Attributes


image_urlstr *

URL to the first frame image for video generation (legacy parameter). The model will use this image as the starting frame to generate the video based on your prompt. Note: Cannot be used together with first_frame_url or last_frame_url. For new integrations, prefer using first_frame_url instead.


first_frame_urlstr ( default: 1 )

URL to the first frame image for video generation. Use this to specify the starting frame of your video. Can be used alone or together with last_frame_url. Note: Cannot be used together with image_url (reference image).


last_frame_urlstr ( default: 1 )

URL to the last frame image for video generation. Use this together with first_frame_url to specify both the starting and ending frames of your video. The model will generate smooth transitions between the two frames. Note: Requires first_frame_url to be provided.


durationenum:int *

Set video length in seconds. Opt for 5 seconds for quick previews, 10 for detailed scenes.

Allowed values:


promptstr *

Detail the animation scene vividly. E.g., A sunset beach scene with waves lapping, people playing, sky turning orange.


resolutionenum:str *

Choose video clarity; 720p for most uses, 480p for faster processing.

Allowed values:


seedint ( default: 1 )

Define a seed for consistent outputs. Any number 1-999999 suffices.

min : 1,

max : 999999


camera_fixedboolean ( default: 1 )

Whether to fix the camera position.

To keep track of your credit usage, you can inspect the response headers of each API call. The x-remaining-credits property will indicate the number of remaining credits in your account. Ensure you monitor this value to avoid any disruptions in your API usage.

# Seedance 1.0 Usage Guide

Seedance 1.0 is a text-to-video engine that transforms your prompts and reference images into coherent multi-shot videos at up to 720p. Follow this guide to tune parameters, optimize quality, and match your workflow—whether you need a quick preview or a polished cinematic cutscene.

## 1. Core Inputs  
- **prompt** (required): A vivid description of scene, action, style and camera moves.  
- **image_url** (required): S3 link to your reference or relighting image.  
- **duration** (required): 5s or 10s.  
- **resolution** (advanced): 480p (fast) or 720p (detailed).  
- **seed** (advanced, optional): Integer (1–999,999) to reproduce results.

## 2. Prompting Best Practices  
1. **Be Specific**  
   - Setting: “Sunset beach with rolling waves.”  
   - Action: “Surfers riding close to camera.”  
   - Camera: “Wide-to-close pan over the shoreline.”  
2. **Style & Lighting**  
   - “Photorealistic dawn mist,” “Cyberpunk neon reflections on wet asphalt.”  
3. **Multi-Shot Sequencing**  
   - Use “dolly in,” “track left,” “cut to close-up.”  
4. **Duration Choice**  
   - 5s: Fast A/B tests, thumbnails, previews.  
   - 10s: Narrative beats, longer camera moves, stable storytelling.  
5. **Consistency Across Runs**  
   - Fix the same seed for multiple variants or shots.

## 3. Parameter Presets by Use Case

| Use Case                    | Duration | Resolution | Seed    | Prompt Style                        |
|-----------------------------|----------|------------|---------|-------------------------------------|
| Quick Preview               | 5s       | 480p       | (none)  | “Midday forest clearing, static cam”|
| Social Media Teaser         | 5s       | 720p       | 42      | “Close-up product spin, soft lighting” |
| Storyboard & Prototyping    | 10s      | 480p       | 2023    | “Two characters talk, over-shoulder cut” |
| Game Cinematic Sequence     | 10s      | 720p       | 999999  | “Epic battle, wide shot → tight focus” |
| Mood-Board Concept Art      | 10s      | 720p       | 12345   | “Neo-Tokyo alley, rain, neon signs”    |

## 4. Tips to Maximize Quality  
- **Shorter Resolutions** reduce rendering time but lower detail.  
- **Higher Seeds** produce subtle variations; lower seeds are bolder.  
- **Iterate Quickly**: Lock prompt structure, swap only one variable per test.  
- **Combine Styles**: Photorealism + stylized color grading for unique flair.
