Vidu 2.0 Image to Video transforms static images into dynamic videos, incorporating creative storytelling and animations.

This is an asynchronous API; only the task_id will be returned. You should use the task_id to request the [Task Result API](/docs/api-reference/model-apis-task-result) to retrieve the video generation results.

##

[​](#request-headers)

Request Headers

[​](#param-content-type)

Content-Type

string

required

Supports: `application/json`

[​](#param-authorization)

Authorization

required

An image to be used as the start frame of the generated video.For fields that accept images:

- Only accepts 1 image

- Accepts public URL or Base64 format

- Supported formats: png, jpeg, jpg, webp

- The aspect ratio of the images must be less than 1:4 or 4:1

- All images are limited to 50MB

- The length of the base64 decode must be under 10MB, and it must include an appropriate content type string. For instance:

```
data:image/png;base64,{base64_encode}
```

[​](#param-prompt)

prompt

string

Text prompt for video generation, with a maximum length of 1500 characters.

[​](#param-duration)

duration

integer

Video duration in seconds. Default is 4 seconds, with options available for `4` or `8` seconds.

[​](#param-seed)

seed

integer

Random seed for video generation.

- Defaults to a random seed number

- Manually set values will override the default random seed

[​](#param-resolution)

resolution

string

Resolution based on duration:

- 4s: default 360p, options: `360p`, `720p`, `1080p`

- 8s: default 720p, options: `720p`

[​](#param-movement-amplitude)

movement_amplitude

string

Accepted values: `auto`, `small`, `medium`, `large`

[​](#param-bgm)

bgm

boolean

Whether to add background music to the generated video. Default: `false`

Acceptable values: `true`, `false`When true, the system will automatically add a suitable BGM. BGM has no time limit and the system automatically adapts.

##

[​](#response)

Response

[​](#param-task-id)

task_id

string

required

Use the task_id to request the [Task Result API](/docs/api-reference/model-apis-task-result) to retrieve the generated outputs.
