# Seedance 1.5 Pro

> ByteDance video up to 12 seconds with sound: from a description or the first and last frame.

Seedance 1.5 Pro is a ByteDance video model for 4 to 12 second clips in 480p, 720p and 1080p, with or without sound. It films from a description or animates a photo: the first frame and, optionally, the last one. The camera can be kept still.

One model, `seedance-1.5-pro` · ~2 min. The result follows the `input` fields (prompt, frames, references, `video_mode`, duration) — there are no separate «animate / edit» endpoints.

## Features

- `prompt` — up to **30000** characters
- `generate_audio` — audio in the clip
- `nsfw_check` — check before charge
- First / last frame (`first_frame_url` / `last_frame_url`)

## Price

| Resolution | Price per second |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.027 |
| 720p | $0.058 |
| 1080p | $0.141 |

- Price = per-second price × clip length, rounded up to $0.001. Charged when the task is created and fully refunded if it fails.

## Media limits

| Type | Limits |
|---|---|
| Frames | `first_frame_url` required to animate; `last_frame_url` optional |

Photos — public https or upload; video and audio — files/upload only.


## Parameters (field `input`)

| Parameter | Description | Values (default in bold) |
|---|---|---|
| `prompt` | What happens in the clip: scene, motion, camera, light, style | text, up to 30000 chars |
| `first_frame_url` | First frame: a photo link (https); the video starts from it | `"https://…"` |
| `last_frame_url` | Last frame (optional, only together with the first one) | `"https://…"` |
| `resolution` | Video resolution | `480p` (standard) · **`720p`** (high (HD)) · `1080p` (Full HD) |
| `aspect_ratio` | Aspect ratio | **`16:9`** (landscape) · `9:16` (portrait) · `1:1` (square) · `4:3` (traditional) · `3:4` (vertical traditional) · `21:9` (ultra-wide) |
| `duration` | Video duration in seconds | 4 to 12 (default **`5`**) |
| `generate_audio` | Video with sound | `true` `false` (default `true`) |
| `camera_fixed` | Fixed camera | `true` `false` (default `false`) |
| `nsfw_check` | Content check: the description and photos are checked first; if not allowed, no task is created and nothing is charged | `true` `false` (default `false`) |
| `seed` | Variant number: the same number with the same prompt gives a similar result; empty or -1 = random | -1…4294967295 |

```

## Create and result

1. `POST /api/v1/jobs/createTask` with `model` and `input`.
2. Poll `GET /api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=…` every 3–5 s (or a [callback](https://docs.mixmedia.tech/en/callbacks)).

### Successful createTask (HTTP 200)

```json
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_...",
    "task_id": "task_...",
    "status": "submitted"
  }
}
```

### Completed task (recordInfo)

```json
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_...",
    "task_id": "task_...",
    "state": "success",
    "status": "completed",
    "costUsd": "0.384",
    "refunded": false,
    "resultJson": {
      "videos": [
        {
          "url": "https://…/out.mp4"
        }
      ],
      "duration": 8
    }
  }
}
```

Aliases: `task_id` = `taskId`; `status`: `pending` / `processing` / `completed` / `failed` alongside `state`. Clip URL is in `resultJson`. `size` is an alias of `aspect_ratio` in `input`.


Photos can be any public https links or uploads via [files/upload](https://docs.mixmedia.tech/en/endpoints/upload). Videos and audio — via files/upload only.

## Error handling

API responses are JSON `{"code", "msg", "data"}`; errors also have a string `error` field (type). **On `/api/v1/*` the HTTP status matches body `code`.**

### Example response bodies

**400**

```json
{
  "code": 400,
  "msg": "input.duration: must be between 4 and 30, or \"auto\" / -1",
  "data": null,
  "error": "invalid_request_error"
}
```

**401**

```json
{
  "code": 401,
  "msg": "Authentication failed. Please check your API key",
  "data": null,
  "error": "authentication_error"
}
```

**402**

```json
{
  "code": 402,
  "msg": "Insufficient balance. Please top up and try again. Available: $0.01, required: $0.015. Top up at https://ai.aimixmedia.site/cabinet/billing",
  "data": {
    "balance": "0.0100",
    "required": "0.0150",
    "currency": "USD",
    "topUpUrl": "https://mixmedia.tech/cabinet/billing"
  },
  "error": "payment_required"
}
```

**429**

```json
{
  "code": 429,
  "msg": "Rate limit exceeded: 10 createTask/upload requests per 10 s per key. Retry after 8s",
  "data": null,
  "error": "rate_limit_error"
}
```

**500**

```json
{
  "code": 500,
  "msg": "Internal server error",
  "data": null,
  "error": "server_error"
}
```

### Codes on createTask / upload

| code | error | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | `invalid_request_error` | Invalid parameter or body | See `msg` |
| 400 | `unsupported_model` | Unknown model | [Model list](https://docs.mixmedia.tech/en/models) |
| 400 | `nsfw_content_detected` | Rejected by content check (`nsfw_check`) | Change the prompt or files |
| 401 | `authentication_error` | Missing or invalid key | Check the key |
| 402 | `payment_required` | Not enough balance | Top up |
| 403 | `permission_error` | No access | Contact support |
| 429 | `rate_limit_error` | Too many requests | Wait for `Retry-After` |
| 505 | `model_disabled` | Model temporarily disabled | Pick another |
| 500 | `server_error` | Our failure | Retry later |

Example `msg` values: `Authentication failed. Please check your API key` (401); `Insufficient balance. Please top up and try again…` (402).

### Task errors (recordInfo)

If the task was created and then failed: `state: "fail"` (alias `status: "failed"`), `failCode` / `failMsg`, and `error: { code, message, type }`. Money is refunded (`refunded: true`).

| failCode | error.type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | `nsfw_content_detected` / `invalid_request_error` | Moderation / safety rules |
| 422 | `invalid_request_error` | The model rejected the parameters (length, mode, resolution, file) |
| 501 | `server_error` | The model could not generate (`failMsg`) |
| 504 | `timeout_error` | Timed out — retry |
| 500 / 503 | `server_error` | Service temporarily unavailable |

### Common refusals for this model

- `duration` out of range, or `auto` / `-1` when auto length is not supported (Seedance 2.5 only)
- `resolution` / `aspect_ratio` (`size`) / `video_mode` not in the list above
- `video_mode` = `edit` or `extend` without `video_urls`; for `edit` — clip shorter than 4 s
- Reference video/audio too long without `auto_trim` / `trim_*` → `400`
- `nsfw_check: true` — on reject **immediate HTTP 400** (`nsfw_content_detected`); no task, no charge

### Rate limits

| What | Limit |
|---|---|
| createTask and upload | 20 per 10 s per key |
| recordInfo / list / balance | 100 per 10 s per key |

Over the limit — HTTP 429 and `Retry-After`.
