            Text prompt, **required**


            **Length limits:**

            - Chinese: up to `2500` characters

            - Non-Chinese: up to `5000` characters

            - Excess content is automatically truncated


            **Character reference convention (important):**

            - The prompt must explicitly use `character1`, `character2`,
            `character3` ... keywords to reference images in `image_urls` in
            order

            - The 1st image corresponds to `character1`, the 2nd to
            `character2`, and so on

            - Missing explicit references may cause character confusion
          example: >-
            A woman in a red qipao character1, the camera first frames the slim
            cut of the qipao from a side medium shot, then switches to a
            low-angle upward shot capturing details as she gracefully lifts her

          description: >-
            Reference image URL array, **required**, **1 ~ 9 images**


            **Image requirements:**

            - Supported formats: JPEG, JPG, PNG, WEBP

            - Resolution: short edge ≥ `400` px; 720P or higher quality images
            are recommended (avoid extremely small, blurry, or heavily
            compressed images)

            - Recommended aspect ratio: short edge / long edge ≥ `0.4`, with
            consistent proportions across images (close to the target video
            ratio)

            - File size: ≤ `10MB` per image

            - Image URLs must be **publicly accessible (HTTP or HTTPS)**;
            private OSS, intranet, or authenticated links are not supported


            **Order:** Array order corresponds to `character1`, `character2` ...
            references in the prompt
          items:
            type: string
            format: uri
          minItems: 1

            HTTPS callback URL for task completion


            **Callback timing:**

            - Triggered when the task is completed, failed, or cancelled

            - Sent after billing confirmation is complete


            **Security restrictions:**

            - Only HTTPS protocol is supported

            - Callbacks to private IP addresses are prohibited (127.0.0.1,
            10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.)

            - URL length must not exceed `2048` characters


            **Callback mechanism:**

            - Timeout: `10` seconds

            - Up to `3` retries after failure (at `1`/`2`/`4` seconds after
            failure respectively)

            - Callback response body format is consistent with the task query
            endpoint response format

            - A 2xx status code is considered successful; other status codes
            trigger retries
