## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fal-ai-queue-seedance-2-0-reference-to-video-async-78d0f3e3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you animate this product photo into a short video clip? Use this image as the reference — https://example.com/product.jpg — and generate a smooth, dynamic video with gentle motion that shows the product from different angles.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate a video guided by a reference image or video using ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 model, especially when generation time may exceed ~100 seconds (making synchronous endpoints unsuitable). Prefer this over the Fast variant when quality is prioritized over speed and cost. Use over image-to-video endpoints when a video reference is also available, noting the 0.6x rate discount for video references. Ideal for creative, brand, or social media workflows where visual consistency with a reference is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible reference image/video URL returns an error
- Reference media format not supported may cause processing failure
- Long queue times under high load may delay result availability
- Prompt or reference mismatch may produce low-quality or incoherent video output
- Missing required parameters returns a 4xx validation error

## How this service works

Seedance 2.0 - reference-to-video (async; 0.6x rate when video reference)

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon submission. The agent must poll the fal queue status endpoint using the request_id to retrieve the final result, which includes a URL to the generated video file once processing completes.
