Talking Avatar

popnow/talking-avatar-v1/talking-avatar

Price

Option	Credits (per second of output)	US dollars
`Default`	2.7	$0.027

Parameters

Field	Type	Default	Allowed	What it does
`image_url`Required	`string`	—	—	Portrait of the person who will speak. One clearly visible face, looking roughly at the camera, works best.
`audio_url`Required	`string`	—	—	Speech that drives the lips, 3 to 60 seconds, MP3 or WAV. The video runs as long as this audio; files outside that range are rejected before any charge.
`prompt`Optional	`string`	—	up to 1,000 characters	Optional note on expression or mood, such as calm or cheerful. Identity and setting come from the portrait.
`mask_url`Optional	`string`	—	—	Optional black-and-white mask the same size as the portrait, white over the person who should speak. Only needed when the portrait shows several people.
`seed`Optional	`integer`	—	0 to 2147483647	Random seed for controlled comparisons.

Example request

This request runs as it is; any field you leave out uses its default. Put your key in POPNOW_API_KEY first.
