Parameters

Input parameters accepted by this model

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
`prompt`	string	Text description of the video. Tag reference assets as @Image1, @Video1, @Audio1 and say what each one contributes. Required.	-
`first_frame_url`	url	Starting frame. Forces the output aspect ratio to match this image. Cannot be combined with reference assets.	-
`last_frame_url`	url	Ending frame. Requires first_frame_url.	-
`reference_images`	array	Up to 30 reference images. Cannot be combined with first/last frames.	-
`reference_videos`	array	Up to 10 reference videos, 30s combined.	-
`reference_video_seconds`	number	Combined length of reference_videos, in seconds. Seedance meters input video as well as output, so this is billed on top of duration. An ESTIMATE only. It is refined from the provider's own meter at settlement and the difference is refunded. Omit it and reference-video runs reserve the full 30s budget. min: 1 \| max: 30	-
`reference_audios`	array	Up to 10 reference audio tracks, 30s combined. Seedance 2.5 accepts audio-only references.	-
`resolution`	enum	Output resolution. Seedance 2.5 supports 480p, 720p, and 1080p. `480p720p1080p`	`720p`
`aspect_ratio`	enum	Output aspect ratio. Ignored (forced to "adaptive") when a first frame or a reference video is supplied, because the model matches that input. `16:94:31:13:49:16`+2 more	`16:9`
`duration`	integer	Clip length in seconds (4-30), or -1 to let the model choose. -1 is billed at 30s and refunded down on settle. min: -1 \| max: 30	`5`
`generate_audio`	boolean	Generate a native audio track (11 languages supported).	`true`
`thinking`	boolean	Let the model reason about the prompt before generating. Most useful on long multi-beat prompts. Costs no extra credits. Off by default.	`false`

Use saved characters (@Name)

Write @Name in the prompt to use a character, product, outfit, location, prop or style saved in the account's Character Studio, for example "@Mara on a beach at sunset". Its photos are added to reference_images automatically, after any images you send yourself, so your own image numbering is unchanged. List saved names with GET /api/v1/characters and save new ones with POST /api/v1/characters. An @word that names nothing saved stays plain text.
