Examples

Cinematic 1080p Shot (Default)

Text-to-video at the default 1080p resolution for maximum fidelity

curl -X POST "https://api.core.today/v1/predictions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: cdt_your_api_key" \
  -d '{
  "model": "bytedance/seedance-1-pro",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "The sun rises slowly between tall buildings. [Ground-level follow shot] Bicycle tires roll over a dew-covered street at dawn. The cyclist passes through dappled light under a bridge as the entire city gradually wakes up.",
    "duration": 5,
    "resolution": "1080p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }
}'

720p Preview

A cheaper 720p pass useful for iterating on prompts before the final 1080p render

curl -X POST "https://api.core.today/v1/predictions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: cdt_your_api_key" \
  -d '{
  "model": "bytedance/seedance-1-pro",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A chef plating a dessert in slow motion in a modern restaurant kitchen",
    "duration": 5,
    "resolution": "720p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }
}'

Tips & Best Practices

1The default resolution is 1080p ($0.15/s) โ€” explicitly set resolution to 720p or 480p while iterating to save credits
21080p costs 2.5x the 720p rate and 5x the 480p rate
3Billing is per second of output; duration ranges from 2 to 12 seconds
4camera_fixed is useful for product shots that need a stable, static frame

Use Cases

High-quality marketing and product videos
Cinematic shots from a text prompt
Animating a portrait or product photo at full 1080p
Fixed-camera shots for consistent framing
Longer-form clips up to 12 seconds
