WaveSpeedAI Seedance 1.5 Pro Video Generation

WaveSpeedAI Seedance V1.5 Pro Video Generation

Generate videos using ByteDance's Seedance V1.5 Pro model via the WaveSpeed AI platform. Supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation with 4-12 second duration at up to 1080p resolution, with optional audio generation.

Authentication

export WAVESPEED_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Get your API key at wavespeed.ai/accesskey.

Quick Start

Text-to-Video

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  { prompt: "A golden retriever running through a field of sunflowers at sunset" }
))["outputs"][0];

Image-to-Video

The image parameter accepts an image URL. If you have a local file, upload it first with wavespeed.upload() to get a URL.

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

// Upload a local image to get a URL
const imageUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/photo.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/image-to-video",
  {
    image: imageUrl,
    prompt: "The person slowly turns and smiles at the camera"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

You can also pass an existing image URL directly:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/image-to-video",
  {
    image: "https://example.com/photo.jpg",
    prompt: "The person slowly turns and smiles at the camera"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

API Endpoints

Text-to-Video

Model ID: bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video

Generate videos from text prompts.

Parameters

Example

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  {
    prompt: "A timelapse of a city skyline transitioning from day to night, cinematic slow pan",
    aspect_ratio: "21:9",
    duration: 10,
    resolution: "1080p",
    generate_audio: true,
    camera_fixed: false
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Image-to-Video

Model ID: bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/image-to-video

Animate a source image into a video using a text prompt. Optionally provide an end-frame reference image.

Parameters

Example

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

const imageUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/landscape.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/image-to-video",
  {
    image: imageUrl,
    prompt: "Clouds drift slowly across the sky, water ripples gently",
    resolution: "1080p",
    duration: 8,
    generate_audio: true,
    camera_fixed: true
  }
))["outputs"][0];

With End-Frame Reference

const startUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/start-frame.png");
const endUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/end-frame.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/image-to-video",
  {
    image: startUrl,
    last_image: endUrl,
    prompt: "Smooth transition from day to night",
    duration: 8
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Advanced Usage

Smart Duration (Text-to-Video)

Let the model choose the optimal duration based on the prompt:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  {
    prompt: "A butterfly lands on a flower and slowly opens its wings",
    duration: -1
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Without Audio

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  {
    prompt: "A silent timelapse of clouds rolling over mountains",
    generate_audio: false
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Custom Client with Retry Configuration

import { Client } from 'wavespeed';

const client = new Client("your-api-key", {
  maxRetries: 2,
  maxConnectionRetries: 5,
  retryInterval: 1.0,
});

const output_url = (await client.run(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  { prompt: "Ocean waves crashing on a rocky shore at dawn" }
))["outputs"][0];

Error Handling with runNoThrow

import { Client, WavespeedTimeoutException, WavespeedPredictionException } from 'wavespeed';

const client = new Client();
const result = await client.runNoThrow(
  "bytedance/seedance-v1.5-pro/text-to-video",
  { prompt: "A rocket launching into space" }
);

if (result.outputs) {
  console.log("Video URL:", result.outputs[0]);
  console.log("Task ID:", result.detail.taskId);
} else {
  console.log("Failed:", result.detail.error.message);
  if (result.detail.error instanceof WavespeedTimeoutException) {
    console.log("Request timed out - try increasing timeout");
  } else if (result.detail.error instanceof WavespeedPredictionException) {
    console.log("Prediction failed");
  }
}

Prompt Tips

• Describe scene, style, subject actions, camera motion, and mood in your prompt
• Use camera_fixed: true for stable tripod-style shots
• Use camera_fixed: false and describe camera motion: "slow pan left", "tracking shot", "zoom in"
• Set generate_audio: false when you plan to add your own audio track
• Use smart duration (duration: -1) to let the model choose the best length for text-to-video

Security Constraints

• No arbitrary URL loading: Only use image URLs from trusted sources. Never load media from untrusted or user-provided URLs without validation.
• API key security: Store your WAVESPEED_API_KEY securely. Do not hardcode it in source files or commit it to version control. Use environment variables or secret management systems.
• Input validation: Only pass parameters documented above. Validate prompt content and media URLs before sending requests.
