AI-generatedSummary
Create a slideshow video by combining multiple images, each displayed for a specified duration, optionally overlayed with background music, and output the result in a chosen video format with configurable retrieval options.
Inputs
- Slides (required) — An ordered list of images to include in the slideshow, each with a URL or storage path and how long (in seconds) to display it.
- Background Music — A URL or storage path to an audio file to use as background music for the slideshow.
- Output Format — The format of the output video, selectable from MP4 (recommended), MOV, WebM, or MKV.
- How to Get the Result — The method to receive the finished video: direct file download, permanent public URL, temporary download link, or save to storage only.
- Link Expires After (Seconds) — Time in seconds for how long a temporary download link (if chosen) stays valid, from 60 to 86400 seconds (default 3600).
- Advanced Settings — Optional advanced settings including specifying a custom save path for the output video in storage.
Output shape
a JSON object containing details about the created slideshow video, including access information based on the selected output type; may include binary data for direct file downloads.
Output shape depends on the 'How to Get the Result' option: 'file' returns binary video data, 'public_url' returns a permanent public URL string, 'signed_url' returns a temporary download link with expiration, and 'stored' indicates the result is saved in storage accessible via the VideoApiHub dashboard or further nodes. The operation initiates the video creation job and returns relevant output info once complete.
Examples
Example 1: Create a slideshow with three images each shown for 5 seconds, MP4 output, and receive a temporary download link valid for 2 hours.
Set 'Slides' with three image URLs and 5 second durations; set 'Output Format' to 'mp4'; select 'How to Get the Result' as 'Download Link'; set 'Link Expires After (Seconds)' to 7200.
