Overview

What is Muse Video?

Muse Video is Meta Superintelligence Labs' video generation model, which makes video and its sound together from a text prompt. On Zurelay it makes 720p clips of 5 to 10 seconds in 16:9 or 9:16, with the ambience, effects, music or dialogue your prompt describes. The Zurelay Muse Video API costs $0.02 per second, and a video is charged only once it's delivered.

Muse Video is a video generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, which Meta introduced on July 7, 2026, together with Muse Image, as an early preview. Meta says it does well on following the prompt, picture quality and keeping things consistent over time, and that it's still improving the sync between sound and picture and the physics of fast motion. On Zurelay it uses the model ID muse-video, and also accepts meta/muse-video.

On Zurelay, Muse Video makes video from text only: describe the subject, the action, the setting and the camera, and the sound you want, such as ambient noise, effects, dialogue or music. It doesn't take a start image or reference images. Clips are 720p, 1280 × 720 in 16:9 or 720 × 1280 in 9:16, in whole seconds from 5 to 10, and always come with sound.

Video takes time, so the API is asynchronous. POST https://api.zurelay.com/v1/videos returns a job right away; poll GET /v1/videos/{id} until its status is completed, then download the MP4 from /v1/videos/{id}/content or from the signed url in the job. A clip usually takes about 2 minutes. Videos are kept for 30 days.

Zurelay prices Muse Video by the second: $0.02 per second, so a 5 second clip costs $0.10. Sound is always included at no extra cost. The price is held from your balance when the job is accepted and charged only when the video is delivered. Videos that fail, including ones the content filter refuses, cost nothing. Meta hasn't published an API price for Muse Video.

Strengths

Where Muse Video shines. And what teams build with it.

01

Picture and sound together

Describe the sounds, music or lines in the prompt and they come with the picture in one pass.

02

Follows the prompt

Meta built Muse Video for prompt adherence, picture quality and consistency from frame to frame.

03

Low price per second

$0.02 per second at 720p with sound included, so a 10 second clip costs twice a 5 second one and no more.

04

Landscape or vertical

1280 × 720 for 16:9 or 720 × 1280 for 9:16, ready for the web or for short-form social video.

Use cases

  • Social clips

    Vertical 9:16 clips with sound for reels and shorts, straight from a prompt.

  • Scene and mood ideas

    Try a setting, a mood or a camera move before you shoot or render anything bigger.

  • B-roll and ambience

    Nature, city and studio shots with their own ambient sound, to fill an edit.

  • Many takes

    Make several takes of the same idea and keep the best one.

FAQ

Muse Video API questions.

Anything else? Ask our team and we’ll answer by email.

How much does the Muse Video API cost?

Zurelay charges $0.02 per second of video, so a 5 second clip is $0.10 and a 10 second clip twice that. Sound is always included. The price is held from your balance when the job is accepted and charged only when the video is delivered; videos that fail cost nothing.

Does Meta have its own Muse Video API?

Not publicly. Meta introduced Muse Video on July 7, 2026, and as of November 2026 its Model API offers Muse Image but not Muse Video, with no published price. Zurelay gives you API access to Muse Video through the same /v1/videos endpoint as its other video models. Zurelay is an independent service and is not affiliated with Meta.

How do I call the Muse Video API?

Send POST https://api.zurelay.com/v1/videos with your Zurelay key as a Bearer token and a JSON body: model set to muse-video, a prompt, and optionally seconds (5 to 10, default 5) and aspect_ratio (16:9 or 9:16). You get a job back right away. Poll GET /v1/videos/{id} every few seconds until its status is completed, then download the MP4 from /v1/videos/{id}/content.

Can Muse Video start from an image?

No. Muse Video on Zurelay makes video from text only, and a request with a first_frame or reference_images is refused before anything is charged. To start from an image, use a model such as Wan 3.0, Kling 4.0 or Veo 3.1 Fast.

Does Muse Video make sound?

Yes, every clip comes with sound generated with the picture. Describe what you want to hear in the prompt: ambient noise, sound effects, music or spoken lines in quotes. Meta notes that sync between sound and picture is still improving, so check lip sync on dialogue.

What resolutions, lengths and aspect ratios does Muse Video support?

720p only: 1280 × 720 for 16:9 or 720 × 1280 for 9:16, in whole seconds from 5 to 10.

How long does a Muse Video clip take?

Usually about 2 minutes; in our tests clips took one to three minutes. While you poll, the job's progress field gives an estimate from 0 to 100.
