P-Video-Animate

P-Video-Animate animates a single image using the motion, timing, and camera movement from a given video.

Given a reference still and driver video, the model animates the image with the clip’s motion—output keeps the atmosphere of the still (look, lighting, wardrobe) while preserving the driver’s acting, timing, camera movement, and scene structure.

It is optimized for:

Top visual quality
Most efficient inference
- Speed: 5.24 s generation time per 1 s of output video
- Price: $0.03 and $0.06 per 1 s of 720p and 1080p video

Not sure how this differs from the rest of the video models? See P-Video-Animate vs. P-Video-Replace and Choosing the right video model below.

Note

When using P-Video-Animate, respect the copyright of videos and images you use as input and of the video you generate.

Pricing:

Resolution	Price
720p	$0.03 per second of output video
1080p	$0.06 per second of output video

Prompt formula

Fast pass

Driver clip carries motion—good for first renders and timing checks.

[p-image still] [video] [instruction_prompt]

one line: who, outfit, aspect, soft light, upload winning ad / avatar take, usually empty

Locked-in

Spell out identity, motion beats, and audio sync for repeatable runs.

[p-image still] [video] [instruction_prompt]

single subject, pose, wardrobe, lens + aspect spelled out, same driver clip every run, name subject + motion beats + match lip sync and audio

Fast pass — still ↔ output compare; driver-led motion with a light still prompt and empty ``instruction_prompt``.

Locked-in — still ↔ output compare; detailed still + ``instruction_prompt`` with explicit motion and lip-sync rules.

Still / reference image — The API uses the first entry in images. reference_image_prompt is not a request field; generate the still with P-Image (see Domain Use Cases there), then upload the file as image.
- Examples: “Photorealistic woman, 9:16 chest-up, soft window light, single subject”, “2D fitness mascot, cel-shaded, gym background, mouth open mid-hook”
video — Required driver clip. Motion, acting, timing, and camera movement come from this file.
- Examples: a winning UGC take, avatar output, or storyboard reference performance.
instruction_prompt — Optional text that names the subject and the motion beats to preserve from the driver. Usually empty on a fast pass; add detail when identity drifts or lip sync needs tightening.
- Fast pass: leave empty and let the driver carry performance.
- Locked-in: “Animate the woman in the terracotta robe using the source video: she speaks to camera, lifts a serum bottle toward the lens, opens her palm, and nods. Match lip sync and audio from the source video.”

Slot	Fast pass (enough to run)	Locked-in (stronger control)
Still prompt (P-Image → `images[0]`)	One line: who, outfit, basic light; single subject implied.	Single subject explicit; pose, wardrobe, expression, light direction, set, lens + aspect—stable identity across reruns.
`video`	Any clean driver with the motion you want to reuse.	Same clip every run when comparing stills or prompt tweaks.
`instruction_prompt`	Empty — driver carries motion and audio.	Subject + motion beats + sync line; call out hands, props, and match lip sync and audio from the source video.

Tip

For comprehensive video prompting (motion, framing, atmosphere), see the Video Generation guide.

How does it differ from other models?

There exist multiple models aiming at animating an image with the motion of a reference video. Among those models, P-Video-Animate is the fastest and most cost-efficient model without compromising on quality.

We provide benchmark numbers below to support it. Benchmark numbers below are directional and may vary depending on resolution, clip length, settings, provider, queue time, and test date.

P-Video-Animate vs. P-Video-Replace

Both models take a source video and reference image(s), but they are built for different workflows—not interchangeable substitutes.

	P-Video-Animate	P-Video-Replace
What it does	Animates one image using motion, timing, and camera movement from a driver clip.	Replaces the character(s) in a video with the character(s) from reference stills.
What atmosphere you keep	The image’s atmosphere—look, lighting, wardrobe, and world of the still drive the output.	The video’s atmosphere—background, blocking, camera, and scene of the footage drive the output.
When to use it	You have an approved hero still and want it to perform like an existing take.	You have finished footage and want different people in the same shot.

Rule of thumb: Choose Animate when the still defines the world; choose Replace when the clip defines the world.

Need to change what is in the shot (color, material, environment, objects, text) while keeping the same people and camera? Use P-Video-Edit.

Choosing the right video model

Pruna ships performance video models that share the same prediction API, but each solves a different production problem. P-Video-Animate requires an existing source video to drive your still.

