Videos

Edit a previously generated video with a text prompt and optional reference images (video-to-video); runs on griffin-hd (720p, with soundtrack) and the output keeps the source video's duration unless you pass one. Pass the video `url` you received from `createVideo`, `createVideoFromReferences`, or an earlier edit - it must be a video you generated within the last 7 days; arbitrary external videos are not accepted. Optionally add up to 5 reference `images` (URL or base64) to guide the edit. The job result is the new video URL and its actual duration in seconds. Credits are held when the job is accepted; the final charge is max(rate × produced seconds, the model's minimum charge), never more than for the duration you requested, and the difference (or everything, if the job fails or is cancelled) is refunded. Pass an optional `request_id` to tag the result so you can locate it later via listGenerations (type video). Related tools: `createVideo` to generate the source clip, `createVideoFromReferences` for reference-driven generation. Requires an API key (user scope). The call returns 202 with a job id - poll getApiJob (pass wait 30 to long-poll) honouring poll_after_ms, until status is succeeded; its result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated but still supported: pass `async: false` to block until the result is ready and receive it as the response body. Synchronous calls run on the same queue: the response carries an X-Ludo-Job-Id header, and a job still running after 15 minutes comes back as 202 with the job instead of an error. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once via the API; a request beyond that returns 429 (code PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT).

post/assets/video/edit

Request body

videostring required

URL of a video you generated in the last 7 days (returned by createVideo, createVideoFromReferences, or a previous edit). External URLs are not accepted.

promptstring required

Edit instruction describing the desired change.

imagesstring[]

Optional reference images (up to 5), each a URL or base64, to guide the edit.

durationnumber float

Output video length in seconds. Defaults to the source video's duration.

model'griffin-hd' | 'eagle'

Video model to use. Griffin HD (720p, generates audio) is the current model; Eagle is legacy.

request_idstring

Optional client-provided identifier, unique per request. Re-sending the same request_id returns the existing job instead of generating again. Also usable as the request_id filter of listGenerations.

asyncboolean

Defaults to true: the call returns 202 immediately with a job id to poll with getApiJob. Set false for a synchronous response (deprecated but supported): the call then blocks until the result is ready.

Response

Success

urlstring

URL to the generated video file

durationnumber float

Duration of the video in seconds

has_audioboolean
request_idstring
