seedance_generate_video
Turn any text prompt into an AI-generated video clip. Describe the scene, motion, style, or mood to create a video with URLs and metadata, no reference images required.
Instructions
Generate AI video from a text prompt using ByteDance Seedance.
This is the simplest way to create video - just describe what you want and
Seedance will generate a high-quality AI video.
Use this when:
- You want to create a video from a text description
- You don't have reference images
- You want quick text-to-video generation
For using reference images (first/last frame, reference), use
seedance_generate_video_from_image instead.
Returns:
Task ID and generated video information including URLs and metadata.
