Video Generation with AI Gateway

AI Gateway now supports video generation, so you can create cinematic videos with photorealistic quality, synchronized audio, generate personalized content with consistent identity, all through AI SDK 6.

Video generation is in beta and currently available for Pro and Enterprise plans and paid AI Gateway users.

Video models require more than just describing what you want. Unlike image generation, video prompts can include motion cues (camera movement, object actions, timing) and optionally audio direction. Each provider exposes different capabilities through that unlock fundamentally different generation modes. See the for model-specific options.providerOptionsdocumentation

AI Gateway initially supports 4 types of video generation:

Across the model creators, their current capabilities across the models on AI Gateway are listed below:

Describe what you want, get a video. The model handles visuals, motion, and optionally audio. Great for hyperrealistic, production-quality footage with just a simple text prompt.

Generate videos on demand for your app, platform, or content pipeline. No licencing fees or production required, just prompts and outputs.Example: Programmatic video at scale.

This example uses to generate video from a text prompt with a specified aspect ratio and duration.klingai/kling-v2.6-t2v

Turn a simple prompt into polished video clips for social media, ads, or storytelling with natural motion and cinematic quality.Example: Creative content generation.

By setting a very specific and descriptive prompt, generates video with immense detail and the exact desired motion.google/veo-3.1-generate-001

Provide a starting image and animate it. Control the initial composition, then let the model generate motion.

Turn existing product photos into interactive videos.Example: Animate product images.

The model animates a product image after you pass an image URL and motion description in the prompt.klingai/kling-v2.6-i2v

Bring static artwork to life with subtle motion. Perfect for thematic content or marketing at scale.Example: Animated illustrations.

Add subtle motion to food, beverage, or lifestyle shots for social content.Example: Lifestyle and product photography.

Here, a picture of coffee is rendered for a more interactive video, with lighting direction and minute details.

Define the start and end states, and the model generates a seamless transition between them.

Outfit swaps, product comparisons, changes over time. Upload two images, get a seamless transition.Example: Before/after reveals.

The start and end states are defined here with two images that used in the prompt and provider options.

In this example, lets you define the start frame in and the end frame in . The model generates the transition between them.klingai/kling-v3.0-i2vimagelastFrameImage

Provide reference videos or images of a person/character, and the model extracts their appearance and voice to generate new scenes starring them with consistent identity.

In this example, 2 reference images of dogs are used to generate the final video.

Using here, you can instruct the model to utilize the people/characters within the prompt. Wan suggests using , , etc. in the prompt for multi-reference to video to get the best results.alibaba/wan-v2.6-r2v-flashcharacter1character2

Transform existing videos with style transfer. Provide a video URL and describe the transformation you want. The model applies the new style while preserving the original motion.

Here, utilizes a source video from a previous generation to edit into a watercolor style.xai/grok-imagine-video
