// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint

- `full` Checks all frames.

### [ttl](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-ttl)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `60`

Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when `outputType` is `URL`.

### [includeCost](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-includecost)

- **Type**: `boolean`
- **Default**: `false`

Include task cost in the response.

### [numberResults](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-numberresults)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `1`
- **Max**: `4`
- **Default**: `1`

Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

**Inputs**

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the \`inputs\` object.

### [frameImages](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-inputs-frameimages)

- **Path**: `inputs.frameImages`
- **Type**: `array of strings or objects`

An array of frame-specific image inputs to guide video generation. Each item can be either a plain image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64) or an object that pairs an image with a target frame position.

The `frameImages` parameter allows you to constrain specific frames within the video sequence, ensuring that particular visual content appears at designated points. This is different from `referenceImages`, which provide overall visual guidance without constraining specific timeline positions.

When the `frame` parameter is omitted, automatic distribution rules apply:

- **1 image**: Used as the first frame.
- **2 images**: First and last frames.

**Examples**:

**Shorthand format:** When you don't need to specify a frame position, you can pass a plain image input directly.

```json
"frameImages": [
  "aac49721-1964-481a-ae78-8a4e29b91402"
]
```

**Object format:** When you need to specify a frame position, use an object with `image` and `frame`.

```json
"frameImages": [
  {
    "image": "aac49721-1964-481a-ae78-8a4e29b91402",
    "frame": "first"
  }
]
```

**First and last frames:** With two images, they automatically become the first and last frames of the video sequence. You can mix shorthand and object formats.

```json
"frameImages": [
  "aac49721-1964-481a-ae78-8a4e29b91402",
  {
    "image": "3ad204c3-a9de-4963-8a1a-c3911e3afafe",
    "frame": "last"
  }
]
```

**Format 1: string[]**:

- **Type**: `string`

Image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

**Format 2: object[]**:

#### [image](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-inputs-frameimages-format-2-image)

- **Path**: `inputs.frameImages.image`
- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true

#### [frame](https://runware.ai/docs/models/pixverse-v5#request-inputs-frameimages-format-2-frame)

- **Type**: `object`

Target frame position for the image. Supports first and last frame.

**Allowed values**:

- `0` Frame index 0 (first frame).
- `-1` Frame index -1 (last frame).
