      description: 'ByteDance SeeDance 2.5 — flagship multimodal video. Text-to-video; image-to-video (start + optional end frame); and reference-to-video mixing up to 15 reference images (free), up to 5 reference video clips (2-15s each, 30s combined — billed per second of INPUT at half the output rate, see POST /v1/cost), and up to 5 reference audio clips (30s combined, free; audio-only input is supported). Video editing and extension are reference-video modes — no separate edit endpoint. Reference media can''t be combined with start/end frames. 480p/720p/1080p, any duration 4-30 seconds, optional audio.


        **Asynchronous.** Returns a job `id` (the video is not in this response). Poll [`GET /v1/videos/{id}`](/api-reference/videos/get-video-job-status) until `status` is `succeeded` — the video URL is in that response''s `video_url`.'
