Veo 3 Fast Serverless API
Veo 3 Fast rapidly creates high-quality, 8-second videos with synchronized audio for diverse content needs.

https://api.segmind.com/v1/veo-3-fastParameters
promptrequiredstringDefines the video theme or style. Use clear storytelling for narratives or vivid imagery for artistic shots.
"A serene forest landscape at dawn, mist hovering over the trees, a deer slowly wandering through the frame, softened by early light."aspect_ratiooptionalstringAspect ratio determines the width-to-height proportion of the video. Common options include 16:9 for widescreen, 4:3 for classic TV, 1:1 for square, 3:4 for portrait, and 9:16 for vertical mobile content.
null"16:9""4:3""1:1""3:4""9:16"durationoptionalintegerDuration of the output video in seconds. Default 8
null468fpsoptionalintegerFrames per second (fps) controls the smoothness of playback. 24 fps provides a cinematic feel, while 30 fps gives smoother motion.
null2430generate_audiooptionalbooleanGenerate Audio.
falseimage_urloptionalstring (uri)Provide the URL of the image to be relit. Use a URL from cloud storage like S3.
resolutionoptionalstringVideo resolution determines the output quality. Options include 720p for standard HD and 1080p for full HD.
null"720p""1080p"seedoptionalintegerA random seed ensures consistent outputs. Use 0 for random or a specific number for fixed results.

Returns: Video
Asynchronous requests (v2)
Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.
- 1
POST /v2/veo-3-fastSubmit — returns request_id, status_url, response_url
- 2
GET /v2/requests/{id}/statusPoll — until COMPLETED or FAILED
- 3
GET /v2/requests/{id}Result — final response body
Status states
- A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
- An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
- Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
- Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
- Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
