Seedance 2.5 Draft Complete API by ByteDance

bytedance/seedance-2.5/draft-complete
Draft-complete

Render the 1080p final of a completed Seedance 2.5 draft. Prompt, inputs, duration, ratio, seed and audio come from the draft; only draft_id, return_last_frame, output_format and watermark are accepted.

Seedance 2.5 Draft Complete is developed by ByteDance. Atlas Cloud (operated by Atlas Cloud AI LLC) provides access to it and does not own it. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

1. Introduction

Seedance 2.5 Draft Complete (bytedance/seedance-2.5/draft-complete) renders the 1080p final of a Seedance 2.5 draft. It is the second step of Seedance 2.5's two-step draft mode: first generate a fast 480p preview with draft: true on one of the three Seedance 2.5 source models, review it, then hand its draft_id to this model to obtain the full-quality render of the same shot.

Draft mode is offered on:

  • bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video
  • bytedance/seedance-2.5/image-to-video
  • bytedance/seedance-2.5/reference-to-video

The final reuses everything that defined the draft — prompt, first/last frame and reference assets, duration, aspect ratio, seed, and the audio setting — so the 1080p result reproduces the preview's scene structure, shot scheduling and subject motion rather than re-rolling them.

2. Key Features & Innovations

  • Preview before you commit: a 480p draft renders in roughly a minute and costs the standard 480p rate, so composition, camera moves and prompt intent can be validated cheaply before the 1080p render.
  • Faithful completion: the final is generated from the draft task itself, not from a re-submitted prompt. Seed, duration, ratio, inputs and audio are inherited automatically; sending them again is not allowed.
  • Repeatable: a draft can be completed more than once within its validity window — for example once as mp4 and once as mov — each completion being a separate task.
  • Minimal request: the body carries only draft_id plus the delivery options output_format, watermark and return_last_frame.
  • Native 1080p: completions are delivered as native 1080p renders (10-bit HEVC in the upstream container), not as post-generation upscales.

3. How It Works

  1. Submit the draft: call the source model with "draft": true. The gateway renders at 480p regardless of the resolution you send, and the prediction response carries "draft": true and a draft_id (the draft's own prediction id).
  2. Poll the draft to completed and review the preview.
  3. Submit the completion: call bytedance/seedance-2.5/draft-complete with that draft_id. Poll the returned prediction as usual; its response carries the draft_id it was completed from.

A draft stays completable for seven days from its creation. Completing an unknown, foreign, unfinished or deleted draft returns 400 the draft task does not exist; completing one older than seven days returns 400 the draft task has expired.

4. Request Contract

FieldTypeNotes

draft_idstring, requiredPrediction id of a completed draft owned by the calling account
output_formatmp4 | movDefault mp4
watermarkbooleanDefault false
return_last_framebooleanDefault false
webhook_urlstringOptional completion callback, as on every video model

Any other field — including prompt, resolution, duration, ratio, seed, generate_audio and every media input — is rejected with a 400 that names the field. Resolution is always 1080p.

5. Intended Use & Applications

  • Iterative prompting: refine prompts across several cheap drafts, then complete only the one that works.
  • Storyboard review: generate drafts for every shot of a sequence, review continuity, and complete the approved shots at delivery quality.
  • Batch pipelines: complete approved drafts programmatically from a webhook on the draft's terminal callback.

6. Limitations

  • Completions inherit the draft's inputs; a different prompt, duration or ratio requires a new draft.
  • Only 1080p output is available for completions; the draft itself is only available at 480p.
  • Drafts expire seven days after creation and cannot be completed afterwards.
  • Draft mode is available on the three Seedance 2.5 source models above; the -esr enhancement tiers, Seedance 2.0 and the workflow wrappers do not offer it.
