image – ideally with clear subject and minimal motion blur.

2. Write the prompt Focus on how things move, camera path and overall mood, not on redesigning the character.

   • Good: “Camera slowly pushes in, cloak flutters in the wind, sparks drift across frame, cinematic lighting.”
   • Risky: “Change clothes and hairstyle completely while the character runs and transforms into a dragon.”

3. Choose resolution & ratio

   • 16:9 for YouTube / landscape.
   • 9:16 for TikTok / Reels / Stories.
   • 1:1 or 4:3 for feed posts.

4. Set duration and resolution

   • Select resolution from 360p,540p,720p,1080p
   • Select duration from 5s, 8s or 10s (Not available for 1080p)

5. (Optional) Adjust thinking_type, negative_prompt and seed

   • Use enabled or auto for complex, multi-sentence prompts. The model will optimize it for you to generate better video output.
   • Add a short negative prompt to avoid artefacts.
   • Lock the seed while you tweak small details.

6. Run and iterate Generate the clip, review motion and framing, then refine your prompt or duration as needed.

💡 Best Practices

• Keep the image and prompt aligned – don’t describe a totally different scene or character.
• Use medium or close shots for character-focused animations; wide shots can feel sparse.
• For platforms with heavy compression, prefer 720p / 1080p to keep details clean.
• Avoid overloading the prompt with too many actions; 1–3 clear motions usually work best.
