# Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video

> - Input 1 image for first-frame video generation, input 2 images for first-last-frame video generation, the model determines automatically
- **Now supports AIGC realistic human materials**
- Supports **draft mode**: set `draft: true` to generate a 480p draft first. If you are satisfied, use [Draft-to-Video](/en/api-manual/video-series/seedance/seedance-2.5/seedance-2.5-draft-to-video) to convert it into a 1080p final video. The two requests are billed separately
- Asynchronous processing mode, use the returned task ID to [query status](/en/api-manual/task-management/get-task-detail)
- Generated video links are valid for 24 hours, please save them promptly

            **Note:**

            - This model does not support `video_urls` or `audio_urls` input
          example: The camera slowly zooms in, the scene gradually comes to life
        image_urls:
          type: array
          description: >-
            Image URL array, **1–2 images**


            **Image count and behavior:**


            | Image Count | Behavior | Role |

            |:--------:|------|------|

            | 1 image | First-frame image-to-video | Automatically set as
            `first_frame` |

            | 2 images | First-last-frame image-to-video | 1st image →
            `first_frame`, 2nd image → `last_frame` |


            **Image requirements:**

            - Supported formats: `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.webp`

            - Aspect ratio (width/height): `0.4` ~ `2.5`

            - Width/height pixels: `300` ~ `6000` px

            - Max size per image: `30MB`

            - Total request body size must not exceed `64MB`

            - When providing first and last frames, both images can be
            identical. If aspect ratios differ, the first frame takes priority
            and the last frame will be automatically cropped to fit

            - Image URLs must be directly accessible by the server
          items:
            type: string
            format: uri
          minItems: 1
          maxItems: 2
          example:
            - https://example.com/first-frame.jpg
        duration:
          type: integer
          description: >-
            Video duration (seconds), defaults to `5` seconds


            **Details:**

            - Supports any integer value between `4`–`30` seconds

            - `-1`: automatic duration, the model picks a length within `4`–`30`
            seconds and billing follows the actual output length

            - Duration directly affects billing
          default: 5
          example: 5
        quality:
          type: string
          description: >-
            Video resolution, defaults to `720p`


            **Options:**

            - `480p`: Lower clarity, lower cost

            - `720p`: Standard clarity, this is the default

            - `1080p`: Ultra HD clarity


            **Draft mode:** When `draft` is `true`, only `480p` is supported. If
            omitted, `quality` automatically defaults to `480p`
          enum:
            - 480p
            - 720p
            - 1080p
          default: 720p
          example: 720p
        draft:
          type: boolean
          default: false
          description: >-
            Draft mode switch, defaults to `false`


            **Details:**

            - `true`: Generate a 480p draft first, with faster turnaround and
            standard 480p billing

            - When enabled, `quality` must be `480p` or omitted. Any other
            resolution returns a 400 parameter error

            - Must be a top-level request body field. Placing it inside
            `model_params` returns a 400 parameter error


            **Convert to a final video:**

            - Once the draft is complete, [querying the
            task](/en/api-manual/task-management/get-task-detail) returns
            `draft_expires_at`

            - Before that time, pass the draft task ID to [Seedance 2.5
            Draft-to-Video](/en/api-manual/video-series/seedance/seedance-2.5/seedance-2.5-draft-to-video)
            to generate a 1080p final video with the same content

            - The final video and draft are billed separately. If you are not
            satisfied with the draft, skip conversion and pay only for the draft

            - The default validity period is 24 hours after the draft completes;
            the actual deadline is `draft_expires_at`. Submit the conversion
            request early: expiration while queued also causes conversion to
            fail


            **Temporary unavailability:** A 503 error may be returned when the
            service is temporarily unavailable. If the error code is
            `draft_unavailable`, retry later or remove `draft` to use normal
            generation mode
          example: false
        aspect_ratio:
          type: string
          description: >-
            Video aspect ratio, image-to-video only supports `adaptive`


            **Options:**

            - `adaptive`: Automatically selects the closest aspect ratio based
            on the first-frame image proportions, the only value this model
            accepts

            - Fixed ratios such as `16:9` or `9:16` cannot be specified for this
            model
          enum:
            - adaptive
          default: adaptive

        generate_audio:

          description: |-
            Whether to generate synchronized audio, defaults to `true`

            **Options:**
            - `true`: Video includes synchronized audio at no additional charge
            - `false`: Output silent video
          default: true
          example: true
        content_filter:
          type: boolean
          description: >-
            Content filter, enabled by default `true`


            **Options:**

            - `true`: Standard content safety check, this is the default

            - `false`: Relaxes content restrictions, billed at +10% (`1.1x`).
            Illegal and prohibited content is always enforced regardless of this
            setting


            **Mutually exclusive with web search:**

            - `content_filter: false` and `model_params.web_search: true` cannot
            be used together; sending both returns a 400 parameter error

            - Keep `content_filter: true` (the default) when web search is
            needed
          default: true
          example: true
        output_format:
          type: string
          description: >-
            Output container format, defaults to `mp4`


            **Options:**

            - `mp4`: H.264 encoding with the best compatibility and standard
            color precision, this is the default

            - `mov`: H.264 + yuv444p chroma sampling + PCM audio for higher
            color fidelity, recommended for color grading, keying and
            compositing workflows. Browser inline playback may not support it;
            download and play with VLC / mpv / ffplay. No extra charge
          enum:
            - mp4
            - mov
          default: mp4
          example: mp4
        callback_url:

          description: >-
            HTTPS callback URL for task completion


            **Callback timing:**

            - Triggered when the task is completed or failed

            - Sent after billing confirmation is complete


            **Security restrictions:**

            - Only HTTPS protocol is supported

            - Callbacks to private IP addresses are prohibited (127.0.0.1,
            10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.)

            - URL length must not exceed `2048` characters


            **Callback mechanism:**

            - Timeout: `10` seconds

            - Up to `3` retries after failure (at `1`/`2`/`4` seconds after
            failure respectively)

            - Callback response body format is consistent with the task query
            endpoint response format

            - A 2xx status code is considered successful; other status codes
            trigger retries
