Pixverse V4: pick the row, not the brand (5s, 8s, 40cr)

Pixverse V4 is one catalog generate. Use it because this job matches this row. The description is short on purpose: "Pixverse version 4 for creative video generation." Category is text-to-video. It does not require an image. Audio is not listed. Durations are 5s and 8s. Credits are 40. That is the spec. The brand name is not a reason to pick it; the spec is.

Later PixVerse rows exist on the PixVerse roster. V6, 5.6, effects, transitions — different slugs, different jobs. V4 is the 5s-or-8s creative text-to-video line at 40 credits. If you needed image-to-video, a 10-second hold, or native dialogue, you are not on V4 no matter how much you like the logo.

V4 is a duration pair, not a promise

supports_durations is 5s and 8s. There is no 3s draft and no 15s scene. Write a five-second shot or an eight-second shot. A twenty-second story is two or three generates and an edit, not a longer V4.

Aspects are 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1. Qualities include 360p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p. Frame rates are 24fps and 30fps. Motion levels are Low, Medium, and High. Styles listed: Cinematic, Documentary, Abstract. Use those knobs. Do not invent a 4K toggle the row does not publish — max_output_resolution is empty.

Requires no image. The AI video generator will run it from text. If you already own a locked still, a text-to-video row will ignore that still unless the slug is image-to-video. Which mode to use is the fork.

Creative is not reference-locked

"Creative video generation" means the model invents the frame. It will not hold a SKU you never uploaded. It will not hold a spokesperson's face across a pack. For that, leave V4. Best reference-to-video is the other category.

Audio is unset on the snapshot. Do not assume a native soundtrack, and do not assume silence. If the brief is dialogue, pick a row where audio is true and write the line. If the brief is mute B-roll, V4's 5s / 8s pair at 40 credits is a reasonable creative pass — then caption and score downstream.

Forty credits for one of two lengths

40 credits is the catalog price for this generate. It is not a bundle of every PixVerse model. It is not a 15-second clip. Spend it when the job is: text in, short creative clip out, 5 or 8 seconds, no first-frame contract.

The best text-to-video list is how you compare the rest of the category. Best PixVerse model is the family ranking. This page is only V4. Pick the row. Ignore the brand heat.

If the shot needs a still as frame one, stop. If it needs 10 seconds, stop. If it needs a voice baked in, stop. Those are other rows. V4 is 5s, 8s, 40 credits, text-to-video.

FAQ

Is Pixverse V4 image-to-video?

No. Category is text-to-video. requires_image is false. Upload-a-frame jobs belong on an image-to-video slug.

Can I make a 10-second V4 clip?

Not as one generate. Listed durations are 5s and 8s. Chain two clips in an editor or change models.

Does V4 include native audio?

The catalog does not set audio on this row. Do not plan a talking-head pipeline on a field that is empty. Use a text-to-video row with audio: true when speech is the product.

Why use V4 instead of a newer PixVerse slug?

Because this job matches this row: creative text-to-video, 5s or 8s, 40 credits, 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1. Newer is a different spec, not a free upgrade of this one.
