Question 1

What's different about the Intl endpoint?

Accepted Answer

Nothing about the request/response shape — it's the same Seedance 2.5 model, served through Seegen's Dreamina deployment for international-region traffic instead of the mainland-China Doubao deployment. Pricing carries a 10% surcharge over the equivalent Doubao-tier rate.

Question 2

What does Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video do?

Accepted Answer

It generates video directly from a text prompt describing the scene, camera movement, and atmosphere, with no image or video reference required.

Question 3

What resolution does it output?

Accepted Answer

Choose via the `resolution` parameter: `480p`, `720p` (default), `1080p`, or `4k`. Price scales with the resolution selected.

Question 4

Does it support 1080p?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pass `resolution: "1080p"` (or `"4k"`) in the request. Both are natively rendered (not upscaled) and priced above the 720p tier. The legacy dedicated [1080p](/playground/seedance-2.5-intl-text-to-video-1080p) and [4K](/playground/seedance-2.5-intl-text-to-video-4k) endpoints still work too, for existing integrations.

Question 5

How long can generated videos be?

Accepted Answer

Between 4 and 30 seconds, configurable via the `duration` parameter.

Question 6

Can I reproduce the same output twice?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pass an explicit `seed` value (0 to 4294967295) to reproduce a generation, or use -1 for a random seed each time.

Question 7

How is this different from Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video?

Accepted Answer

Text-to-Video generates purely from a prompt. For animating a still image, use Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video; for keyframe transitions or multi-reference blending, use the First & Last Frame or Omni Reference endpoints.

Question 8

Does this endpoint support Draft Mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes — set draft: true for a cheap 480p preview ($0.187/sec), then finalize the one you keep at 1080p by calling this same endpoint again with draft_request_id set to that draft's request_id, instead of a new prompt. See the [Draft Mode API guide](/seedance-2.5-draft-mode) for the full workflow.

Provider	Estimated Rate	Notes
muapiapp	$0.187/sec (480p), $0.374/sec (720p), $0.935/sec (1080p), or $1.87/sec (4K)	Pay-per-generation pricing with no subscription, selectable via the `resolution` parameter on this same endpoint.
Fal.ai	$0.47/sec (720p) or $0.2205/sec (480p)	MuAPI is cheaper than Fal.ai at 480p; comparable at 720p once the Intl surcharge is factored in.
Replicate	Not available	Seedance 2.5 is not listed on Replicate.
