Parameters
These fields come from the same schema we check every request against. Fields that are not listed are rejected.
promptstringRequiredDescribe how the whole clip should look after the restyle: subject, wardrobe, setting, style.
video_urlstringRequiredThe clip to work on.
negative_promptstringOptionalThings you don't want to see.
resolutionstringOptionalChanges the priceOutput size. Bigger sizes look sharper and cost more.
strengthnumberOptionalHow far the result may move away from your input.
duration_secondsintegerOptionalChanges the priceHow long the clip runs. You pay per second.
lorasarray<object>OptionalLoad your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character.
Fields inside
loras[].pathstringRequiredDirect URL of a LoRA weights file.
loras[].scalenumberRequiredWeight strength from zero to four.
guidance_scalenumberOptionalHow strictly the model follows the prompt.
flow_shiftnumberOptionalFlow-matching timestep shift, from 1 to 10. Leave it out for the default (3 at 480p, 5 at 720p).
stepsintegerOptionalMore steps add detail but take longer.
seedintegerOptionalReuse the same number to get a repeatable result.

Responses, polling and callbacks
Every model works the same way: create a task, then poll it or wait for a callback.
