Verdicts

framefields

A free Apache-2.0 library that renders video from TypeScript on the GPU, with lint and QA codes an agent can act on. It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.

PixVerse API

V6 at about $0.04 a second at 720p, with audio and clips up to 15 seconds. Plan prices and the dollar value of a credit sit on a JavaScript-only billing page.

Before you call either

framefields

  1. Add the plugin with /plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.
  2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing skia.node.
  3. Check with comp.lint() and renderFrameGrid before a full renderVideo encode.
  4. Call process.exit() after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.
  5. Preload vision models into FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR for offline or CI renders.

PixVerse API

  1. Generate a new UUID for Ai-trace-id on every new submit. Reuse it only to fetch the same job again
  2. Poll the result endpoint. Status 1 is done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed
  3. Moderate prompts before calling. Repeated status 7 results can suspend the key
  4. Use model v6 or c1 for new work. Older model tables still sit in the docs
