Overview

PixVerse V5 Text to Video is a text-to-video API that generates a video directly from a text prompt, with no input image required. Describe the scene in prompt and control the output with aspect ratio, resolution, duration, and visual style. It produces 5 or 8 second clips at up to 1080p, making it a fast option for social content, ads, and concept work.

​
Key capabilities

  • Text-only generation: create a video from a prompt alone, no source image needed
  • Duration (5 or 8 seconds): 5 (default) or 8; 8-second videos cost double, and 1080p output is limited to 5 seconds
  • Resolutions: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
  • Aspect ratios: widescreen_16_9 (default), classic_4_3, square_1_1, traditional_3_4, social_story_9_16
  • Visual styles: anime, 3d_animation, clay, cyberpunk, comic
  • Negative prompt and seed: refine output with negative_prompt and reproduce results with seed
  • Async processing: poll the task endpoint or receive a webhook notification on completion

​
Use cases

  • Marketing and ads: short promotional clips generated straight from a copy line or brief
  • Social content: vertical social_story_9_16 clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Concept and pitching: quick visual drafts from a written idea before committing to production
  • Stylized shorts: anime, cyberpunk, or clay looks for art and design work
  • Prototyping: fast iteration on prompt and style variations with a fixed seed

Frequently Asked Questions

PixVerse V5 Text to Video generates a video from a text prompt without any input image. You submit the prompt and optional controls, receive a task ID immediately, then poll the task endpoint or receive a webhook notification when the video is ready.
No. This is a text-only endpoint: the video is generated entirely from your prompt. To animate from an existing image, use an image-to-video PixVerse endpoint instead.
PixVerse V5 supports 5 (default) or 8 second durations and resolutions of 360p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p. 8-second videos cost double, and 1080p output is limited to 5 seconds.
Five ratios: widescreen_16_9 (default), classic_4_3, square_1_1, traditional_3_4, and social_story_9_16. Use social_story_9_16 for vertical social formats.
Pass the same seed together with the same prompt and model version. Identical inputs produce the same video every time, which is useful for controlled iteration.
Rate limits and pricing depend on your subscription tier. See Rate Limits and the Pricing page for current values.

Best practices

  • Prompt detail: describe subject, setting, motion, and mood explicitly for stronger, more controllable results
  • Duration selection: use 5 seconds for most shots to reduce cost; reserve 8 seconds when the extra length is needed
  • Resolution vs duration: request 1080p only for 5-second clips; use 720p or lower for 8-second output
  • Style consistency: set a single style per project and keep seed fixed to compare prompt variations
  • Production integration: use webhook_url instead of polling for scalable workflows
  • Error handling: implement retry with exponential backoff for 503 responses
