Seedance 2.5 - Text to Video

Try Seedance 2.5 - Text to Video in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: bytedance-seedance-2-5-text-to-video ByteDance Seedance 2.5 generates video from a text prompt, with synchronized audio on by default. Supports 480p, 720p, and 1080p output (1080p uses 10-bit color and H.265/HEVC encoding), durations from 4 to 30 seconds, and multiple aspect ratios. Draft mode renders a quick 480p preview for checking the scene, motion, and prompt. Its draft task ID then renders the final 1080p video with the same prompt, media, and settings, and stays valid for seven days after the draft is created.

Example request

Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

Sync
Async
Async with SSE

This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer Async or Async with SSE for anything beyond quick experimentation.See the video generation reference for more details.

Request parameters

Required parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`prompt`	`string`	—	The text prompt used to generate the video.

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`generate_audio`	`boolean`	`true`	Whether to generate synchronized audio for the video, including sound effects, ambient sounds, and lip-synced speech.
`aspect_ratio`	`string`	`"16:9"`	Aspect Ratio One of: adaptive, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16.
