Remixing existing assets: image-to-video brings static work to life and extends its lifespan.

How do you call this API?

1. Sign up on NamiFusion and create a key on the API Keys page (free credits on signup).

2. Submit a task with the cURL example below, passing your key as a Bearer token.

3. Poll the task status with the returned task_uuid and read the output URLs when completed.

  "input": {
    "prompt": "A cinematic slow push-in on a lone astronaut standing on a windswept red desert at sunset, dust drifting across the ground as distant storm clouds roll over the horizon. The astronaut turns slightly toward a glowing research outpost in the distance, cape and suit details moving naturally in the wind. Subtle handheld camera motion, dramatic lighting, epic sci-fi mood, highly realistic motion, synchronized ambient wind and distant machinery sounds.",

What parameters does it take?

prompt (Prompt): required

first_frame (Image): required

last_frame (Last Image): optional

aspect_ratio (Aspect Ratio): optional

resolution (Resolution): optional, default "720p"

duration (Duration): optional, default 5

generate_audio (Generate Audio): optional, default true

How do you write prompts for Seedance 2.0 Fast Image to Video?

1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").

2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".

3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.

4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-use in credits. A typical run costs about $1.00 ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
