Product updates

Magic Hour Changelog: 2024

Magic Hour product releases and feature enhancements from 2024.

November 2024

Added `max_fps_limit` to `POST /v1/lip-sync`

Added max_fps_limit to POST /v1/lip-sync

This was a feature requested by one of our API users, who wanted reduce frame usage while using APIs. Allowing to set a max_fps_limit means you limit the maximum of cost of the video.

For example, if the original video has an FPS of 60 with a duration of 10 seconds, generation would previously cost 600 frames. Now, you can pass "max_fps_limit": 24 and only be charged 240 frames.

If the video fps is lower than the max_fps_limit set, we will deduct frames based on the actual FPS of the video

You can see more details in the API Reference

Longer Videos for Face Swap and Lip Sync

We updated the maximum frames for Face Swap Video and Lip Sync from 6,000 to 20,000 frames.

Now you can generate videos that are 3.3x longer! 📈

The table summaries the length of video you can generate for a few common video FPS:

| FPS | Previous | New | | :-- | :---------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | | 24 | {Math.floor(6000 / 24 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes | {Math.floor(20000 / 24 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes | | 30 | {Math.floor(6000 / 30 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes | {Math.floor(20000 / 30 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes | | 60 | {Math.floor(6000 / 60 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes | {Math.floor(20000 / 60 / 60 / 0.1) / 10} minutes |

Select Events for Webhook

We added the ability to select specific events to send to your webhook event.

Make `name` Actually Optional in APIs

Make name Actually Optional in APIs

Currently, the name field in APIs are nullable, when it should be optional. Before this change, even if you didn't want to add a name for a particular render, you still need to pass in the key with a null value.

{
  "name": null
}

After this change, you can leave off name completely.

New AI Image APIs

Added the following AI image tools to our API:

All of our SDKs are updated with the new endpoints

Delete Generated Images on Account Deletion

When you request to delete your account, we remove all personal data, delete your information from Stripe, and erase all generated videos. We discovered that generated images were not included in this process. This has now been fixed—going forward, and we have reviewed and deleted any remaining images for previously deleted accounts.

Allow Custom Prompt for AI Image Upscaler

Now you can have more control over the upscaled image. We enabled custom prompt for "Creative" style.
