What it does
A Python script that calls the Doubao Seedance API on Volcengine Ark for text-to-video, image-to-video (URL or local file), video with generated audio from a first frame or first and last frames, and Seedance Lite with a style reference image. It expands your description into a detailed prompt, waits for the job and saves an MP4. The workflow then uploads the video to Feishu and sends it as a message, using a sample code block that needs your Feishu app credentials. Models are older Seedance versions (1.5 and Lite), not Seedance 2.
Use when
- You want to generate a video from text or an image with Seedance
- You need a talking or sound video from a first frame
- You want a video between a first and last frame
- You use Feishu and want the result sent there
