Technical Details

Configuration schema

Promptstring

Text prompt describing the video animation. Reference uploaded images using @image1, @image2, … @imageN (1-based, matching images_list order). To use a fictional character, reference it with @character:<id> (request_id from a completed Seedance 2 Character generation) — characters are automatically appended to images_list. Multiple characters are supported. Example: '@character:ab539e5f walks through a garden' or 'The cat in @image1 meets @character:ab539e5f'.

Default ValueThe lightbulb suddenly rockets across the room like a missile, smashing through curtains while water spins violently inside. The fish darts through swirling currents as the bulb ricochets off walls and finally bursts into floating droplets.

Implementation Guide

Developer documentation

How to Use SD 2.0 Image-to-Video

  1. Upload Your Image(s): Provide 1–9 high-quality image URLs via the images_list field. The model preserves composition, lighting, and subject identity from your reference images.

  2. Write a Motion Prompt: Describe the animation you want — camera movement, subject action, environmental effects. You can reference specific images in your prompt using @image1, @image2, … @imageN (1-based, matching the order in images_list). Examples:

    • Single reference: 'The cat in @image1 walks through a garden'
    • Morphing: '@image1 transforms into @image2'
    • Multi-subject: 'The whale in @image1 meets the ninja in @image2' The engine automatically converts @imageN to the upstream API format 《@图N》 — you may also use the Chinese format directly if preferred. If you don't use @imageN references, all provided images are used as general style/subject references.

  3. Choose Resolution: Select 480p for cheaper, faster drafts or 720p (default) for standard output. Price scales with resolution.

  4. Choose Quality: Select basic ($0.08/sec) for fast generation or high ($0.15/sec) for cinema-grade output with richer motion detail.

  5. Set Duration: Choose 5, 10, or 15 seconds.

  6. Pick Aspect Ratio: Use 16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for mobile/social, or 4:3/3:4 for other formats. Note: if a reference image is provided, its aspect ratio takes precedence over this setting.

  7. Submit and Poll: You'll receive a request_id immediately. Poll the result endpoint until status is completed.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

How many images can I provide as input?

You can provide up to 9 images via the images_list field. The model uses them as visual references for composition, style, and subject identity throughout the animation.

How do I reference specific images in my prompt?

Use the @imageN placeholder in your prompt, where N is the 1-based position of the image in images_list. For example, if you provide two images, you can write '@image1 transforms into @image2'. The engine automatically converts @imageN to the upstream API format 《@图N》 — you may also use the Chinese format directly if preferred. If you reference @image3 but only supply two images, the request will be rejected with a 400 Bad Request error. You can also use multiple references in a single prompt — for example, 'The whale in @image1 meets the ninja in @image2'. If you don't use @imageN references at all, all provided images are used as general style and subject references.

Will the model preserve my image's style and composition?

Yes. SD 2.0 i2v is specifically designed to preserve the original composition, lighting, subject identity, and aesthetic of your reference images while adding motion.

What's the difference between basic and high quality?

Basic quality uses the fast-i2v model at $0.12/sec — great for quick drafts. High quality uses the standard-i2v model at $0.25/sec for cinema-grade output with smoother motion and finer detail preservation.

Does it generate audio?

Yes, SD 2.0 generates audio natively alongside video, synchronized with the visual content.

What is the maximum resolution?

SD 2.0 supports up to 2K resolution output.

Can I choose a lower resolution to save cost?

Yes. The `resolution` field accepts `480p` (cheaper: $0.09/sec basic, $0.15/sec high) or `720p` (default: $0.12/sec basic, $0.25/sec high). Price scales with the resolution chosen, in addition to the quality tier.
