Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`prompt`	string	Yes	-	Text prompt (max 4000 chars). Use double quotes for dialogue; reference inputs as [Image1], [Video1], [Audio1]
`image`	string	No	-	First frame image for image-to-video (cannot combine with reference images)
`last_frame_image`	string	No	-	Last frame image (requires a first frame image)
`reference_images`	array	No	[]	Up to 9 reference images for character/style consistency
`reference_videos`	array	No	[]	Up to 3 reference videos (total ≤15s) for motion transfer and editing. Raises per-second price ~25%
`reference_audios`	array	No	[]	Up to 3 reference audio files (total ≤15s) for audio-driven generation and lip-sync
`duration`	integer	No	5	Video duration in seconds (1-15). Billed per second of output
`resolution`	string	No	720p	Video resolution. 4K outputs 10-bit H.265/HEVC 480p720p1080p4k
`aspect_ratio`	string	No	16:9	Aspect ratio. 'adaptive' lets the model choose based on inputs 16:94:31:13:49:1621:99:21adaptive
`generate_audio`	boolean	No	true	Generate synchronized audio (dialogue, SFX, background music)
