Examples

Underwater documentary tracking shot: a green sea turtle glides through a towering kelp forest, volumetric sunbeams piercing deep blue water, a school of small silver fish scattering, fine particles drifting in the light. Camera smoothly follows the turtle at a steady distance, no cuts. Natural lighting, photorealistic. Audio: soft muffled ocean ambience and a distant whale call. No logos, no readable text, no products, no watermark, no brand marks.

View through a night train window: raindrops streak and merge on the glass while blurred city lights and neon bokeh sweep past in the dark, reflections sliding across the window frame. Moody cinematic tone, shallow depth of field. Audio: faint rain, rhythmic rail hum. No logos, no readable text, no watermark.

Extreme macro shot: a single drop of black ink falls into clear still water and blooms into slow swirling tendrils, delicate fluid dynamics, backlit against a soft white background, high-detail abstract motion, no camera movement. Silent, minimal. No logos, no readable text, no watermark.

REST API

Quick Start

Authenticate with the API, submit the prompt and settings, then retrieve the video using the task ID.

Connect to the Vidgo API

Create an API key, keep it only on your server, and send Authorization: Bearer VIDGO_API_KEY.

Endpoint: POSThttps://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/submit
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer VIDGO_API_KEY

Submit one generation task

Fill in the parameters for this endpoint using the request example, then save the returned task_id to query progress and results.

Wait for the result

Query with task_id, continue for not_started/running, and stop for finished/failed. On success, read data.files[].file_url.

Track status

GET https://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/status/{task_id}

Poll status with a 2-second base interval, and increase the interval for longer tasks. Continue only while status is not_started or running, and stop once finished or failed. You can also specify callback_url in the request payload to receive webhook notifications.

Gemini Omni Flash Text to Video

Gemini Omni Flash Text to Video is Google DeepMind’s multimodal model for fast text-driven video creation. From a natural-language prompt alone, it outputs 4–10 second clips with synchronized speech, music, and ambient sound, plus director-style camera and lighting cues. Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K with 16:9 or 9:16 framing—ideal for social short-form batches, ad concept drafts, brand storyboards, and creative prototyping.

Why Choose This?

Text-only omni video in one passDescribe subject, scene, mood, and action in natural language to generate a finished short clip with picture and sound together—no separate audio pipeline.
Native audio with lip syncEmbeds dialogue, music, and ambience in the MP4, aligning mouth motion and timing with spoken lines and on-screen action.
Cinematic camera and lighting languageResponds to push-in, dolly, tracking, orbit, and lighting cues so you can stage product reveals and story beats with clear visual direction.
720p to 4K delivery tiersIterate at 720p or 1080p, then step up to 4K when you need sharper texture and lighting detail for final delivery.
Flexible 4–10 second pacingPick 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds (default 6) to match hooks, mid-length demos, and fuller short narratives.
Landscape and portrait framingUse 16:9 for horizontal storytelling or 9:16 for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok-ready vertical layouts.

Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
prompt	Required	String. Scene, action, camera, lighting, mood, and audio cues; 1–20,000 characters after trimming.
duration	Optional	Integer. Output length in seconds; the Playground preselects 6. Default`64810`
resolution	Optional	String. Output clarity tier; the Playground preselects 720p. Default`720p1080p4k`
aspect_ratio	Optional	String. Output framing; the Playground preselects 16:9. Default`16:99:16`

How to Use

Write the scene promptDescribe subject, setting, and main action in prompt—for example a product hero shot under golden-hour light with a confident walk-through.
Add camera and audio directionSpecify push-in, dolly, or tracking moves, lighting mood, and dialogue or ambience cues so picture and sound stay aligned.
Set output durationChoose 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds (default 6) to match the pacing of the beat you want to generate.
Select resolutionPick 720p for fast iteration, 1080p for clearer delivery, or 4K for high-detail finals.
Choose aspect ratioSelect 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait to match the distribution layout.
Review the cost and runCheck the cost shown on the Run button, finish the prompt and settings, then click Run.
Preview and download the videoWhen the task finishes, preview picture and synced audio in the output panel, then select Download video to save the result.

Pricing

Billed per generation by duration and resolution tier, with native audio included. 1 credit = $0.005.

Usage	Rate	Details
720p / 1080p	4s=120, 6s=150, 8s=200, 10s=220 credits	Default 720p / 6s costs 150 credits ($0.75).
4k	4s=250, 6s=300, 8s=350, 10s=450 credits	4k / 6s costs 300 credits ($1.50).

Best Use Cases

Social short-form productionBatch 9:16 hooks and talking scenes with lip-synced audio for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
E-commerce product motionDescribe product reveals, texture close-ups, and ambient sound for shoppable demos and landing-page heroes.
Brand concept storyboardsTurn campaign briefs into 4–10 second cinematic beats to align creative direction before full production.
Dialogue and virtual-host clipsDirect speaking performances with language and tone cues so mouth motion tracks the scripted delivery.

Pro Tips

Structure the prompt as subject and setting, action, camera, lighting, then audio so each layer has a clear job.
Name camera moves explicitly—slow push-in, side tracking, or dolly—then separate subject motion into its own sentence.
End with an Audio line for dialogue language, music mood, and ambience tied to on-screen events.
State light quality and color—golden hour side light, soft window fill, neon reflections—to lock atmosphere.
Keep one primary action per clip and describe opening state, progression, and closing frame to reduce visual drift.

Usage notes

Gemini Omni Flash Text to Video is driven by a required prompt, with optional duration, resolution, and aspect_ratio.
Describe speech, music, or ambience in the prompt; native audio with lip sync is included in the result.
Prompt length is 1–20,000 characters after trimming; keep instructions concrete and cinematic.
After an API submission, save the returned task_id to query progress and retrieve the final media URL.
