Body Parameters

Parameter	Type	Definition
duration	`integer`	Optional. Duration of the video in seconds. Accepts `4` through `30` in whole-second increments. Defaults to `8`.
guidances	`object`	Optional. Object defining guidance inputs (e.g. reference images, audio, base video, start/end frames) that influence the result.
guidances.audio_reference	`array`	Optional. Specifies a list of audio references for guidance. Maximum 10 items. Each item includes audio.id and audio.type (`UPLOADED`, `GENERATED`), and optionally audio.duration.
guidances.end_frame	`array`	Optional. Creative reinterpretation of vibe or structure from a reference image. Maximum 1 item. Each item includes image.id and image.type (`INIT`, `GENERATION`, `UPLOADED`, `GENERATED`, `VARIATION`).
guidances.image_reference	`array`	Optional. References images to guide your video generation. Maximum 30 items. Each item includes image.id and image.type (`INIT`, `GENERATION`, `UPLOADED`, `GENERATED`, `VARIATION`), and optionally order.
guidances.start_frame	`array`	Optional. Creative reinterpretation of vibe or structure from a reference image. Maximum 1 item. Each item includes image.id and image.type (`INIT`, `GENERATION`, `UPLOADED`, `GENERATED`, `VARIATION`).
guidances.video_reference_base	`array`	Optional. Base video to be edited. Maximum 10 items. Each item includes video.id and video.type (`UPLOADED`, `GENERATED`), and optionally video.width, video.height, video.duration, video.motion_has_audio.
height	`integer`	Optional. Height of the output in pixels. Defaults to `720`.
model	`string`	Required. Specifies the model used for generation. Set to `bytedance/seedance-2.5`.
motion_has_audio	`boolean`	Optional. Whether the video generation will include audio. Defaults to `True`.
prompt	`string`	Required. The prompt to use for the generation. Maximum 5000 characters.
public	`boolean`	Optional. Controls whether the generation is public (`true`) or private (`false`).
quantity	`integer`	Required. The number of outputs to generate. Defaults to `1`. Range 1-1.
seed	`number`	Optional. The seed value for generation. Defaults to `-1`. Range -1 to 4294967295.
width	`integer`	Optional. Width of the output in pixels. Defaults to `1280`.

Dimensions

The API accepts integer width and height values in pixels. Defaults to 1280 x 720.
