SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires byteplus-python-sdk-v2, Pillow, requests, tqdm, python-dotenv, tos, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the tedium of setting up and calling the BytePlus Seedance video generation workflow by automating prompt-based video creation, optional image references, and output retrieval.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Text-to-Video (T2V): Generate a video directly from a prompt with configurable duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and optional watermark/camera options.
  • Image-to-Video (I2V): Animate a reference image as the first frame and/or last frame to control transitions and continuity.
  • Ark-based Model Workflows: Creates and monitors generation tasks via the Ark SDK, downloads the resulting MP4, and returns a usable local path plus an optional network URL.

Use case: You have a storyboard prompt and a keyframe photo; generate a short animated clip that keeps the subject consistent, then reuse the produced MP4 for a draft edit.

Quick Start

Run the script to generate a Seedance T2V clip from a prompt in your environment, for example: python skills/polym-eval-generate-seedance/scripts/generate.py --prompt "A cat playing with a ball of yarn" --model seedance-1-5-pro-251215.

How do I generate Seedance videos from text prompts using BytePlus Ark?

Generate Seedance videos by running the script with your prompt and model name, which creates an Ark content generation task, waits for completion, and downloads the resulting MP4 file locally.

Can I use a reference image to generate a video with Seedance?

Yes, Seedance image-to-video generation accepts optional first and last reference frames for animation, allowing you to control subject continuity and transitions from a keyframe photo.

What do I need to configure before running the Seedance video generation script?

You need configured BytePlus Ark credentials and a Python environment with dependencies like the BytePlus SDK, Pillow, and TOS to execute the generation task and download the MP4 output.

Does Seedance video generation support adjustable resolution and duration settings?

Seedance video generation supports configurable duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and optional camera and watermark settings across the supported Ark model workflows for your MP4 output.

What output format and metadata does the Seedance video generation script return?

The script downloads the produced MP4 file and returns result metadata including a local file path and an optional network URL, making the video readily available for downstream draft editing.
