The Process API enables you to generate videos and images from text, or transform existing media with style transfer. Perfect for building content creation tools, media processing pipelines, batch transformations, and creative applications.

​
Video

​
Video Generation

Generate videos from text prompts: 
const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-t2v"),
  prompt: "A serene lake at sunset with mountains in the background",
  seed: 42,
  resolution: "1080p",
  orientation: "landscape",
});

const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(result);
Parameters:
  • prompt (required) - Text description of the video to generate
  • seed (optional) - Random seed for reproducible results
  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution (e.g., “720p”, “1080p”)
  • orientation (optional) - Output orientation (“landscape”, “portrait”)
Model: lucy-pro-t2v

​
Image Animation

Animate static images into videos: 
const fileInput = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
const imageFile = fileInput.files[0];

const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-i2v"),

  seed: 123,
  resolution: "1080p",
});
Parameters:

  • seed (optional) - Random seed for reproducible results
  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution

​
Video Editing

Transform and restyle existing videos: 
const fileInput = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
const videoFile = fileInput.files[0];

const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-v2v"),
  prompt: "Convert to anime style with vibrant colors",
  data: videoFile,
  enhance_prompt: true,
  num_inference_steps: 50,
});
You can also use URLs as input: 
const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-v2v"),
  prompt: "Watercolor painting style",
  data: "https://example.com/video.mp4",
});
Parameters:
  • prompt (required) - Text description of the style transformation
  • data (required) - Input video (File, Blob, URL string, or ReadableStream)

  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution
  • enhance_prompt (optional) - Auto-enhance the prompt for better results
  • num_inference_steps (optional) - Number of inference steps (pro model only)
Model: lucy-dev-v2v, lucy-pro-v2v

​
Video Transitions

Generate smooth transitions between two frames: 
const startImage = document.getElementById("start-input").files[0];
const endImage = document.getElementById("end-input").files[0];

const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-flf2v"),
  prompt: "Smooth cinematic transition with natural motion",
  start: startImage,
  end: endImage,
  resolution: "1080p",
});
Parameters:
  • prompt (required) - Text description of the transition
  • start (required) - First frame image (File, Blob, URL, or ReadableStream)
  • end (required) - Last frame image
  • seed (optional) - Random seed for reproducible results
  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution
Model: lucy-pro-flf2v

​
Image

​
Image Generation

Generate images from text prompts: 
const result = await client.process({
  model: models.image("lucy-pro-t2i"),
  prompt: "A futuristic cityscape at night with neon lights",
  seed: 42,
  orientation: "portrait",
  resolution: "1080p",
});

const img = document.querySelector("img");
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(result);
Parameters:
  • prompt (required) - Text description of the image to generate
  • seed (optional) - Random seed for reproducible results
  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution
  • orientation (optional) - Output orientation (“landscape”, “portrait”)
Model: lucy-pro-t2i

​
Image Editing

Transform and restyle existing images: 
const imageFile = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').files[0];

const result = await client.process({
  model: models.image("lucy-pro-i2i"),
  prompt: "Oil painting style with impressionist brushstrokes",
  data: imageFile,
  enhance_prompt: true,
  seed: 123,
});
Parameters:
  • prompt (required) - Text description of the style transformation
  • data (required) - Input image (File, Blob, URL, or ReadableStream)
  • seed (optional) - Random seed for reproducible results
  • resolution (optional) - Output resolution
  • enhance_prompt (optional) - Auto-enhance the prompt for better results
Model: lucy-pro-i2i

​
Input Types

The data, start, and end parameters accept flexible input types: 
type FileInput = File | Blob | ReadableStream | URL | string;
Examples: 
// Browser file input
const file = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').files[0];

// Blob
const blob = new Blob([arrayBuffer], { type: 'image/jpeg' });

// URL string
const url = "https://example.com/image.jpg";

// URL object
const urlObj = new URL("https://example.com/video.mp4");

// ReadableStream (advanced)
const stream = response.body;

​
Cancellation

Cancel long-running operations using AbortController: 
const controller = new AbortController();

try {
  const result = await client.process({
    model: models.video("lucy-pro-t2v"),
    prompt: "Epic fantasy landscape with dragons",
    signal: controller.signal,
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.name === 'AbortError') {
    console.log('Generation cancelled');
  }
}

// Cancel the request
controller.abort();
You can use this to implement cancel buttons in your UI: 
let currentController: AbortController | null = null;

async function generateVideo(prompt: string) {
  // Cancel previous request if any
  currentController?.abort();
  
  currentController = new AbortController();
  
  const result = await client.process({
    model: models.video("lucy-pro-t2v"),
    prompt,
    signal: currentController.signal,
  });
  
  return result;
}

function cancelGeneration() {
  currentController?.abort();
}

​
Error Handling

The SDK throws specific errors for different failure scenarios: 
import { createDecartClient, type DecartSDKError } from "@decartai/sdk";

try {
  const result = await client.process({
    model: models.video("lucy-pro-i2v"),
    prompt: "Animate this image",
    data: imageFile,
  });
} catch (error) {
  const sdkError = error as DecartSDKError;
  
  switch (sdkError.code) {
    case "INVALID_INPUT":
      console.error("Invalid input:", sdkError.message);
      break;
    case "INVALID_API_KEY":
      console.error("Invalid API key");
      break;
    case "PROCESSING_ERROR":
      console.error("Processing failed:", sdkError.message);
      break;
    default:
      console.error("Unknown error:", sdkError.message);
  }
}
If you provide invalid inputs, you’ll get clear error messages: 
// Missing required field
await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-i2v"),
  prompt: "test",
  // Missing 'data' field
});
// Error: Invalid inputs for lucy-pro-i2v: data is required
