One-Shot Video

Generate a single continuous cinematic shot video — no cuts, one seamless flowing scene with dramatic lighting and motion.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
scene	text	yes	—	The scene to render (e.g. "a chef plating food in a moody Michelin-star kitchen").
style	text	no	cinematic, anamorphic lens, shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting	Visual tone and style (e.g. "noir, handheld, golden hour").
duration	text	no	10s	Target duration (e.g. "5s", "10s").
aspect_ratio	text	no	16:9	Output aspect ratio — "16:9", "9:16", or "1:1".
reference_image	image_url	no	—	Optional reference image for subject/scene anchoring.

Steps

Phase A — Generate the One-Shot Video

Submit the plan with ONE step:

1. One-shot video — If {{reference_image}} is provided, use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-image-to-video); otherwise use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-text-to-video).
   • Prompt: {{scene}}, one continuous uncut shot, no transitions, camera slowly moves through scene, {{style}}, ultra cinematic, film grain, 4K quality
   • Aspect ratio: {{aspect_ratio}}
   • Duration: {{duration}}

After generation, present the video and suggest:

• A second angle variation
• Adding ambient sound with mmaudio-v2-video-to-video

Notes

• Emphasize "no cuts, no transitions" in the prompt for true one-shot feel.
• For portrait/vertical style (9:16), add "vertical format, smartphone framing" to the prompt.
• If the scene involves a person, suggest kling-v3.0-pro-image-to-video as an alternative for better human motion.

Trigger Keywords

one shot video, single take, continuous video, one take, cinematic shot, seamless video

Notes for the Executing Agent

• This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
• For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
• Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
