# 1) Submit — returns { "task_uuid": "..." }
curl -X POST "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/doubao/seedance-2.0-mini/image-to-video-spicy" \

      "https://d1s3annbwribom.cloudfront.net/marketplace/examples/2026/09/12/ae63692086b8.jpeg"
    ],
    "prompt": "The woman slowly turns toward the camera and begins walking forward through the rain as passing headlights streak across the frame. The camera starts with a medium shot, then gently dollies in and arcs slightly around her for a cinematic reveal. Moody, sensual atmosphere with neon reflections, drifting steam, subtle wind in her hair, and realistic motion. High-end film look, rich contrast, smooth camera movement, consistent character.",
    "last_frame": [

How do you write prompts for seedance-2.0-mini/image-to-video-spicy?

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. About $0.600 per typical run ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
