Programmatic Video Editing with AI Models

Traditional video editing APIs focus on timeline assembly, template rendering, and subtitle overlays. AI video editing goes further: generate scenes from text prompts, animate still images into motion clips, apply intelligent transitions, and produce finished video, all through API calls. Wireflow connects these AI models into reusable workflows you can trigger with a single request.

API Capabilities

🎬

Text to Video Generation

Generate video clips from text prompts using Kling 3 Pro, Veo 3.1, or Seedance models via API.

🖼️

Image to Video Animation

Send a still image and motion prompt to produce animated video with camera movement and scene dynamics.

🔗

Multi-Model Chaining

Connect image generators, upscalers, and video models in a single workflow triggered by one API call.

📐

Aspect Ratio Control

Specify 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 output dimensions for landscape, portrait, or square video formats.

⚡

Webhook Delivery

Receive completed video files via webhook callbacks instead of polling for results.

📊

Usage Tracking and Limits

Monitor API consumption with per-workflow execution logs and configurable spend limits.

More Than Just AI Video Editing API

Visual Pipeline, Programmatic Access

Build video workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas, then call them from code. Combine the speed of visual design with the power of programmatic video generation.

Multiple Video Models in One API

Access Kling 3 Pro, Veo 3.1, and Seedance through a unified endpoint. Compare results and swap models without rewriting integration code. Explore the full video generation API landscape.

Multiple Video Models in One API

Image Editing Before Video

Pre-process source images with upscaling, background removal, or style transfer before animating them. Chain image editing nodes directly into video generation steps.

FAQs

What is an AI video editing API?
An AI video editing API lets you generate, transform, and compose video clips programmatically using AI models. You send requests with text prompts or images and receive finished video files in return.
Which video models does Wireflow support?
Wireflow supports Kling 3 Pro, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.1, and other video generation models. You can swap models in your workflow without changing your API integration code.
Can I chain image and video models together?
Yes. Wireflow workflows let you connect any combination of text, image, and video nodes. For example, generate an image with Nano Banana 2, then animate it with Kling 3 Pro in one API call.
How do I authenticate API requests?
Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Each request also requires the workflow ID that identifies which pipeline to execute.
What video formats and resolutions are supported?
Output formats depend on the video model used. Most models produce MP4 files in 720p or 1080p resolution with 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 aspect ratio options.
How long does video generation take?
Generation time varies by model and video length. Kling 3 Pro typically produces a 5-second clip in 60 to 120 seconds. Longer or higher-quality outputs take proportionally more time.
Can I receive results via webhook?
Yes. Configure a webhook URL in your workflow settings and Wireflow will POST the completed video file URL to your endpoint when processing finishes.
What does AI video editing cost per video?
Pricing is usage-based and depends on the AI models in your workflow. A basic text-to-video clip using Kling 3 Pro costs roughly $0.30 to $1.00 per generation.
