Drone-Style Video

Generate aerial drone-perspective footage — sweeping bird's-eye views, orbit shots, and flyover sequences for landscapes, architecture, and events.

Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description | |:---|:---|:---|:---|:---| | location_or_subject | text | yes | — | What to shoot from above (e.g. "mountain valley at sunrise", "luxury villa by the ocean", "crowded city intersection"). | | shot_type | text | no | reveal | Camera movement style — 'reveal' (ascend & reveal), 'orbit' (circle subject), 'flyover' (pass over), 'top-down' (bird's eye static). | | style | text | no | golden hour, cinematic, 4K, ultra-detailed | Visual atmosphere (e.g. "dramatic storm clouds", "misty morning", "blue hour city lights"). | | aspect_ratio | text | no | 16:9 | Output aspect ratio. | | reference_image | image_url | no | — | Optional aerial/location reference image. |

Steps

Phase A — Generate Drone Footage

Submit the plan with ONE step:

1. Aerial video — If {{reference_image}} is provided, use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-image-to-video); otherwise use muapi video generate (model=veo3.1-text-to-video).

• Build prompt based on {{shot_type}}:
• reveal: Drone camera starts low, slowly ascends and reveals {{location_or_subject}}, sweeping wide aerial perspective, {{style}}
• orbit: Drone camera orbits {{location_or_subject}} in a smooth circular arc, 360-degree aerial rotation, {{style}}
• flyover: Drone camera flies low and fast over {{location_or_subject}}, tracking forward momentum, depth of field, {{style}}
• top-down: Perfect overhead bird's eye view of {{location_or_subject}}, drone looking straight down, minimal distortion, {{style}}
• Append to all prompts: DJI-quality drone footage, stabilized gimbal, no shake, cinematic color grade, photorealistic
• Aspect ratio: {{aspect_ratio}}

After generation, offer:

• A different shot type variation
• Adding wind/ambient audio via mmaudio-v2-video-to-video
• Upscaling via ai-video-upscaler-pro

Notes

• For architecture, emphasize "slow orbit to reveal full building facade".
• For landscapes, use "magic hour lighting" for the best results.
• veo3.1-text-to-video produces the best physics and camera motion for aerial scenes.

Notes for the Executing Agent

• This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
• For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
• Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
