## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability treza-labs-short-video-generator-bac623f9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Make me a 30-second vertical short video about the benefits of cold plunge therapy, using animated scenes and the Brian voice narrator.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a complete, production-ready short-form social video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) from just a text topic, without managing multiple AI services yourself. It bundles scriptwriting, scene generation, voiceover, music, and captions into a single paid call with no account setup required. Prefer the stills style ($0.87) for cost-sensitive use cases and motion style ($3.22) when animated scenes are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too vague or ambiguous leading to poor script quality
- Async mode not used for long generation times causing timeout
- Invalid voice enum value returning a validation error
- Payment not processed correctly (x402 credential failure)
- Scene generation failure for certain visual topics
- Rate limiting if many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

Narrated short video from a topic: a finished 30-second vertical (9:16) video with a written script, four scenes, an ElevenLabs narrator, a music bed, captions and callouts, plus a title and description. Animated scenes (Veo 3.1 Lite) $3.22, or stills $0.87. No account or API key: the payment is the only credential.

## Output

A finished 30-second 9:16 vertical video file (or a 202 status with a statusUrl for async), accompanied by a written script, four generated scenes (animated via Veo 3.1 Lite or static stills), an ElevenLabs narration track, a music bed, captions/callouts, and a title and description for the video.
