Video generation

PixVerse C1

C1 is PixVerse's first model aimed at film production, announced in April 2026. PixVerse states it generates up to 1080p and 15 seconds with native audio-visual output, and adds storyboard-to-video: scene segmentation is handled automatically from the prompt structure across text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-guided modes.

Supported aspect ratios is not established here. That means no page we could retrieve stated it, not that the model lacks one.

Strengths

  • Storyboard-to-video with automatic scene segmentation from prompt structure
  • 15 seconds with native audio at up to 1080p
  • Reference-guided consistency aimed specifically at multi-shot continuity
  • Same endpoints also cover transition and fusion (reference-to-video) modes

Weaknesses

  • 1080p ceiling; no 2K or 4K
  • 1080p with audio is the most expensive PixVerse tier at 24 credits/s
  • Credit-to-dollar pricing is only expressible through an example, not a published rate
  • Newer than V6 and less broadly documented

MCP servers that front PixVerse

Servers in the media MCP directory whose own description or homepage names this vendor. Absence of a server here is not evidence that none exists: most publish no tool list at all.

Shotcraft hosts no sample output. Judging a model means watching its own showreel with your own eyes, and a clip re-hosted here would be a clip we chose.
