Its modes include prompt- and script-led video generation, talking avatars, image-to-video, and character swaps. Exports are listed at Full HD 1080p without a watermark, in vertical 9:16, square 1:1, or widescreen 16:9 formats. Users can publish or schedule videos to services including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and others. For development work, the service offers a REST API, MCP server, CLI, and TypeScript SDK; the maker says the API has 65 endpoints.
