Pixverse V5.6 Text to Video API

PixVerse v5.6 — Text-to-Video

PixVerse v5.6 Text-to-Video turns a written scene description into a short animated clip. You control resolution (360p–1080p), duration (5s / 8s / 10s) and aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16), while the model handles camera motion, lighting and transitions for you.

Highlights

• Multiple resolutions – 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p for previews through to final export.
• Flexible aspect ratios – 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 to match feeds, stories and banners.
• Variable duration – 5, 8 or 10 seconds per clip.
• Audio co-generation – Optionally generate synchronized audio alongside your video.
• Prompt reasoning (thinking_type) – optional system-side enhancement that can refine and structure your prompt.
• Negative prompt support – steer the model away from artefacts such as "watermark", "text", "distortion".
• Seed control – fix a seed for reproducible generations, or vary it for multiple takes.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
prompt	Yes	Up to 2048 characters describing the scene, pacing and camera moves
resolution	No	360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p (default: 540p)
duration	No	5, 8, or 10 seconds (default: 5). 10s not available for 1080p
resolution_ratio	No	16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 (default: 1:1)
generate_audio_switch	No	Enable audio generation for the video
thinking_type	No	auto (default), enabled, or disabled
negative_prompt	No	Terms to avoid (e.g., watermark, text, logo, glitch)
seed	No	Integer for reproducibility

How to Use

1. Write the prompt — Describe key shots, mood and motion, e.g. "Anime rooftop at sunset, slow dolly-in toward the character, hair and clothes moving in the wind, cinematic lighting."

2. Set resolution & aspect ratio

• 9:16 for TikTok, Reels
• 16:9 for YouTube videos
• 1:1 for Instagram
• 4:3 for feed posts and thumbnails

1. Choose duration — 5s for quick previews or punchy hooks; 8s for more developed mini-scenes.

2. Enable audio (optional) — Check generate_audio_switch for synchronized sound.

3. Adjust thinking & negative_prompt (optional) — Set thinking_type to "enabled" if you want the system to help structure a complex prompt. Add negative prompt to suppress unwanted elements.

4. Set seed — Keep a seed fixed while you tweak the prompt; change it when you want new takes.

5. Run and download — Generate the clip, review, then iterate as needed.

Billing Rules

• 1080p does not support 10-second duration.
• Audio generation is billed as an add-on to the base video price.
• Total cost = Base Price + Audio Add-on (if enabled)

Best Use Cases

• Social Media Content — Create engaging short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
• Marketing & Ads — Generate eye-catching promotional clips without filming.
• Concept Visualization — Bring creative ideas to life for pitches and presentations.
• Music Videos — Produce visual content with synchronized audio.
• Storytelling — Create narrative scenes for creative projects.

Pro Tips

• Write shot-by-shot for best results (wide → medium → close-up, etc.).
• Keep the number of major events small; let the model focus on a few strong beats.
• Higher resolutions (720p / 1080p) are better for export and editing; use 360p / 540p for fast iteration.
• For vertical platforms, set resolution_ratio to 9:16 or 3:4 from the start to avoid awkward cropping.
• Use negative_prompt to avoid common issues like "blurry, distorted, watermark, text overlay".

Notes

• 1080p resolution does not support 10-second duration.
• Audio generation adds processing time but creates fully finished videos.
• For best results, be specific about lighting, mood, and movement in your prompt.
