Video Generation
Generate videos from text prompts, animate still images, edit existing videos, or extend clips.
Text to video
1egaki video "a paper boat drifting on a calm lake at sunrise" -o boat.mp4
Control duration and resolution:
123456egaki video "timelapse of a stormy sea, cinematic" \ -m veo-3.1-generate-001 \ --duration 8 \ --resolution 1080p \ --aspect-ratio 16:9 \ -o storm.mp4
Image to video
Animate a still image. The model must support i2v (image-to-video):
1234egaki video "slowly animate the clouds" \ --input photo.jpg \ -m kling-v2.6-i2v \ -o animated.mp4
Video editing
Modify an existing video (xAI Grok):
12345egaki video "make it look like a watercolor painting" \ -m grok-imagine-video \ --mode edit-video \ --input ./original.mp4 \ -o edited.mp4
Video extension
Continue a video from its last frame:
12345egaki video "the camera keeps moving forward" \ -m grok-imagine-video \ --mode extend-video \ --input ./clip.mp4 \ -o extended.mp4
Reference-to-video (R2V)
Generate video guided by 1-7 reference images (xAI Grok). Images act as style
and content references, not as the first frame:
1234567egaki video "the model walks down a runway wearing the outfit" \ -m grok-imagine-video \ --mode reference-to-video \ --reference-images ./model-face.jpg \ --reference-images ./outfit.jpg \ --duration 8 \ -o runway.mp4
Multiple videos
12egaki video "waves crashing on cliffs at golden hour" -n 2 -o waves.mp4 # writes waves.mp4 and waves-1.mp4
Pipe to stdout
1egaki video "looping rain animation" --stdout | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -vf fps=12 rain.gif
