Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video Turbo

Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video Turbo delivers high-resolution 720p and 1080p cinematic videos with turbo generation — a faster, more affordable way to get high-resolution output with native audio-visual synchronization.

Key Features

  • Turbo output Generates 720p or 1080p with turbo-accelerated delivery.

  • Unified multimodal architecture Same Seedance 2.5 foundation handling text, image, audio, and video inputs.

  • Native audio-visual synchronization Generates video with synchronized audio in a single pass.

  • Director-level control Camera movement, lighting, shadows, and character performance controlled through prompts.

  • Exceptional motion stability Industry-leading motion coherence with stable subjects and fluid transitions.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesDetailed description of the cinematic scene
aspect_ratioNoOutput format: 16:9 (default), 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 21:9
durationNoVideo length in seconds: 4-30 (default: 5)
resolutionNoOutput resolution: 720p (default) or 1080p

Pricing

Seedance 2.5 base rate ($0.90 per 5 seconds at 480p-equivalent) plus a flat resolution surcharge of $0.10 per 5 seconds at 720p or $0.15 per 5 seconds at 1080p, prorated per second. With reference videos the base rate doubles; the surcharge stays the same.

Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video-turbo 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. Examples for Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo below.

Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo API?

Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo is a ByteDance model for video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance 2.5 (Text-to-Video Turbo) generates cinematic 720p/1080p videos from text prompts —a faster, more affordable high-resolution tier with native audio-visual synchronization, director-level control, and exceptional motion stability. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Seedance 2.5 Text 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-2.5-text-to-video-turbo.

How much does Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo cost per run?

Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo starts at $1.00 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 2.5 Text To Video Turbo accept?

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/bytedance-seedance-2.5-text-to-video-turbo.

How do I get started with the Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo API?

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.

Can I use Seedance 2.5 Text 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.
