API Integration

Cinema Studio uses the standard Muapi.ai image generation endpoint:

import { buildNanoBananaPrompt } from './lib/promptUtils.js';

const finalPrompt = buildNanoBananaPrompt(
  "A female warrior on a cliff at sunset",
  "Modular 8K Digital",
  "Classic Anamorphic",
  50,
  "f/1.4"
);

const result = await muapi.generateImage({
  model: 'nano-banana-pro',
  prompt: finalPrompt,
  aspect_ratio: '21:9',
  resolution: '2k',
  negative_prompt: 'blurry, low quality, distortion, bad composition'
});
