How to use Effects?

Effects is PixVerse's signature feature, allowing you to transform your images/creative ideas into stunning effects with just one click

Step 1 : Activate Effects#

Click Manage effects pool

Please check if you have remaining activations and select your desired Effects
img_v3_02ic_0b4b427a-d1cf-431b-b6b0-73df53af7a6g.png
Save the template_id of the activated Effect

Step 2 : Fill in template_id in generation parameters to generate video#

https://docs.platform.pixverse.ai/image-to-video-generation-13016633e0
Taking image-to-video or extend as an example, you need to add template_id and prompt to the parameters. The Prompt can be the effect name
If you use text-to-video, we will reference the Prompt and generate the special effect. If you use image-to-video, we will generate the special effect based on the uploaded image.
Example body:
{
  "duration": 5,
  "img_id": 0,
  "model": "v4.5",
  "motion_mode": "normal",
  "negative_prompt": "string",
  "prompt": "Muscle Surge",
  "quality": "540p",
  "seed": 0,
  "template_id": 308621408717184,
}

Step 3: Add/Replace Effects#

If you want to add Effects
If you still have unused Effects quota and remaining activations, you can directly click to activate and add Effects.
If you have no remaining activations :
Paid members need to wait until the next membership cycle
Free members need to subscribe to membership.
To expand your Effects quota, please purchase a higher-tier plan.
If you want to replace Effects
If you have already activated all your Effects slots, you need to deactivate existing Effects before activating your desired Effects.
Do not deactivate Effects casually. Each activation consumes one activation count.
Before deactivating an Effect, make sure you have enough remaining activations.
If you run out of activation counts, you will not be able to activate new Effects unless you upgrade your plan or wait for the next cycle.

Multi-images effects#

We provide more playful and expressive templates that support multiple images. By simply preparing a few images, you can generate high-quality videos using our professionally designed templates

Step-by-step guide#

Step 1. Select and activiate a template#

Based on the template description, prepare the required images, including:
The number of images needed (e.g. 2, 3, etc.)
The expected role or composition for each image (e.g. subject, background, etc.)
