Seedance 2.5 — Video edit API - Higgsfield API Docs

← Seedance 2.5 Endpoint: POST https://api.higgsfield.ai/bytedance/seedance-2.5/video-edit Endpoint ID: bytedance/seedance-2.5/video-edit ▶Open API PlaygroundSeedance 2.5 · Video edit↗

Usage notes

Use publicly accessible media URLs; asset:// references are rejected for these endpoints.
The source video_url counts toward the 10-video limit, so include at most 9 additional video_urls. At most 50 media items are accepted across the source video and all reference arrays.
Videos and audio may be trimmed or padded during preprocessing to fit their respective 30-second total budgets. Output framing follows the source video.
Do not send duration: this endpoint derives output duration from the processed source video. The main video is normalized to at least 4 seconds.

Quick start

Replace the example media URLs with publicly accessible URLs for your own files before submitting.
