SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests.

What problem does it solve? Turning a static image into a short animated video normally requires video editing skills or complex tooling; this Skill lets an AI agent call the Kandinsky image-to-video model through the Pixazo API with a single prompt and an image URL. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Image-to-Video Generation: Submit a prompt and an image URL to the Kandinsky v5 Pro endpoint to produce an animated clip. - Guided API Key Setup: Walks the agent through acquiring, saving, and reusing a Pixazo API key stored at ~/.pixazo/api-key. - Async Polling & Error Handling: Polls the task status endpoint until the video is ready and maps 401/402/429/5xx responses to clear user-facing messages. - Use Case: A marketer has a product hero image and wants a short looping clip for social media; the agent submits the image with a motion prompt, polls for completion, and returns the video URL. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate a video from an image URL using Kandinsky with a prompt describing the desired motion.

Frequently Asked Questions about kandinsky

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a video from an image with Kandinsky?▼

Send a POST request to the Kandinsky v5 Pro endpoint on the Pixazo gateway with a prompt describing the motion and an image_url. The response returns a task_id, which you poll until the status is completed and a video URL is available.

What API key do I need for the Kandinsky video API?▼

You need a free Pixazo API key from https://api-console.pixazo.ai/api_keys. The key is sent as the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header and can be saved to ~/.pixazo/api-key for reuse.

Can Kandinsky generate videos from text only without an image?▼

This Skill exposes the Kandinsky v5 Pro image-to-video operation, which requires an image_url input. For text-to-video generation, use a different video model skill such as sora, veo, or kling.

Why is my Kandinsky video request returning a 401 error?▼

A 401 means the API key is missing or invalid. Generate a fresh key at the Pixazo API console and ensure it is passed in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header of the request.

How long does Kandinsky video generation take?▼

Video generation is asynchronous; the skill polls the status endpoint every 5-10 seconds with a total cap of about 10 minutes. The exact completion time depends on the model load and request complexity.
