Video Generation

Available Models

Basic Usage

Generate a video from a text prompt using async mode:

// Start the video generation
const job = await abstrakt.run('fal-ai/minimax/video-01', {
  prompt: 'A timelapse of clouds moving over a mountain range',
  duration: 5,
  aspect_ratio: '16:9'
}, {
  async: true,
  webhook_url: 'https://your-server.com/webhooks/video'
});

console.log('Job started:', job.request_id);

// The webhook will be called when the video is ready

Polling for Status

If you prefer polling over webhooks:

// Start the job
const job = await abstrakt.run('fal-ai/minimax/video-01', {
  prompt: 'Ocean waves crashing on a beach at sunset'
}, { async: true });

// Poll for completion
let result;
while (true) {
  result = await abstrakt.getJob(job.request_id);
  
  if (result.status === 'completed') {
    console.log('Video URL:', result.output.items[0].url);
    break;
  } else if (result.status === 'failed') {
    throw new Error(result.error);
  }
  
  // Wait before polling again
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5000));
}

Video Parameters

Image to Video

Animate a static image into a video:

const result = await abstrakt.run('fal-ai/kling-video/v1/standard', {
  prompt: 'The woman slowly turns her head and smiles',
  image_url: 'https://example.com/portrait.jpg',
  duration: 5
}, { async: true });

Tips for Better Results

• •Describe motion: Include words like "moving", "flowing", "walking" to guide the animation.
• •Keep it simple: Complex scenes with many elements may produce inconsistent results.
• •Use reference images: Image-to-video produces more consistent results than text-only.
• •Start short: Test with shorter durations before generating longer videos.
