| Parameter | Type | Default | Range / values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | - | - | Scene description. |
| mode | enum | t2v | t2v, i2v, transition | t2v: text-to-video. i2v: animate the attached image. transition: morph between image (start) and image_end. |
| resolution | enum | 720p | 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p | Output resolution. Larger = higher fidelity but slower / more expensive. |
| aspect_ratio | enum | 16:9 | 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Output aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:2, etc.). |
