ExamplesView all

The man throws a baseball — camera locks onto the spinning ball in an extreme close-up tracking shot as it flies through a downtown canyon of skyscrapers at high speed. Motion blur on buildings. The ball arcs upward, passes through clouds, then descends and punches through a cottage window with a shattering glass explosion. Reverse angle: inside a warm English study, an oversized ginger cat wearing a fluffy white bathrobe reclines on a vintage armchair, candy wrappers everywhere. The ball rolls to a stop at his paw. The cat glances down at it, completely unimpressed, then resumes eating a chocolate bar. Fireplace crackles. Slow zoom into the cat's judging face. Comedy, photorealistic, dramatic contrast between action and absurd calm.

Writing Effective Prompts

The input image sets the first frame — your prompt directs what happens from there. The clearer the motion and camera direction, the better the result.

1. Start from the frame

Describe the action that begins from your image: what the subject does, where it goes, how the camera moves. Don't re-describe what's already visible in the image — build on it.

The woman in the photo turns from the window and walks toward the camera; slow push-in, warm interior light.

2. Shot-by-shot timeline

For longer clips, break the motion into timed segments (1-second granularity), continuous, no gaps.

0-2s: She turns from the window, a faint smile forming. Camera holds. 2-5s: She walks toward the lens and stops mid-frame; slow push-in, shallow focus. 5-8s: She glances off-screen as light shifts from warm to cool. Handheld drift.

3. Consistency notes

Lock the look for the whole clip: camera style, lighting, palette, atmosphere, audio.

Camera language

Write these directly; the model understands them:

  • Shot size — extreme wide, wide, medium, medium close-up, close-up
  • Movement — push in, pull out, pan, track, follow, orbit, tilt up, handheld shake
  • Angle — low angle, overhead, eye-level, first-person
  • Techniques — one-shot / long take, dolly zoom, bullet time, speed ramp

For a niche term, add a plain-language gloss: "rack focus: the sharp foreground softens as the background comes into focus."

Referencing uploaded assets

When you attach images, videos, or audio, bind each one explicitly in the prompt by its upload order — @image1, @video1, @audio1 — and say what it's for. Don't rely on labels drawn inside the image itself.

  • "The knight in @image1 walks through the castle in @image2."
  • "Refer to @video1 for the camera movement only; keep its shot order."
  • "@image1 and @image2 are Character 1, voiced by @audio1."

When a reference is already accurate, just point to it — no need to re-describe it in detail.

Negative control

Positive descriptions work best, but you can suppress subtitles and audio:

  • "No subtitles."
  • "No BGM — ambient and action sounds only."
  • "No audio."

Weak vs. strong

prompt
weakmake it move
strongThe parked car in the image pulls out and drives down the wet street. 0-3s: headlights flick on, the car eases forward, reflections rippling on the asphalt. 3-6s: it accelerates past the camera, which pans to follow. Low angle, neon reflections, light rain, cinematic night mood. Engine and rain sounds, no music.

Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo API?

Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo is a ByteDance model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance 2.0 Fast (Image-to-Video Turbo) generates cinematic 720p/1080p videos from reference images using speed-optimized inference —the fastest and most affordable Seedance image-to-video option with native audio-visual synchronization and director-level control. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-2.0-fast-image-to-video-turbo.

How much does Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo cost per run?

Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo starts at $0.60 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`, `enable_web_search`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-2.0-fast-image-to-video-turbo.

How long does Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 159 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video Turbo outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
