Inputs
| Name |
Type |
Required |
Default |
Description |
scene |
text |
yes |
— |
The scene to render (e.g. "a chef plating food in a moody Michelin-star kitchen"). |
style |
text |
no |
cinematic, anamorphic lens, shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting |
Visual tone and style (e.g. "noir, handheld, golden hour"). |
duration |
text |
no |
10s |
Target duration (e.g. "5s", "10s"). |
aspect_ratio |
text |
no |
16:9 |
Output aspect ratio — "16:9", "9:16", or "1:1". |
reference_image |
image_url |
no |
— |
Optional reference image for subject/scene anchoring. |
Steps
Phase A — Generate the One-Shot Video
Submit the plan with ONE step:
- One-shot video — If
{{reference_image}} is provided, use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-image-to-video); otherwise use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-text-to-video).
- Prompt:
{{scene}}, one continuous uncut shot, no transitions, camera slowly moves through scene, {{style}}, ultra cinematic, film grain, 4K quality
- Aspect ratio:
{{aspect_ratio}}
- Duration:
{{duration}}
After generation, present the video and suggest:
- A second angle variation
- Adding ambient sound with
mmaudio-v2-video-to-video
Notes
- Emphasize "no cuts, no transitions" in the prompt for true one-shot feel.
- For portrait/vertical style (9:16), add "vertical format, smartphone framing" to the prompt.
- If the scene involves a person, suggest
kling-v3.0-pro-image-to-video as an alternative for better human motion.
Trigger Keywords
one shot video, single take, continuous video, one take, cinematic shot, seamless video
Notes for the Executing Agent
- This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call
muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
- For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via
curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
- Substitute
{{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.

## Steps
### Phase A — Generate the One-Shot Video
Submit the plan with ONE step:
1. **One-shot video** — If `{{reference_image}}` is provided, use `muapi video generate` (model=`veo3.1-image-to-video`); otherwise use `muapi video generate` (model=`veo3.1-text-to-video`).
- Prompt: `{{scene}}, one continuous uncut shot, no transitions, camera slowly moves through scene, {{style}}, ultra cinematic, film grain, 4K quality`
- Aspect ratio: `{{aspect_ratio}}`
- Duration: `{{duration}}`
After generation, present the video and suggest:
- A second angle variation
- Adding ambient sound with `mmaudio-v2-video-to-video`
## Notes
- Emphasize "no cuts, no transitions" in the prompt for true one-shot feel.
- For portrait/vertical style (9:16), add "vertical format, smartphone framing" to the prompt.
- If the scene involves a person, suggest `kling-v3.0-pro-image-to-video` as an alternative for better human motion.
## Trigger Keywords
