Short Video Generator

Short Video Generator produces professional short-form videos with native audio from text prompts and optional reference images. A versatile all-purpose model for creating polished clips across any format — landscape, vertical, or classic — with cinematic motion, realistic physics, and expressive character performance.

Why Choose This?

All-Purpose Short Video One model for every short-form need: ads, social posts, product demos, explainers, teasers, and more. No specialized pipeline required.
Native Audio Every video includes synchronized sound — ambient effects, background music, and dialogue with accurate lip-sync. Ready to publish without audio post-production.
Cinematic Motion Smooth, natural movement with professional camera work — tracking shots, dolly moves, rack focus, and handheld feel that elevate short-form content to broadcast quality.
Real-World Physics Objects interact naturally with proper weight, momentum, and collision. Fluid dynamics and realistic inertia make every scene believable.
Reference Image Support Upload up to 4 images to guide character appearance, product details, brand aesthetics, or scene composition for consistent results.
Every Aspect Ratio 16:9 for YouTube and web, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 4:3 and 3:4 for classic and editorial formats.

Best Use Cases

Marketing & Ads — Generate high-converting video ads with product reference images for brand consistency.
Social Media — Produce platform-ready content for any social channel in the right aspect ratio.
Product Demos — Showcase features and benefits with professional motion and lighting.
Explainer Clips — Turn concepts into visual demonstrations with clear, engaging motion.
Event Teasers — Create anticipation with dramatic, cinematic short clips.
E-Commerce — Generate lifestyle product videos at scale from product photos.

Prompt Tips

Be descriptive about the scene: Include environment, lighting, time of day, and atmosphere.
Specify camera movement: "slow pan across the table", "tracking shot following the subject", "static close-up" all work well.
Describe the mood: "energetic and upbeat", "calm and serene", "dramatic and tense" guide the overall feel.
Use reference images strategically: Product shots maintain brand identity; character photos ensure face consistency.
Match duration to content: 5s for punchy hooks, 10s for standard content, 15s for story-driven clips.

Notes

Prompt is the only required field. Reference images are optional but improve consistency.
Native audio is generated automatically with every video.
Default aspect ratio is 16:9 (landscape).
Duration options: 5, 10, or 15 seconds.

Short Video Generator API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Short Video Generator below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "duration": 5
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
        "duration": 5
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator",
    {
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "duration": 5
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Short Video Generator API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Short Video Generator API?

Short Video Generator is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. WaveSpeed Short Video Generator creates professional short-form videos from text prompts and optional reference images with native audio, smooth motion, and versatile aspect ratios. 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 Short Video Generator 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/wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator.

How much does Short Video Generator cost per run?

Short Video Generator starts at $0.80 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 Short Video Generator accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `duration`. 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/wavespeed-ai/short-video-generator.

How do I get started with the Short Video Generator 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 Short Video Generator outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