	P-Video-2-Pro-Reference	P-Video-2-Pro	P-Video-2	P-Video	P-Video-Avatar	P-Video-Animate	P-Video-Replace	P-Video-Edit
One-line job	Generate cinematic footage from prompts + references	Generate cinematic footage from prompts	Generate premium footage from prompts	Generate fast / affordable footage	Speak from one still (script or audio)	Retarget one still with clip motion	Swap characters in existing footage	Rewrite content in existing footage
You start with	Prompt + at least one image or video (+ optional audio, start / end frames)	Text prompt (+ optional first / last frame)	Text prompt (+ optional image / audio)	Text prompt (+ optional image / audio)	Portrait still + `voice_script` or `audio`	Source video + one still	Source video + identity stills	Source video + text prompt

Quick decision guide

No source video yet → use P-Video-2 (premium) or P-Video (speed / cost) to create the plate, or P-Video-Avatar if you only need a talking head from a still.
Footage exists and the hero still should move like the driver → P-Video-Animate (only the first entry in images is used). See P-Video-Animate vs. P-Video-Replace.
Footage exists and you need different people in the same shot → P-Video-Replace (Model: p-video-replace; use instruction_prompt when multiple people are on screen).
Footage exists and you need a color, product, environment, object, or text edit → P-Video-Edit.

Note

P-Video-Avatar vs. animate: Avatar creates speech from a still (TTS or uploaded audio, lip-sync-focused). Animate copies motion from a driver video onto your still—it does not write a new script. Use avatar for new lines; use animate when the timing and performance of an existing take should drive the still.

Tip

Common pipelines: Generate stills with P-Image → P-Video-Avatar for new spokesperson clips → P-Video-Replace to drop talent into b-roll → P-Video-Animate to apply a hero still to motion from an avatar or ad clip.

Speed and throughput

Metric	P-Video-Animate (720p benchmark)
Generation time per 1 s of output	5.24 s
Wall-clock for 5 s output	26.2 s
Typical motion-transfer alternatives (1 s output)	~36.0–43.0 s
Typical motion-transfer alternatives (5 s output)	~180.0–215.0 s
Price per second (720p)	$0.03 (vs. ~$0.07–$0.35 for comparable tools)

Key features

P-Video-Animate fits the same Pruna API patterns as P-Video and P-Video-Avatar:

Fastest cost-efficient motion transfer: Benchmarked at 5.24 s per 1 s of output—roughly 7× faster than typical motion-transfer alternatives at a fraction of the per-second cost.
Single-image motion transfer: Upload a video and one image to retarget an approved still from a driver clip.
Long-form friendly at 720p: Supports videos up to ~2 minutes at 720p (subject to platform limits; confirm in your account).
Reliable everyday motion: Strong on normal movement and slow, controlled action—walking, talking heads, presenters, product demos.
Motion and scene structure preservation: Follows the source clip’s acting, timing, camera movement, and layout while applying the reference image’s look.
Audio-aware output: Control source audio with save_audio and ignore_audio (see Configuration).

Practical constraints

Output length follows the source video duration (within platform max length).
Output aspect ratio follows the source video.
Very fast action, heavy occlusion, or extreme camera motion may reduce consistency.
Use a clean, front-facing reference still when possible.
Only the first image in images is used.

Integration

P-Video-Animate uses the same Pruna prediction API as P-Video. Upload video and one image, then poll or use sync headers as with other video models.

Tip

For more information on how to use the API, see the API Reference.

API Endpoint: Base URL: https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions

Authentication

-H 'apikey: YOUR_API_KEY'

Step 1: Upload source video and reference image

curl -X POST "https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files" \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "content=@/path/to/source.mp4"

curl -X POST "https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files" \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "content=@/path/to/reference.jpg"

Use the returned file URLs as video and the first entry in images.

Step 2: Create generation request

Animate mode (synchronous)

curl -X POST 'https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'apikey: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Model: p-video-animate' \

Configuration

Required parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
video	file/string	Source RGB video (`.mp4`). Motion, timing, and camera source.
images	file[] / string[]	Reference image(s). Animate uses the first image only.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
instruction_prompt	string	`""`	Usually left empty for animate.
resolution	string	`1080p`	Target megapixel budget: `720p` ≈ 1 MP, `1080p` ≈ 2 MP (aspect ratio preserved).
fps	integer	`24`	Frames per second of the output video.
save_audio	boolean	`true`	Save the video with audio.
ignore_audio	boolean	`false`	Ignore source audio for prompt conditioning and return a silent output video.
disable_safety_checker	boolean	`false`	Disable safety checker for generated videos (platform UI may still enforce checks).
seed	integer	random	Random seed. Leave blank for random.
no_op	boolean	`false`	Health check mode — returns status without inference.

Supported option values

resolution: 720p, 1080p.

Argument recommendations

Use these patterns for consistent quality:

video: prefer stable exposure, minimal motion blur, and clear visibility of the motion you want to transfer.
images: high-resolution, well-lit, front-facing still matching the intended framing; only the first image is used.
resolution: iterate in 720p, then rerun finals in 1080p.
fps: match source footage when possible; default 24 is fine for most web delivery.
save_audio / ignore_audio: keep save_audio: true for dialogue-driven clips; set ignore_audio: true when you only need motion without sound.
seed: set for reproducible A/B tests; change one variable at a time.
disable_safety_checker: leave default unless your workflow includes explicit moderation.
