Use @Image1 as the female mercenary. Preserve her exact face, hairstyle, outfit, armor, proportions, and helmet. Opening frame: she stands in a dark abandoned spacecraft corridor, body angled slightly toward the left, helmet held against her hip, her free hand resting near her weapon. She looks into the darkness ahead, not at the camera. Shot 1 — medium tracking shot from her side. A distant metallic sound echoes through the corridor. She stops and says quietly, “Who’s there?” Cut to an over-the-shoulder shot. A tall shadow appears beneath a flickering light at the far end of the corridor. A distorted male voice answers, “You know me.” Cut back to a tight medium shot. She slowly tightens her grip and replies, “Then come closer.” The camera makes a subtle push toward her as the corridor lights flicker behind her. Cinematic sci-fi thriller, restrained dialogue, natural acting, oppressive atmosphere, strong depth, realistic lighting, clear shot transitions.
The woman in @Image 1 walks through a sunny open-air market in a Mediterranean town, in the same cream linen shirt. She picks up an orange from a stall, smells it and smiles at the vendor. Handheld tracking shot at eye level, bright midday sun, warm natural colors, shallow depth of field. Market chatter and footsteps, no music.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Describe the scene, action, camera movement and mood. Refer to reference media as @Image 1, @Video 1, @Audio 1 in upload order. |
| reference_images | No | Up to 10 reference image URLs. |
| reference_videos | No | Up to 5 reference video URLs. Each is counted as at least 2 seconds; each clip and the combined input are capped at 30 seconds. |
| reference_audios | No | Up to 5 reference audio URLs, 30 seconds in total. |
| duration | No | Video length in whole seconds, 4–30. Default: 5. |
| aspect_ratio | No | 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 or 21:9. Default: 16:9. |
| resolution | No | 480p or 720p. Default: 720p. |
| generate_audio | No | Generate synchronized audio. Default: true. |
4–30 seconds, 480p or 720p.| Resolution | Per second | 5 seconds | 10 seconds | 30 seconds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.12 | $0.60 | $1.20 | $3.60 |
| 720p | $0.24 | $1.20 | $2.40 | $7.20 |
Pricing is based on the selected generation duration, from 4 to 30 whole seconds.
Reference-video duration and the selected generation duration use the same per-second rate:
| Resolution | Per second |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.075 |
| 720p | $0.15 |
Each reference video is counted as at least 2 seconds, each clip and the combined input are capped at 30 seconds, and the combined input duration is rounded up to a whole second.
Example: 5 seconds of reference input plus a selected generation duration of 5 seconds costs $0.75 at 480p or $1.50 at 720p.

time.sleep(2)Seedance 2.5 Flash Reference To Video is a ByteDance model for reference-guided video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance 2.5 Flash Reference-to-Video creates videos guided by text and optional image, video, and audio references, with 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/reference-to-video.
Seedance 2.5 Flash Reference 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`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`, `reference_images`, `generate_audio`. 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/reference-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.
