Requires inference.sh CLI (belt). Install instructions
belt login
belt app run bytedance/seedance-2-0 --input '{
"prompt": "a jazz band performing in a dimly lit club",
"generate_audio": true

Models
| Model | App ID | Best For |

| Seedance 2.0 Fast | bytedance/seedance-2-0-fast | Faster generation, up to 720p |

Studio variants automatically upload reference images to the BytePlus private virtual portrait library for enhanced character consistency - particularly useful for faces and branded characters.
Modes
The model determines the generation mode from your inputs. These modes are mutually exclusive - use either first-frame/last-frame OR reference inputs, not both.
| Mode | Inputs | Description |
|---|
| Text-to-Video | prompt only | Generate video from text description |
| Image-to-Video | prompt + image | Animate a still image (first frame) |
| First+Last Frame | prompt + image + end_image | Control start and end frames |
| Multimodal Reference | prompt + reference_images/reference_videos/reference_audios | Guide generation with reference material |

Prompt Guide
Reference assets in your prompt using type + index: Image 1, Image 2, Video 1, Audio 1. The index is the position within that type in the arrays you provide. Do NOT use asset IDs in prompts.
Multimodal reference formula:
- Image reference: "Refer to the [subject] from [Image N] to generate [scene], keeping [subject] consistent"
- Video reference: "Refer to the [camera movement/action] from [Video N]"
- Audio reference: "[Character] says: [dialogue], voice style referenced from [Audio N]"
Video editing formula:
- Add: "At [timing] of [Video N], add [element]"
- Remove: "Remove [element] from [Video N], keeping the rest unchanged"
- Modify: "Replace [element] in [Video N] with [new element]"
Video extension formula:
- Forward: "Generate content after [Video N]: [description]"
- Backward: "Extend the opening of [Video N]: [description]"
- Stitch: "[Video 1] + [transition] + followed by [Video 2]"
