Seedance Video Workflows

Seedance is a video model family in Redbit’s current registry. In the dashboard, Seedance-specific controls appear when the active card is a video card and the selected model is seedance or a doubao-seedance-2.0* variant. Seedance workflow diagram showing prompt input, four reference modes, validation, and provider output.

​
Who Should Read This

Read this page when a workflow needs Seedance-specific reference roles, when video generation is slow or failing, or when you need to decide whether a reference image, first/last-frame setup, or multi-reference setup is appropriate.

​
Before You Read

Confirm provider access in Models and Provider Configuration. Seedance requests may go through direct provider settings or a compatible relay, and generation can be slower than image generation because the provider may queue, poll, and post-process video jobs.

Current Variants and Output Settings

​
Modes

Use first-frame or first/last-frame modes when the opening or ending visual must be controlled. Use multi-reference when the task needs broader guidance from image, video, or audio examples, and accept that the provider may weigh references differently from prompt text.

​
Reference Rules

Seedance reference handling is stricter than generic video reference handling:
  • text-to-video does not use references;
  • image-to-video requires a first-frame image;
  • first/last-frame mode requires both a first-frame and a last-frame image;
  • multi-reference mode requires at least one reference asset;
  • frame mode references cannot be mixed with free multimodal references in one task;
  • reference tokens such as @image1 or @video1 can be inserted into prompts after references are collected.
1

Configure provider access

In Settings, configure Seedance direct credentials or a compatible relay. Seedance’s registry entry currently lists wavespeed and other as relay options.
2

Create a video card

Open the Video tab, select Seedance, and confirm the variant, ratio, duration, resolution, and audio setting.
3

Choose the mode

Use text-to-video for prompt-only work, image-to-video for a start frame, first/last-frame for a transition, or multi-reference for mixed media guidance.
4

Attach references

Upload assets or select them from Asset Dock/SmartPicker. Check that the assigned roles match the selected mode.
5

Generate and review

Video generation may take longer than image generation because providers often queue, poll, and post-process results.
