Overview

Seedance 1.5 Pro Video-Extend turns short source clips into longer videos with natural motion continuation, stable aesthetics, and a clean final output. APIXO analyzes the source video and applies its video extension workflow to produce a longer continuation through the standard async task API. It is a strong fit for extending ad creatives, short-drama shots, talking-head clips, and other short-form scenes where you want the next moment of the same shot instead of a brand-new composition.

Copy-paste async quickstart

This minimal request extends a short source clip and returns a new taskId.

Successful response:
{
  "code": 200,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_12345678"
  }
}
Save the taskId; you need it to poll for the final result.

Parse resultJson after state becomes success:
const payload = JSON.parse(data.resultJson);
const videoUrls = payload.resultUrls;

Request body

  "request_type": "async",
  "input": {
    "mode": "video-extend",
    "prompt": "continue the same shot with a gentle smile and then a smooth ride-away",
    "video_urls": [

Parameters

request_type
string
default:"async"
required
Result delivery mode. Use async for polling with statusTask, or callback for webhook delivery.
callback_url
string
Required when request_type is callback. Must be a public HTTPS URL that can receive the final task payload. See Webhooks.
input
object
required
Seedance 1.5 Pro Video-Extend input parameters.
Legacy fixed_lens is still accepted for compatibility, but new integrations should use camera_fixed.

Response format

Submit task response

POST /generateTask/seedance-1-5-pro-extend returns a task ID when the task is accepted:
code
integer
API status code. 200 means the task was accepted.
message
string
Human-readable status message.
data.taskId
string
Unique task identifier used with the status endpoint.

Status response fields

taskId
string
Unique task identifier.
state
string
Current task state: processing, success, or failed.
resultJson
string
JSON string containing the final stitched video URLs. Present when state is success.
failCode
string
Machine-readable failure code. Present when state is failed.
failMsg
string
Human-readable failure message. Present when state is failed.
createTime
integer
Task creation timestamp in Unix milliseconds.
completeTime
integer
Task completion timestamp in Unix milliseconds. Present after completion.
costTime
integer
Processing duration in milliseconds. Present after completion when available.

Webhook callback mode

Use callback mode when your backend should receive the final result automatically instead of polling.
curl -X POST "https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/seedance-1-5-pro-extend" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "request_type": "callback",
    "callback_url": "https://your-server.com/webhooks/apixo",
    "input": {
      "mode": "video-extend",
      "prompt": "continue the same scene with a smooth smile, then leave the frame naturally",
      "video_urls": [
        "https://example.com/source.mp4"
      ],
      "resolution": "720p",
      "duration": 8,
      "sound": true,
      "camera_fixed": true,
      "seed": 123456
    }
  }'
The callback payload uses the same unified response shape as the status endpoint when the task reaches a final state. See Webhooks for delivery requirements and retry behavior.

Billing

Seedance 1.5 Pro Video-Extend uses the same per-second pricing tiers as Seedance 1.5 Pro, so cost stays predictable even though the workflow includes continuation analysis and final stitching.
ResolutionsoundPrice
480pfalse$0.012 / second
480ptrue$0.024 / second
720pfalse$0.024 / second
720ptrue$0.048 / second
1080pfalse$0.052 / second
1080ptrue$0.104 / second
Total cost is the per-second price multiplied by the requested duration. For example, 720p with sound: false for 8 seconds costs $0.192. For current route and market comparison pricing, see Pricing.

Latency and polling

This workflow includes tail analysis and final stitching in addition to upstream generation, so it may take slightly longer than direct text-to-video or image-to-video generation. In return, you get a cleaner continuation workflow and a single ready-to-use output URL.
Requested durationRecommended first pollPoll interval
4 seconds45s after task creation5s-10s
8 seconds60s after task creation5s-10s
12 seconds90s after task creation5s-10s
For production workloads, use callback mode to avoid frequent polling while the continuation and merge steps complete.
Rate limits and concurrency can vary by account, API key, and route. If you receive 429, slow down requests and retry with backoff. For account-level details, see System APIs.
