Seedance 2.5 creates 4–30 second clips from text, with seven aspect-ratio choices and 720p or 1080p output. It is suited to longer continuous scenes, advertising shots, narrative clips, and social formats.
Synchronized audio generation is enabled by default and can be switched off. The route accepts text only and does not use a source image. seedance-2.5/text-to-video
These specifications reflect the current HiAPI Seedance 2.5 Text to Video request contract.
Describe the scene in time order, validate a short 720p clip, then extend duration or move to 1080p.
This is the minimum request for an asynchronous text-to-video task. Use the API docs for task retrieval, callbacks, errors, and the complete parameter contract.
