Pika V2.0 Turbo — Text-to-Video
Pika V2.0 Turbo Text-to-Video is a fast and powerful text-to-video generation model optimized for speed. Generate high-quality 720p videos from text descriptions quickly and efficiently — perfect for rapid content creation and iteration.
Why It Stands Out
- Turbo speed: Optimized for fast generation without sacrificing quality.
- HD 720p output: Generate crisp videos in landscape (1280×720) or portrait (720×1280).
- Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
- Photorealistic capability: Excellent at generating realistic, cinematic scenes.
- Flexible duration: Choose between 5 or 10 second video lengths.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the video you want to generate. |
| size | No | Output resolution: 1280×720 or 720×1280 (default: 1280×720). |
| duration | No | Video length: 5 or 10 seconds (default: 5). |
How to Use
- Write a prompt describing the scene, action, and style you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
- Select size — choose landscape (1280×720) or portrait (720×1280).
- Set duration — choose 5 or 10 seconds.
- Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
- Preview and download the result.
Best Use Cases
- Nature & Wildlife — Generate stunning nature scenes and animal footage.
- Social Media Content — Create platform-optimized videos for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
- Marketing & Advertising — Produce promotional videos and ad creatives quickly.
- Concept Visualization — Rapidly prototype video ideas before full production.
- Cinematic Scenes — Create dramatic, movie-quality scenes from descriptions.
Pricing
| Duration | Price |
|---|---|
| 5 seconds | $0.20 |
| 10 seconds | $0.40 |
Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Be detailed in your prompt — describe subject, action, environment, lighting, and style.
- Include quality keywords like "photorealistic," "8K UHD," "cinematic lighting," "masterpiece."
- Describe camera movements like "drone long shot," "tracking shot," or "close-up."
- Choose portrait (720×1280) for mobile-first platforms like TikTok.
- Start with 5-second videos to test concepts, then extend to 10 seconds for final versions.
Notes
- Processing time is optimized for speed — expect quick turnaround.
- Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
v2.0 Turbo T2v API — Quick start
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/pika/v2.0-turbo-t2v with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for v2.0 Turbo T2v below.
HTTP example
# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/pika/v2.0-turbo-t2v" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
"size": "1280*720",
"duration": 5
}'
# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"
# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].Node.js example
// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');
const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env
const result = await client.run("pika/v2.0-turbo-t2v", {
"prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
"size": "1280*720",
"duration": 5
});
console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated outputPython example
# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed
output = wavespeed.run(

What is the v2.0 Turbo T2v API?
v2.0 Turbo T2v is a Pika model for video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Pika v2.0 Turbo is a text-to-video model that supports multiple sizes and includes advanced prompt optimization for improved results. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the v2.0 Turbo T2v API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pika/pika-v2.0-turbo-t2v.
How much does v2.0 Turbo T2v cost per run?
v2.0 Turbo T2v starts at $0.20 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does v2.0 Turbo T2v accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `duration`, `size`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pika/pika-v2.0-turbo-t2v.
How long does v2.0 Turbo T2v take to generate?
Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 122 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Can I use v2.0 Turbo T2v outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Pika). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
