Important Notes

Image Quality: Use high-resolution images for better animation results
Prompt: Use descriptive prompts to guide the animation style and motion
Negative Prompt: Specify what to avoid (e.g., “blurry, distorted”) for cleaner results
Effects: If effect_code is specified, the prompt content will be ignored. Browse effects with Get Available Effects
Resolution: Choose from 720p, 1080p, or 4k - higher resolution costs more credits
Video Length: 10-second videos are only available for pro and above subscriptions
Premium Model: Use is_premium_model for faster generation (pro and above subscriptions only)
Resource Expiration: Generated videos are valid for 7 days, save them promptly
Webhook: Use webhookUrl to receive notifications when video generation is complete
Save the _id from the response to check video status using the Get Image to Video Results API
