🔧 Parameters
- "model": string
- "prompt": string - The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video.
- "duration": 6 | 10 - The length of the output video in seconds.
- "resolution": "768P" | "1080P" - The dimensions of the video display. 1080p corresponds to 1920 x 1080 pixels, 768p corresponds to 1366 x 768 pixels.
- "prompt_optimizer": boolean - If True, the incoming prompt will be automatically optimized for improved generation quality. For more precise control, set it to False; the model will then follow instructions more strictly.
- "first_frame_image": url - The model will use the image passed in this parameter as the initial frame for video generation.
