How much does one video cost?

It depends on the settings. The exact price is on the button before you start, and it updates with every change.

What if it doesn't work out?

If the run fails at the provider, no credits are charged. If the result is ready but you don't like it, press “Edit and retry”: the prompt and settings stay.

Which frame shapes are there?

21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16. 9:16 suits Reels, Shorts and stories; 16:9 suits YouTube and websites.

from 5s to 15s. Pick the length in the settings before you start.

Can I use my own picture?

Yes: add up to 2 — from your computer, from the Library or as an element. The model takes them as a base or a reference.

For developers

Run this from your own code

The same request the Generate tab sends, with the settings you have chosen.

Model id:minimax-h3-max

curl -X POST https://seedara.ai/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEEDARA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "minimax-h3-max",
  "prompt": "Describe the shot: subject, action, camera move, lighting...",
  "params": {
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "duration_seconds": 5,
    "resolution": "768p"
  }
}'

This snippet updates as you change the form. Copy it once the settings are the ones you want.

Request parameters

What goes in `params`, by the names the API uses.

Optional

Left out unless you set them - the provider then applies its own default.

Parameter	Type	Accepted values	Default
`end_image_url` Last frame	image	—	—
`image_urls` Input images	images	up to 1 files	—
`aspect_ratio` Aspect ratio	one of a list	`21:916:94:31:13:49:16`	16:9

How a generation runs

POST /v1/generate answers immediately with a job_id - it does not wait for the result.
Poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} until status is completed or failed.
A completed job carries output_url - the finished file.
