SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating AI-generated media requires navigating dozens of models with different parameters, pricing, and capabilities. This Skill unifies image, video, and audio generation through the fal.ai MCP server so you can produce media assets from a single interface without learning each model's API. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Image Generation: Create images with Nano Banana 2 for fast drafts or Nano Banana Pro for high-fidelity production output, including image editing and style transfer from uploaded sources. - Video Generation: Produce text-to-video and image-to-video clips with Seedance 1.0 Pro, Kling Video v3 Pro, or Veo 3, with control over duration, aspect ratio, and seed. - Audio Generation: Synthesize speech with CSM-1B, generate video-matched audio with ThinkSound, or use ElevenLabs and VideoDB for voice, music, and sound effects. - Use Case: A content creator needs a thumbnail, a 5-second intro clip, and a voiceover for a video. They generate the thumbnail with Nano Banana Pro, animate it with Seedance, and narrate it with CSM-1B, checking cost estimates before each run. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate an image of a specific scene using fal.ai, for example a landscape product photo, and it will select the right model and parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions about fal-ai-media

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate images with fal.ai in Claude Code?▼

Configure the fal.ai MCP server with your FAL_KEY, then call the generate tool with a model like fal-ai/nano-banana-2 and a prompt. You can control aspect ratio, image count, seed, and guidance scale through the input parameters.

What is the difference between Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro?▼

Nano Banana 2 is optimized for fast iterations, drafts, and image editing, while Nano Banana Pro targets production-quality output with better realism, typography, and detailed prompt adherence. Iterate on prompts with the cheaper model, then switch to Pro for finals.

Which fal.ai model should I use for text-to-video generation?▼

Seedance 1.0 Pro handles text-to-video and image-to-video with strong motion quality, Kling Video v3 Pro adds native audio generation, and Veo 3 produces video with generated sound. All support 5s or 10s durations and common aspect ratios.

Does fal.ai media generation require an API key?▼

Yes, you need a FAL_KEY from fal.ai configured in the fal-ai MCP server entry in your Claude config. ElevenLabs audio generation separately requires an ELEVENLABS_API_KEY environment variable.

How can I estimate fal.ai generation costs before running a job?▼

Call the estimate_cost MCP tool with the model name and input parameters before generating. This is especially useful for video models, which cost significantly more than image generation.

Can I turn an existing image into a video with fal.ai?▼

Yes, upload the source image with the upload tool, then pass its URL as image_url to a model like Seedance 1.0 Pro along with a motion prompt. Image-to-video generally gives more controlled results than pure text-to-video.
