Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`prompt`	string	Yes	-	Text prompt for video generation (up to 50,000 characters).
`duration`	integer	No	5	The duration of the video in seconds (5-15), billed per second.
`resolution`	string	No	768P	480P and 768P are native generation modes; 1080P is latent refinement from a native 768P source. 480P768P1080P
`aspect_ratio`	string	No	16:9	The aspect ratio of the generated video. 21:916:94:31:13:49:16
`prompt_expansion_mode`	string	No	balanced	How much effort to spend rewriting the prompt before generation. 'disabled' skips expansion, 'balanced' returns in about a second, 'quality' spends up to ~30s on a richer prompt. disabledbalancedquality
`enable_safety_checker`	boolean	No	true	If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled.
`seed`	integer	No	-	Random seed. A random seed is selected when omitted.
