source.promptrequired

What the video should be about: the AI writes the script. For music-to-video it is an optional creative brief for the visual storyline.

source.stylePrompt

Visual style instructions, separate from the content prompt (e.g. "dark mood", "pastel watercolor").

source.durationSeconds

Hint for the script length the AI writes, in seconds.

{
  "workflow": "prompt-to-video",
  "source": {
    "prompt": "A 30-second video about why the ocean is salty, fun and educational"
  }
}
Free, no API key needed.

Good to know

  • Tune length with options.promptTargetDuration (seconds, or "auto" to let the AI decide).
  • source.stylePrompt steers the visual style; source.durationSeconds hints the script length.
  • Pass characterIds to feature your saved consistent characters.
  • Add a reference image in media.provided[] to guide the visual generation.
  • Set advanced.customCreationParams.fetchNews = true to ground the script in recent news.
