Generate a video from an input image and text prompt using AI video generation models.
This endpoint accepts a base64-encoded image and a text prompt, then returns an MP4 video file with H.264 encoding.
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientThe @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Install the new package and update your imports — see client setup.
Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("decart/lucy-i2v", {
input: {
prompt: "A cinematic video begins with a woman standing in an art studio, wearing a paint-splattered apron over a white off-shoulder blouse, surrounded by colorful canvases on easels. She gently plays with her hair for a moment, then straightens her head and looks directly at the camera with a warm smile. After holding the smile, she gracefully twirls around in place, her apron flowing slightly with the motion, creating a playful and artistic atmosphere against the backdrop of her vibrant paintings.",

onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.
The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("decart/lucy-i2v", {
input: {
prompt: "A cinematic video begins with a woman standing in an art studio, wearing a paint-splattered apron over a white off-shoulder blouse, surrounded by colorful canvases on easels.

},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("decart/lucy-i2v", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("decart/lucy-i2v", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).
Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
prompt string* requiredText description of the desired video content
image_url string* requiredURL of the image to use as the first frame
aspect_ratio AspectRatioEnumAspect ratio of the generated video. Default value: "16:9"
Possible enum values: 9:16, 16:9
sync_mode booleanIf set to true, the function will wait for the video to be generated
and uploaded before returning the response. This will increase the
latency of the function but it allows you to get the video directly
in the response without going through the CDN. Default value: true
