Provide a URL to the image for relighting. Use S3 URLs for consistent results.
Set video length in seconds. Opt for 5 seconds for quick previews, 10 for detailed scenes.
Allowed values:
Detail the animation scene vividly. E.g., A sunset beach scene with waves lapping, people playing, sky turning orange.
Choose video clarity; 720p for most uses, 480p for faster processing.
Allowed values:
Define a seed for consistent outputs. Any number 1-999999 suffices.
min : 1,
max : 999999
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
- •Be Specific
- •Setting: “Sunset beach with rolling waves.”
- •Action: “Surfers riding close to camera.”
- •Camera: “Wide-to-close pan over the shoreline.”
- •Style & Lighting
- •“Photorealistic dawn mist,” “Cyberpunk neon reflections on wet asphalt.”
- •Multi-Shot Sequencing
- •Use “dolly in,” “track left,” “cut to close-up.”
- •Duration Choice
- •5s: Fast A/B tests, thumbnails, previews.
- •10s: Narrative beats, longer camera moves, stable storytelling.
- •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.
By following these guidelines and parameter presets, you’ll achieve stable frames, accurate prompt fidelity, and cinematic polish with Seedance 1.0—whether creating a rapid storyboard or a full 10-second hero sequence.
