Overview
PixVerse V5.5 Transition is an image-to-video API that interpolates a video between two keyframes. Provide afirst_image_url and an end_image_url, and PixVerse V5.5 generates a smooth transition between the two frames guided by your prompt. Both images are required. It supports camera movement presets, native synchronized audio, prompt reasoning, and 5, 8, or 10 second durations.
Key capabilities
- First-to-last frame transition: interpolate between the required
first_image_urlandend_image_urlin a single request - Camera movement presets: 20 options including
zoom_in,zoom_out,pan_left,pan_right,crane_up,hitchcock,whip_pan,camera_rotation - Native synchronized audio: enable
generate_audio_switchto produce music, sound effects, or dialogue together with the video - Prompt reasoning (
thinking_type): chooseenabled(default),disabled, orautoto control prompt rewriting - Duration (5, 8, or 10 seconds):
5(default),8, or10; 8s costs double, 10s is available up to 720p, and 1080p is limited to 5 or 8 seconds - Resolutions:
360p,540p,720p,1080p - Aspect ratios:
widescreen_16_9(default),classic_4_3,square_1_1,traditional_3_4,social_story_9_16 - Async processing: poll the task endpoint or receive a webhook notification on completion
Use cases
- Story transitions: scene-to-scene cuts and morphs that bridge two shots
- Product reveals: transition between a closed and open, or before and after, product state
- Marketing and ads: dynamic transitions with camera movement and synchronized audio
- Social content: vertical
social_story_9_16transitions for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts - Creative experimentation: stylized morphs (
anime,cyberpunk,clay) between keyframes

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the transition work?
How does the transition work?
Provide a
first_image_url and an end_image_url. PixVerse V5.5 interpolates a video between the two frames using your prompt as guidance, producing the transition in a single request.Is the end image required?
Is the end image required?
Yes. PixVerse V5.5 Transition requires both
first_image_url (first frame) and end_image_url (last frame). Requests without an end frame are rejected.Which durations and resolutions are supported?
Which durations and resolutions are supported?
PixVerse V5.5 Transition supports
5 (default), 8, or 10 second durations and resolutions of 360p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p. 8-second videos cost double, 10-second videos are available up to 720p, and 1080p is limited to 5 or 8 seconds.What camera movements are available?
What camera movements are available?
20 presets are supported, including
zoom_in, zoom_out, pan_left, pan_right, crane_up, hitchcock, whip_pan, and camera_rotation. Leave camera_movement unset for a static camera.How does native audio generation work?
How does native audio generation work?
Set
generate_audio_switch to true and PixVerse V5.5 produces synchronized audio (background music, sound effects, or dialogue) together with the video in a single request.What are the rate limits and pricing?

Best practices
- Frame consistency: choose two frames that share scene context (subject, framing, lighting) for the smoothest interpolation
- Input quality: provide sharp, well-lit images with a clear subject for the strongest motion and style stability
- Camera movement: combine a
camera_movementpreset with the transition for more dynamic results, or leave it unset for a clean morph - Duration selection: use
5seconds for most transitions to reduce cost; request 10s only at 720p or lower - Production integration: use
webhook_urlinstead of polling for scalable workflows - Error handling: implement retry with exponential backoff for 503 responses
