## Other responses

- `400` — The request or source video is not supported for remixing, or the organization does not support video generation.
- `404` — The source video or a referenced character was not found or is not accessible, the source video is not ready, or the Videos API is unavailable.
- `429` — The request was rejected because a rate limit was exceeded. A slow_down error means traffic increased too quickly; reduce your request rate, then increase it gradually.
