**What this API does**

Create the same Video Editor you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow.
    
**Good for**
- Automation and batch processing  
- Adding video editor into apps, pipelines, or tools  

**How it works (3 steps)**
1) Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with [Generate Upload URLs](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/files/generate-asset-upload-urls) and copy the `file_path`.  
2) Send a request to create a video editor job with the basic fields.  
3) Check the job status until it's `complete`, then download the result from `downloads`.

**Key options**
- Inputs: usually a file, sometimes a YouTube link, depending on project type  
- Resolution: free users are limited to 576px; higher plans unlock HD and larger sizes  
- Extra fields: e.g. `face_swap_mode`, `start_seconds`/`end_seconds`, or a text prompt  

**Cost**  
Credits are only charged for the frames that actually render. You'll see an estimate when the job is queued, and the final total after it's done.

For detailed examples, see the [product page](https://magichour.ai/products/ai-video-editor).

Use only with the user's own likeness or content they are authorized to use. Do not use for impersonation, deception, sexual content, or content involving minors.

MCP guidance:
- Starts an async image job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_image_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata.
- For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure.

Swap a head onto a body image. Each image costs 10 credits. Output resolution depends on your subscription; you may set `max_resolution` lower than your plan maximum if desired.

Animate a supplied product photo, portrait or scene. Requires `assets.image_file_path` and `end_seconds`. Use the approved image directly; edit only for a requested visual change or a source problem that prevents the shot. Prompt for motion while preserving the supplied appearance. Model, duration, resolution and audio support vary. Generation consumes credits; the queued video charge is an estimate, with the final charge available on the completed project.
```

### `lip_sync_create_video`

Match existing video to replacement audio. Requires `assets.audio_file_path`, `assets.video_source` and its matching `assets.video_file_path` or `assets.youtube_url`, plus `start_seconds` and `end_seconds`. For a still portrait plus audio, use `ai_talking_photo_create_talking_photo`. Text alone is not an audio input. Generation consumes credits; the queued video charge is an estimate, with the final charge available on the completed project.

Generate a new scene from `style.prompt` and `end_seconds` when no supplied starting image is required. To animate an approved product photo or portrait, use `image_to_video_create_video` instead.
```

### `video_assets_generate_presigned_url`

- The name "video_assets_generate_presigned_url" says "generate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

````untrusted-server-text
MCP guidance:
- This only creates presigned upload URLs. For local files, upload the raw bytes to each returned `upload_url` outside the generation call, then pass the matching `file_path` into the create tool.
- For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure.

Generates a list of pre-signed upload URLs for the assets required. This API is only necessary if you want to upload to Magic Hour's storage. Refer to the [Input Files Guide](https://docs.magichour.ai/integration/inputs-and-outputs) for more details.

The response array will match the order of items in the request body.

**Valid file extensions per asset type**:
- video: mp4, m4v, mov, webm
- audio: mp3, wav, aac, flac, webm, weba, m4a, opus, ogg, oga, aiff, amr
- image: png, jpg, jpeg, jfif, heic, heif, webp, avif, jp2, tiff, tif, bmp
- gif: gif, webp, webm

> Note: `gif` is only supported for face swap API `video_file_path` field.

Once you receive an upload URL, send a `PUT` request to upload the file directly.

Example:

```
curl -X PUT --data '@/path/to/file/video.mp4' \
  https://videos.magichour.ai/api-assets/id/video.mp4?<auth params from the API response>
```

### `video_to_video_create_video`

- The name "video_to_video_create_video" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
MCP guidance:
- Starts an async video job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_video_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/video-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata.
- For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure.

**What this API does**

Create the same Video To Video you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow.
    
**Good for**
- Automation and batch processing  
- Adding video to video into apps, pipelines, or tools  

**How it works (3 steps)**
1) Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with [Generate Upload URLs](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/files/generate-asset-upload-urls) and copy the `file_path`.  
2) Send a request to create a video to video job with the basic fields.  
3) Check the job status until it's `complete`, then download the result from `downloads`.

**Key options**
- Inputs: usually a file, sometimes a YouTube link, depending on project type  
- Resolution: free users are limited to 576px; higher plans unlock HD and larger sizes  
- Extra fields: e.g. `face_swap_mode`, `start_seconds`/`end_seconds`, or a text prompt  

**Cost**  
Credits are only charged for the frames that actually render. You'll see an estimate when the job is queued, and the final total after it's done.

For detailed examples, see the [product page](https://magichour.ai/products/video-to-video).
