Endpoint

POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video-edit/veed-standard

Send your API key as a bearer token. The key needs the scope api:write. Every paid request also needs an Idempotency-Key header.

The envelope fields quote_only, quote_id, webhook_url and wait_timeout_seconds behave the same on each model endpoint. Refer to Jobs and Quotes and credits.

Good at

Cut-outs that a viewer sees at full size: hair, fur, thin objects, transparent objects. Same input schema as /v1/video-edit/veed-fast; choose Fast for speed and price. Use /v1/video-edit/bria for a solid background color, another container, or kept audio. It has no prompt and no creative control.

Pricing

The unit is one source_30_frames. Pricing key: veed-standard.

RequestCredits
10s_source_30fps2
10s_source_24fps2
10s_source_30fps_refine3
60s_source_30fps11
60s_source_30fps_refine17

The credits come from the roasOS pricing table. roasOS counts the frames of the source video. One unit is 30 frames, rounded up: a 5-second clip at 24 fps has 120 frames, which is 4 units. All frame rates are accepted. refine_foreground_edges: true uses the higher rate per unit. No other field changes the price. To get the exact price of your request, send it with quote_only: true first.

The schema is strict. A field that is not in this table gets 400 unsupported_option. The field names are the roasOS role names. One role has one name in every family.

Media

This endpoint accepts these media roles:

  • video_url — the source video
RoleItemsMaximum sizeContent typesDuration
video_url≤ 1100 MBvideo/mp4, video/quicktime0–600 s

Every other role is refused: avatar_id, elements, product_id, product_images, references, reference_images, image_url, end_image_url, scene_id, scene_image, video_urls, audio_urls, audio_url, voice_id. A refused role gets 400 unsupported_option.

Each media URL must be an immutable object on https://cdn.roasos.com that your workspace owns. Any other URL gets 400 reference_media_not_workspace_owned. Refer to Reference media and uploads to learn how to put a file there.

Prompt

None.

Not exposed

These catalog entries describe omitted inputs, pinned values and source constraints. They do not imply that the provider accepts every listed field.

  • output_codec — pinned to vp9.

Result

The result kind is video. Always present: url.

    "status": "completed",
    "result": {

Example

The three steps are always the same: quote, run, poll.

# 1. Quote. Nothing is spent.
curl -X POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video-edit/veed-standard \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..." \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 0f1c9e2a-veed-standard-0001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"quote_only":true,"video_url":"https://cdn.roasos.com/workspaces/ws_01/uploads/video_url.mp4"}'
# 200 { "data": { "kind": "quote", "quote_id": "q_7Hk...", "credits": 2, "expires_at": "...",
#        "confirmation": { "model": "veed-standard", "example": "10s_source_30fps" } } }

# 2. Run. Same body, same Idempotency-Key, quote_id in place of quote_only.
curl -X POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video-edit/veed-standard \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..." \

  -d '{"quote_id":"q_7Hk...","video_url":"https://cdn.roasos.com/workspaces/ws_01/uploads/video_url.mp4"}'
# 201 { "data": { "id": "gen_...", "status": "queued", "credits_reserved": 2 } }

# 3. Poll, then read the result.
curl https://api.roasos.com/v1/jobs/gen_.../status -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..."

Today

POST /v1/video-edit/veed-standard is live, with the same rules as /v1/video-edit/veed-fast: the measured frame count of the source sets the price (one unit is 30 frames, rounded up), all frame rates are accepted, and refine_foreground_edges: true uses the higher rate per unit.
