Product Updates

Added Error Codes For Invalid File Path

We added 3 API error codes to identify invalid file path issues. You can get the error details using the GET /v1/image-projects/:id and GET /v1/video-projects/:id endpoints by accessing .error.code and .error.message fields.

Improved Model / Garment Detection For Small Images

We make improvements to our model and garment detection to better find subjects in low resolution images.

Previously, you would get the error Please use an image with a detectable model or Please use an image with a detectable outfit.

AI Clothes Changer Quality Upgrade

We released an improved version of AI Clothes changer with higher quality to paid users only. This version has better masking, less errors, and preserves elements more of the original image, like hair.

Faster Rendering for AI Headshot and Face Swap Photo

We optimized our AI Headshot Generator and Face Swap Photo tools, cutting rendering times drastically.

Improved face detection in Multi-Face Swap

We improved face detection accuracy in Multi-Face Swap for images with zoomed in faces.

Multi Face Swap Just Got Better! 🚀

We’ve improved our Multi Face Swap mode — now with 2.5x faster processing and higher quality!

Added .m4v File Support

All APIs and web UIs now allows files with .m4v extension. All SDKs are updated to reflect this change.

• Python SDK v0.9.3
• Node SDK v0.9.3
• Go SDK v0.9.3
• Rust SDK v0.9.3

Customizable Caption Templates! 🎉

We’ve added customization options to give you control over your subtitles appearance. You can now customize:

• Vertical and horizontal position.

Animation and Video-to-Video APIs Now Allow File URLs.

To make it easier to use input files, we have now updated final two endpoints to support file urls for input files:

• POST /v1/animation
• POST /v1/video-to-video

Now, you won’t have to upload files to our storage first before calling these two APIs.

res = client.v1.video_to_video.create(
    assets={
        "video_source": "file",
        "video_file_path": "https://cdn.yourwebsite.com/files/video.mp4"
    }
)

Generate Subtitle for 3+ Minutes Videos

We added the Auto Subtitle Generator to our dashboard! The max duration of our current tool is 30 seconds. We have now expanded the max to 10,000 frames. This means you can generate videos of length:

• 6.9 minutes at 24fps
• 5.5 minutes at 30fps

Added high_quality Param to Image-to-Video API

We previously introduced a High Quality checkbox to the web app. Now, our API supports high quality generation as well. As a quick recap, “High Quality” is better at detail preservation, ideal for humans and complex images.

To use high quality mode, simply add .style.high_quality param when calling the API.

{
    "style": {
+        "high_quality": true
    }
}

File URL Support for 5 different APIs.

To make it easier to work with input files, we added support for file urls for the following APIs:

• POST /v1/ai-headshot-generator
• POST /v1/ai-image-upscaler
• POST /v1/image-background-remover
• POST /v1/image-to-video
• POST /v1/lip-sync

Now you don’t have to upload the file to Magic Hour storage first before using the asset in the APIs. Simply use the url in the file_path inputs:

{
  "audio_file_path": "https://cdn.yourwebsite.com/files/audio.mp3",
  "image_file_path": "https://cdn.yourwebsite.com/files/image.png",
  "video_file_path": "https://cdn.yourwebsite.com/files/video.mp4"
}
