Get started with Decart’s video transformation API in just a few steps.
Prerequisites
Set your API key as an environment variable to keep it secure:export DECART_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
.env file and use a package like dotenv to load it. Quick test with our example video
Download and transform a sample video in one command:
# Download our example video and transform it
curl -o example-video.mp4 -L "https://docs.platform.decart.ai/assets/example-video.mp4"
curl -X POST https://api.decart.ai/v1/generate/lucy-pro-v2v \
-H "X-API-KEY: $DECART_API_KEY" \
-F "data=@example-video.mp4" \
-F "prompt=Turn this into anime style" \
--output transformed.mp4
Install an SDK
npm install @decartai/sdk
Using the SDKs
Transform videos programmatically with our SDKs:
JavaScript (Browser)
JavaScript (Node.js)
Python
cURL
import { createDecartClient, models } from "@decartai/sdk";
const client = createDecartClient({
apiKey: process.env.DECART_API_KEY,
});
// Get video from file input
const fileInput = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
const file = fileInput.files[0];
const result = await client.process({
model: models.video("lucy-pro-v2v"),
prompt: "Transform into Studio Ghibli animation style",
data: file,
enhance_prompt: true,
});
// Display the result
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(result);
The enhance_prompt: true option tells Decart to enhance your simple prompt into a more detailed description for better results.
| Prompt | Result Style |
|---|
| ”Anime cartoon style” | Japanese animation aesthetic |
| ”Oil painting” | Classical painted artwork |
| ”Cyberpunk with neon lights” | Futuristic sci-fi atmosphere |
