Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Seedance 2.5 Flash Image-to-Video Turbo animates a start image using text instructions, with an optional last frame, 480p to 4K output, and optional generated audio. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Seedance 2.5 Flash Image-to-Video Turbo animates a start image into a cinematic video, with an optional last frame. Choose a duration of 4 to 30 seconds, 720p or 1080p output, and optional synchronized audio.
> Turbo: this tier generates at 480p and upscales the result to your chosen resolution, which makes it faster and cheaper than the standard tier. Use the standard product for native quality, or for 4k.
Why Choose This?
-
Native audio
Enable audio generation for dialogue, sound effects and ambience. -
Director-style prompt control
Direct camera movement, lighting, performance, atmosphere and pacing through the prompt. -
Up to 30 seconds
Generate clips from 4 to 30 seconds in one request. -
720p or 1080p output
Choose the resolution that fits the job. The video is generated at 480p and upscaled.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Start image URL. |
| prompt | Yes | Describe the motion, camera movement and mood. |
| last_image | No | Optional last-frame image URL. |
| duration | No | Video length in whole seconds, 4–30. Default: 5. |
| resolution | No | 720p or 1080p. The video is generated at 480p and upscaled. Default: 720p. |
| generate_audio | No | Generate synchronized audio. Default: true. |
How to Use
- Provide a start image and optionally add a last-frame image.
- Write your prompt describing the action and camera movement.
- Set duration and resolution:
4–30whole seconds,720por1080p. - Submit and retrieve the output URL.
Pricing
Output only
| Resolution | Per second | 5 seconds | 10 seconds | 30 seconds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | $0.14 | $0.70 | $1.40 | $4.20 |
| 1080p | $0.16 | $0.80 | $1.60 | $4.80 |
Pricing is based on the selected generation duration, from 4 to 30 whole seconds.
Best Use Cases
- Ad and social creative: test concepts and produce short clips in volume.
- Concept visualization: turn ideas into motion previews for pitching and storyboarding.
- Audio-driven scenes: clips with synchronized sound for ambience, music or narrative moments.
Pro Tips
- Write prompts like a shot list: subject, action, camera, lighting, mood.
- Start with a short duration while testing a prompt, then lengthen once the direction works.
