Preserve both characters, the glowing flower, the greenhouse, and the framing from <Image 1>. She lifts the glowing flower slightly toward him. He leans in and asks, “Where did you find that?” She smiles faintly and replies, “It only blooms when someone is about to fall in love.” He looks from the flower to her face. The camera moves gently from the flower upward to both of their expressions. Magical romantic fantasy, soft glowing light, natural acting, cinematic greenhouse mood.
The woman brushes her hair from her face, looks toward the sea and says with a small laugh, "I could stay here forever." The wind keeps moving her hair and shirt. Slow push-in to a close-up, golden afternoon light, shallow depth of field. Waves, wind and distant gulls, no music.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.5-flash/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs.

time.sleep(2)Seedance 2.5 Flash Image To Video is a ByteDance model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance 2.5 Flash Image-to-Video animates a start image using text instructions, with an optional last frame, 480p or 720p output, and optional generated audio. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
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 Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/seedance-2.5-flash/image-to-video.
Seedance 2.5 Flash Image To Video starts at $0.24 per run or per second. 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.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `generate_audio`, `last_image`. 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/seedance-2.5-flash/image-to-video.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
