About

Video to video generation using CogVideoX-5B.

1. Calling the API#

Install the client#

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Setup your API Key#

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request#

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("fal-ai/cogvideox-5b/video-to-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "An astronaut stands triumphantly at the peak of a towering mountain. Panorama of rugged peaks and valleys. Very futuristic vibe and animated aesthetic. Highlights of purple and golden colors in the scene. The sky is looks like an animated/cartoonish dream of galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, moons, but the remainder of the scene is mostly realistic. ",
    video_url: "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/hiker.mp4"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

2. Authentication#

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key#

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

3. Queue#

Submit a request#

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("fal-ai/cogvideox-5b/video-to-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "An astronaut stands triumphantly at the peak of a towering mountain. Panorama of rugged peaks and valleys. Very futuristic vibe and animated aesthetic. Highlights of purple and golden colors in the scene. The sky is looks like an animated/cartoonish dream of galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, moons, but the remainder of the scene is mostly realistic. ",
    video_url: "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/hiker.mp4"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status#

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("fal-ai/cogvideox-5b/video-to-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result#

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("fal-ai/cogvideox-5b/video-to-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files#

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.

Data URI (base64)#

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.

Hosted files (URL)#

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.

Uploading files#

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);

Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.

5. Schema#

Input#

prompt string* required

The prompt to generate the video from.

video_size ImageSize | Enum

The size of the generated video. Default value: [object Object]

Possible enum values: square_hd, square, portrait_4_3, portrait_16_9, landscape_4_3, landscape_16_9

Note: For custom image sizes, you can pass the width and height as an object:

"image_size": {
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 720
}
negative_prompt string

The negative prompt to generate video from Default value: ""

num_inference_steps integer

The number of inference steps to perform. Default value: 50

seed integer

The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of the model will output the same video every time.

guidance_scale float

The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt when looking for a related video to show you. Default value: 7

use_rife boolean

Use RIFE for video interpolation Default value: true

export_fps integer

The target FPS of the video Default value: 16

video_url string* required

The video to generate the video from.

strength float

The strength to use for Video to Video. 1.0 completely remakes the video while 0.0 preserves the original. Default value: 0.8
