Animate images to 480p video with Seedance 2.5 — faster and cheaper than the 720p tier. Try free — pay per generation, no subscription. Relaxed-moderation (Spicy) endpoint, priced 10% above standard.
About this model
Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video 480p is the faster, lower-cost tier of the Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video early-access build, animating a still image into video at 480p resolution. It's ideal for rapid previews and drafts before committing to a full 720p render, while still supporting clips up to 30 seconds. This is Muapi's Spicy endpoint for the same Seedance 2.5 model — the relaxed-moderation sibling of the standard tier, with lighter content-safety filtering and bolder, higher-contrast output.

Same request/response shape as the standard endpoint, but served on the relaxed-moderation Spicy tier, with reduced content-safety filtering and more dramatic, higher-contrast motion. Priced 10% above the standard tier.
Same model and features, but rendered at 480p — faster and cheaper, at $0.17/sec instead of $0.34/sec.
Between 4 and 30 seconds, configurable via the `duration` parameter.
Use 480p for drafts, prompt iteration, and high-volume batch generation where resolution matters less than cost and speed.
Yes — pass an explicit `seed` value, or use -1 for a random seed each time.
It's usable for either — the 480p tier trades resolution for speed and cost, so it's best for drafts, prompt iteration, and batch generation, while the 720p tier suits final deliverables.
