# StableStudio Seedance Image-to-Video Generation

> StableStudio Seedance Image-to-Video Generation is a paid API for AI agents from stablestudio.io, paid per call via x402, $20/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Submits an image-to-video (i2v) generation job using the Seedance model, returning a job ID for async polling

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://stablestudio.io/api/generate/seedance/i2v
- Price: $20/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/stablestudio-seedance-image-to-video-generation-147d8a99
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_WDb1J3ifpYp4VrmLcphyQ

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 stablestudio-seedance-image-to-video-generation-147d8a99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Use StableStudio to animate my image into a video — the prompt is 'a serene ocean wave crashing on a rocky shore at sunset, cinematic motion', 16:9 aspect ratio, 1 MP resolution, webp output at quality 85, with safety tolerance 2.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-use AI video generation from text/image prompts without committing to a subscription, specifically when using the Seedance i2v model via StableStudio. Prefer this over subscription-based services when generating videos occasionally or when crypto (USDC) micropayment via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty prompt returns validation error
- Invalid enum value for resolution or aspect_ratio returns 400
- Safety tolerance out of range (below 1 or above 5) returns validation error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment returns payment error
- Seedance model backend unavailable returns 503 or timeout
- Job creation succeeds but downstream generation fails — agent must handle pending/failed status on polling

## How this service works

Pay-per-generation AI image and video creation. No subscriptions ever.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a jobId (e.g. 'cmpbmzaee000j04jrzx4f43tw'), a status of 'pending', the generation type 'seedance-i2v', and a success boolean. The agent must use the jobId to poll for the completed video output separately.
