About PixVerse C1

PixVerse C1 is PixVerse's video model positioned for film production, announced in April 2026. It handles text, image, start-and-end frame, and reference-guided generation, and it can turn a static storyboard layout into a continuous multi-shot sequence. PixVerse highlights combat choreography, fast motion, and effects such as fluid and particles. Unlike V6, it has no video extension mode.

Where it works well

PixVerse describes close-combat choreography and high-velocity motion rendered with consistent spatial relationships.
Storyboard-to-video turns a static multi-panel layout into one sequence, with scenes split from the prompt structure.
Particle, lighting, fluid and atmospheric effects are named as a focus of the model.
Clip length can be chosen in one-second steps, so a shot can match an exact action beat.

When to choose another model

There is no extend mode, so a longer scene has to be planned as separate clips or generated in a single pass.
The reference-guided mode takes images, not video clips; V6 is the choice when you need to feed existing footage in.

Use cases

Best for

Text to Video

Action sequences
Block out a fight, chase, or stunt shot where bodies and objects must keep believable weight and spatial order.
Storyboard previs
Convert drawn storyboard panels into a moving rough cut to test pacing before real production.
Effects-heavy shots
Generate water, smoke, sparks, or atmospheric scenes where lighting and particles carry the shot.

Prompt examples

Handheld tracking shot: two fencers trade fast strikes in a candlelit hall, sparks on every parry, one steps back and falls.

Using the three reference images of the heroine, show her sprinting across a rain-slick rooftop, camera low, then cut to a close-up.

Start frame: a calm harbour at dawn. End frame: the same harbour in a storm, waves breaking over the pier.

FAQ

What is PixVerse C1?

C1 is a PixVerse video generation model that the company calls its first built for film production. It combines an action engine, a visual-effects system, and storyboard conversion, and it generates clips with synchronized audio as an option.

Which inputs does it take?

Text prompts, a single image, start and end frames, and reference images for keeping characters and scenes consistent. PixVerse's platform docs list these four generation methods; video references are not part of C1.

How long can a clip be?

PixVerse documents one to fifteen seconds in one-second steps, up to 1080p. The catalog offers 360p, 540p, 720p and 1080p, so you can draft cheaply at low resolution and render the final take at full quality.

Does it generate sound?

Yes, optionally. A switch in the PixVerse API turns synchronized audio on for all of its generation modes. Leave it off if you plan to score the clip separately.

Should I choose C1 or V6?

Pick C1 for action, effects, and storyboard-driven shots. Pick V6 when you need to extend a clip, supply reference videos, or want its multi-shot generation from a single prompt.

How much does PixVerse C1 cost?

On TokenLab, PixVerse C1 costs $0.03-$0.12 per second. The pricing table above shows the full breakdown. Rates depend on the billing unit, specification, and usage. Compare matching conditions in the model's detailed pricing; a single rate does not determine the total cost.
