Getting started

Generate videos with Seedance 2.0 Mini using the experimental_generateVideo function from AI SDK 6 or later. AI Gateway handles routing and polls until the video is ready.

Install the AI SDK (pnpm add ai dotenv), create an API key from the API Keys page, and set it as AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY in your environment. Full setup is covered in the video generation quickstart.

index.ts
import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai';
import fs from 'node:fs';
import 'dotenv/config';


async function main() {
  const result = await generateVideo({
    model: 'bytedance/seedance-2.0-mini',
    prompt: 'A drone shot of a coastal cliff with crashing waves at golden hour.',
  });


  // Save the generated video
  fs.writeFileSync('output.mp4', result.videos[0].uint8Array);


  console.log('Video saved to output.mp4');
}


main().catch(console.error);
