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
-
Upload your image Add a clean, high-quality frame under image – ideally with clear subject and minimal motion blur.
-
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.”
-
Choose resolution & ratio
- 16:9 for YouTube / landscape.
- 9:16 for TikTok / Reels / Stories.
- 1:1 or 4:3 for feed posts.
-
Set duration and resolution
- Select resolution from 360p,540p,720p,1080p
- Select duration from 5s, 8s or 10s (Not available for 1080p)
-
(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.
-
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.
