Video Generation

Video Generation

Generate videos from text prompts or static images using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A golden retriever running through a field of wildflowers in slow motion, cinematic, shallow depth of field, warm afternoon light"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "A golden retriever running through a field of wildflowers in slow motion, cinematic, shallow depth of field, warm afternoon light"}]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image (Image-to-Video)

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Animate this photo: the woman slowly turns her head toward the camera and smiles, her hair gently blowing in the breeze, natural movement"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/portrait-photo.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Available Models

Text-to-Video

Image-to-Video

each::sense automatically picks the right model based on your prompt. Mention "animate this image" or provide an image_url to trigger image-to-video models.

Prompt Engineering Guide

Prompt Structure for Video

[subject] + [action/motion] + [environment] + [camera movement] + [style] + [mood/lighting]

Motion Keywords

Cinematic Keywords

cinematic, 4K, film grain, anamorphic lens, letterbox,
shallow depth of field, bokeh, golden hour, dramatic lighting

Duration Guidance

Specify approximate duration in your prompt when needed:

"... 5-second clip of ..."
"... short loop, 3 seconds ..."
"... 10-second establishing shot ..."

Examples

Cinematic Landscape

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Aerial drone shot slowly flying over a misty mountain range at sunrise, clouds weaving between peaks, golden light spilling across ridgelines, cinematic 4K, orchestral mood"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Product Demo Animation

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A sleek smartphone rotating slowly on a dark reflective surface, studio lighting revealing its design from all angles, subtle light reflections, product commercial style, 5 seconds"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Image-to-Video (Portrait Animation)

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Animate this portrait: subtle breathing motion, a gentle blink, the person then looks slightly to the left and gives a warm smile. Natural and realistic movement."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/headshot.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Social Media Reel

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A barista pouring latte art in a cozy coffee shop, close-up shot, steam rising from the cup, warm ambient lighting, 9:16 vertical format for Instagram Reels, satisfying and aesthetic"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Video with Generated Audio (veo-3)

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A thunderstorm rolling over a vast prairie, lightning bolts illuminating dark clouds, heavy rain sweeping across golden grass, with realistic thunder sounds and rain audio, cinematic wide shot"}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Common Pitfalls

• Static descriptions produce still-looking videos. Always describe motion and action explicitly.
• Too many scene changes in one prompt confuse the model. Focus on one continuous scene.
• Ignoring camera movement produces locked-off shots. Specify pans, dollies, or tracking for dynamic feel.
• Complex character interactions (two people talking) can produce inconsistent results. Keep interactions simple.
• No temporal structure makes clips feel random. Describe what happens from start to end.
