Create a video with sound

Video is available through the DreamLayer Agent API. Describe a scene, or animate one uploaded image, then review a quote before authorizing generation. New requests default to sound on and a 10-second duration. You can explicitly request silence. Use your API key and API credit balance. Check GET /v1/video/capabilities for current availability. Installation connections that allow image operations are not sufficient for Video. The guides below use REST and do not require a new CLI or MCP package release.

Text to video

Describe a scene, approve the quote, and start your first video.

Image to video

Upload one first-frame reference and describe its movement.

Settings, sound, and pricing

Choose duration and audio, understand the quote, and set a spending ceiling.

Progress and recovery

Poll, resume events, download, cancel eligible work, and recover safely.

​
How Video differs from images

Both use the same authenticated execution status and events endpoints. Video does not inherit a reference image or settings from an image conversation. Start a fresh quote with the intended prompt and source.

​
Supported scope

  • Text-to-video and one-reference-image image-to-video.
  • Whole-second durations from 4 to 30 seconds, subject to quote validation; default 10 seconds.
  • Native 720p output. Actual encoded dimensions can differ from an exact 720-pixel height. Read delivered metadata rather than assuming dimensions.
  • Text video in 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1. Image video uses the source-driven aspect profile.
  • Generated audio or silent output. Audio is generated with the video, not uploaded separately.
  • Authenticated download with 30-day output retention.
V1 does not accept multiple reference images, a source video to edit, an uploaded soundtrack, or arbitrary resolution requests. It does not automatically shorten or stitch a request outside its supported duration. Generated motion, speech, timing, and visual consistency are not guaranteed; review the result before using it in your project.

Follow text-to-video for a complete quote-to-execution example. Use image-to-video when you have a reference. Read limits before increasing polling or concurrency, and Video recovery before implementing retries.
