A charismatic street magician in a worn velvet coat performs on a rainy Paris sidewalk at dusk. A small crowd watches as he produces a glowing golden coin from thin air. A skeptical little girl pushes to the front, arms crossed. He crouches to her level, winks, then reaches behind her ear — pulling out not a coin, but a tiny living butterfly. The girl's expression melts from suspicion into pure awe. Shallow depth of field, warm bokeh lights, slow-motion butterfly release, cinematic.
A WWII soldier sits alone in a crumbling stone bunker lit by a single candle, writing a letter. Outside, distant explosions silently flash through the narrow window. He pauses, stares at a small photograph of a woman and child, then closes his eyes. A single tear runs down his dust-covered cheek. He folds the letter carefully and tucks it into his breast pocket, over his heart. Slow push-in camera, desaturated warm tones, cinematic.
A young woman in a soaked trench coat sprints through a rain-drenched neon-lit alley in Tokyo, glancing back in terror. Reflections of red and blue signage ripple across the puddles beneath her feet. A shadowy figure in a hood rounds the corner behind her. She skids to a stop at a dead end, turns, and pulls a small glowing device from her pocket — her expression shifting from fear to cold determination. Cinematic handheld camera, motion blur, dramatic shadows, 4K.

What is the Pixverse C1 Text To Video API?
Pixverse C1 Text To Video is a Pixverse model for video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. PixVerse C1 generates film-grade videos from text prompts with flexible duration (1-15s), multiple resolutions up to 1080p, and optional native audio generation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Pixverse C1 Text To Video API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pixverse/pixverse-pixverse-c1-text-to-video.
How much does Pixverse C1 Text To Video cost per run?
Pixverse C1 Text To Video starts at $0.10 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does Pixverse C1 Text To Video accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`, `generate_audio_switch`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pixverse/pixverse-pixverse-c1-text-to-video.
How do I get started with the Pixverse C1 Text To Video API?
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Can I use Pixverse C1 Text To Video outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Pixverse). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
