Blink Video Generation
Generate videos from text descriptions or animate existing images. Videos are charged to your Blink workspace credits (billed per second of video).
Generate a video from text (default: Veo 3.1 fast, 5s)
blink ai video "Ocean waves crashing on a rocky shore at sunset"
Generate with specific duration
blink ai video "A hummingbird feeding from a flower in slow motion" --model fal-ai/veo3.1/fast --duration 8s
Generate portrait video (9:16, for Reels/TikTok/Shorts)
blink ai video "A person walking through autumn leaves" --model fal-ai/veo3.1/fast --duration 6s
Use Sora 2 (OpenAI) for maximum quality
blink ai video "A cinematic fly-through of a futuristic city at night" --model fal-ai/sora-2/text-to-video/pro --duration 10s
Animate an existing image (image-to-video)
blink ai animate "Make the clouds move and the water ripple" "https://example.com/landscape.jpg"
Animate with Veo 3.1 (best quality image-to-video)
blink ai animate "Gentle camera pan across the scene" "https://example.com/photo.jpg" --model fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video --duration 6s
Animate a LOCAL file (user uploaded a photo via Telegram/Discord/Slack)
When a user sends you a photo attachment, OpenClaw saves it to disk. blink ai animate handles local files directly — no separate upload step needed:
blink ai animate "Add gentle motion, camera slowly panning right" /data/agents/main/agent/photo.jpg
Animate a local file with specific model and duration
blink ai animate "Dramatic cinematic movement, slow zoom in" /data/agents/main/agent/photo.jpg \
--model fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video --duration 8s
