Pika: 2.2 supports 10-second generations, but the default is still 5

Pika: 2.2 supports 10-second generations, but the default is still 5

TL;DR

The trap is assuming a model upgrade changes your output. duration is integer seconds, min 1, max 10, default 5 on the v2.2 text-to-video endpoint. If your call was written for an older endpoint and you never set duration, moving to 2.2 changes nothing about clip length.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

Details

Set duration: 10 explicitly when you want the full ten seconds. Watch the model pin too: the v2 turbo image-to-video endpoint caps duration at [1, 5], so a workflow pinned to turbo cannot reach 10s no matter what you pass. Related defaults that surprise people on the same page: resolution is a 720p enum, not freeform, and aspect_ratio defaults to 16:9.

Context: fal.ai Pika v2.2 text-to-video API reference: the model can generate up to 10 seconds of video from a single text prompt, but the duration parameter defaults to 5 (integer, range [1, 10]). Switch to 2.2 for longer clips and you still get 5-second videos unless you pass duration explicitly.
