Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video
Generated on PixelDojo with Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video costs 12 credits for the cheapest clip we could run, 3 seconds at 720p, and it took about 4 minutes from request to finished file on August 26, 2026. The mode starts from nothing but a text prompt, no reference image required. This page covers the real charge, the measured turnaround, a real duration limit the documentation does not fully explain, and what the output actually looks like frame by frame.

Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video
What text-to-video mode gets you
No reference image needed
We sent only a prompt, a paper-craft fox walking through a folded-paper forest, stop-motion style. The mode is meant for scenes you can fully describe in words rather than ones anchored to a photo.
The documented duration floor is wrong in practice
The tool's own schema allows a duration of 2 seconds. We tried 2 first and the request failed instantly: 'duration must be between 3 and 15 seconds, got 2.' The real floor, enforced by the provider, is 3.
720p or 1080p, priced per second
720p runs 4 credits per second, 1080p runs 6. At the 3 second floor that is 12 credits or 18 credits, before you touch duration.
Two engine versions
Version 1.0 is the default for this mode and what this run used. Version 1.1 is available at a lower per-second rate by passing version explicitly.
Five aspect ratios on the base schema
16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, and 3:4 are all documented options, though this specific text-to-video variant fixes mode server-side rather than letting you toggle it.
What came back
A 1280 by 720, 24 frames per second H.264 clip, about 3 seconds of playable video, 2.2 megabytes. Measured directly with ffprobe against the downloaded file.
One text prompt, no image, one run on August 26, 2026: 12 credits, about 4 minutes, a 1280 by 720 clip.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
12 credits, no source image
Nothing to prepare beyond a text prompt. The 3 second minimum at 720p is 12 credits flat.
About 4 minutes, measured
240 seconds from submission to a finished file on August 26, 2026, after correcting our duration to the real 3 second floor.
A real duration correction, saved for you
We hit the 2 second rejection so this page can tell you the true minimum before you spend a credit finding out.
How It Works
How we ran it, so you can repeat it:
Write a scene you do not need a photo for
Our prompt described a paper-craft fox and a folded-paper forest, nothing that required a reference image.
Use 3 seconds as your real floor
We first tried duration 2 and it failed instantly against the provider, not our schema. 3 is the number that actually runs.
Run it in the app or over the API
Generate from the Happy Horse page's text-to-video mode, or POST to /api/v1/models/happyhorse-1.0-t2v/run. Ours took about 4 minutes and charged 12 credits.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Happy Horse 1.0 Text-to-Video
What does Happy Horse Text-to-Video cost?
4 credits per second at 720p, 6 at 1080p, with a real 3 second minimum. The cheapest clip is 12 credits.
How fast is Happy Horse Text-to-Video?
About 4 minutes in our August 26, 2026 run, measured from submission to the finished file. Turnaround depends on Alibaba's queue at request time.
Can I really request a 2 second clip?
The schema accepts a duration of 2 in the request body, but the provider rejects it with a clear error. Use 3 as the real floor and you will not lose the request.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/happyhorse-1.0-t2v/run with your API key and a prompt. Add resolution, duration, and version to control price and quality.
How is this different from the Image-to-Video mode?
Image-to-Video needs a first frame image and animates from it. Text-to-Video needs no image at all, only a prompt describing the whole scene.
How is this different from Reference?
Reference takes one or more subject images and drives them through a scene the prompt describes. Text-to-Video has no image input at all.
