He glances left and right confirming he's alone, then absolutely loses it — full arm waves, footwork, lip-syncing to something — then the subway doors open and a family walks in. He freezes instantly, straightens his tie, stares at the ceiling, completely still.
The blizzard intensifies — snow driving nearly horizontal across the frame. The wolf's fur ripples violently in waves from nose to tail. It doesn't move. Its eyes open fully for a moment, pale amber cutting through the white chaos, scanning something far below the ridge. Its nostrils flare — a deep inhale, held — then released in a massive white cloud that shreds apart in the wind. One ear swivels back, then forward again. It raises its head slightly and opens its jaws — but makes no sound we can hear over the storm. Camera holds at distance, shaking faintly in the gale.
The bear delicately lifts the tiny espresso cup to its mouth with two claws, drinks it in one gulp, then lets out a massive roar — the pigeons explode into the air, but the other patrons don't even look up from their newspapers
The nail technician holds up a glitter nail for his approval. He stares at it for a long beat, completely expressionless — then gives one slow, satisfied nod. The tiniest smile flickers at the corner of his mouth before he suppresses it.
Seedance 2.0 Fast is the speed-optimized version of Seed's latest video generation model. The Image-to-Video mode generates cinematic videos from reference images and text prompts — faster and at 33% lower cost than the standard version, preserving the input image's subject and composition while adding expressive motion with native audio.
Speed-optimized generation Faster processing for quick turnaround, perfect for iteration and prototyping.
33% lower cost $0.80 per 5 seconds vs $1.20 for the standard version.
Image-faithful generation Preserves the reference image's subject identity, composition, and style.
Multi-image reference support Guide generation with up to 4 reference images.
Native audio-visual synchronization Generates video with synchronized audio in a single pass.
Director-level control Camera movement, lighting, and character performance controlled through prompts.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs.

time.sleep(2)Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video is a ByteDance model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance 2.0 Fast (Image-to-Video) generates cinematic videos from reference images and text prompts with native audio-visual synchronization, director-level control, and exceptional motion stability — optimized for faster generation at lower cost. Built on Seed's unified multimodal architecture. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-2.0-fast-image-to-video.
Seedance 2.0 Fast Image To Video starts at $0.50 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`, `enable_web_search`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-2.0-fast-image-to-video.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
