ByteDance2ReferenceNodeV2 - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

ByteDance Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video generates, edits, or extends videos using ByteDance Seedance models (Seedance 2.5, 2.0, 2.0 Fast, and 2.0 Mini) guided by a text prompt and optional reference images, videos, audio, or previously uploaded library assets. It uploads the references, submits a generation task, waits for completion, and returns the finished video file.

Inputs

Common Inputs

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`model`	Model selector. Seedance 2.5 for the newest model, videos up to 30 seconds and mp4/mov output; Seedance 2.0 for maximum quality and 4k; Fast for speed optimization; Mini for the fastest, lowest-cost generation. Selecting a model changes the input widgets shown below.	DYNAMIC_COMBO	Yes	”Seedance 2.5" "Seedance 2.0" "Seedance 2.0 Fast" "Seedance 2.0 Mini”
`seed`	Seed controls whether the node should re-run; results are non-deterministic regardless of seed. Default: 0.	INT	Yes	0 to 2147483647
`watermark`	Whether to add a watermark to the video. Default: False. Advanced setting.	BOOLEAN	Yes	true false

Seedance 2.5 Inputs

These inputs appear when model is set to “Seedance 2.5”.

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`prompt`	Text prompt for video generation. Put spoken lines in double quotes to steer the generated dialogue. Default: empty string.	STRING	Yes	Multiline text
`resolution`	Resolution of the output video. Default: 720p.	COMBO	Yes	”480p" "720p" "1080p”
`ratio`	Aspect ratio of the output video. Default: 16:9.	COMBO	Yes	”16:9" "4:3" "1:1" "3:4" "9:16" "21:9" "adaptive”
`duration`	Duration of the output video in seconds (4-30). Default: 5.	INT	Yes	4 to 30
`generate_audio`	Enable audio generation for the output video. Default: True.	BOOLEAN	Yes	true false
`task_type`	What to do with the reference media. Every value except auto is validated when the task is submitted, so mismatched settings fail before generation starts. auto: the model infers the task from the prompt and inputs, and settings that conflict with its reading fail only after generation has started. reference: generate a new video guided by the reference images, videos, and audio. edit: change a connected reference video (add, remove, replace); the output keeps the source clip’s own length and aspect ratio, and the duration and ratio widgets are ignored. extend: continue a connected reference video forward or backward; the prompt should say “extend forward”, “extend backward”, or “continue”, the aspect ratio follows the source clip, and the output contains only the newly generated segment of the duration you set, not the source clip. Default: auto.	COMBO	Yes	”auto" "reference" "edit" "extend”
`output_format`	Container format of the output video. Default: mp4.	COMBO	Yes	”mp4”

Seedance 2.0 Inputs

These inputs appear when model is set to “Seedance 2.0”.

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`prompt`	Text prompt for video generation. Default: empty string.	STRING	Yes	Multiline text
`resolution`	Resolution of the output video.	COMBO	Yes	”480p" "720p" "1080p" "4k”
`ratio`	Aspect ratio of the output video. Default: adaptive.	COMBO	Yes	”16:9" "4:3" "1:1" "3:4" "9:16" "21:9" "adaptive”
`duration`	Duration of the output video in seconds (4-15). Default: 7.	INT	Yes	4 to 15
`generate_audio`	Enable audio generation for the output video. Default: True.	BOOLEAN	Yes	true false

Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini Inputs

These inputs appear when model is set to “Seedance 2.0 Fast” or “Seedance 2.0 Mini”. Both models share the same input set.

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`prompt`	Text prompt for video generation. Default: empty string.	STRING	Yes	Multiline text
`resolution`	Resolution of the output video.	COMBO	Yes	”480p" "720p”
`ratio`	Aspect ratio of the output video. Default: adaptive.	COMBO	Yes	”16:9" "4:3" "1:1" "3:4" "9:16" "21:9" "adaptive”
`duration`	Duration of the output video in seconds (4-15). Default: 7.	INT	Yes	4 to 15
`generate_audio`	Enable audio generation for the output video. Default: True.	BOOLEAN	Yes	true false

Reference Inputs

These growable reference slots are available for all models. The maximum number of slots differs per model: Seedance 2.5 supports up to 30 images, 10 videos, 10 audios, and 30 assets; Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, and 2.0 Mini support up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audios, and 9 assets.

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`reference_images`	Growable slot: connect 1..N reference images that guide the output. The count limit is per model (see model sections). Images are validated for aspect ratio (0.4 to 2.5) and auto-downscaled to a maximum side of 6000 pixels.	IMAGE	No	1..9 slots (Seedance 2.0 family) 1..30 slots (Seedance 2.5)
`reference_videos`	Growable slot: connect 1..N reference videos. The count limit is per model (see model sections). Each video must be at least 1.8 seconds long and must fit the pixel limits for the selected model and resolution.	VIDEO	No	1..3 slots (Seedance 2.0 family) 1..10 slots (Seedance 2.5)
`reference_audios`	Growable slot: connect 1..N reference audio tracks. The count limit is per model (see model sections). Each audio must be at least 1.8 seconds long.	AUDIO	No	1..3 slots (Seedance 2.0 family) 1..10 slots (Seedance 2.5)
`reference_assets`	Growable slot: connect 1..N asset ID strings for media already uploaded to the Seedance virtual library. Each asset must be Active. You can refer to an asset in the prompt with tokens such as `asset1` or `asset 1`; the node replaces them with the asset’s positional label (for example “Image 2” or “Video 1”).	STRING	No	1..9 slots (Seedance 2.0 family) 1..30 slots (Seedance 2.5)
`auto_downscale`	Automatically downscale reference videos that exceed the model’s pixel budget for the selected resolution. Aspect ratio is preserved; videos already within limits are untouched. Default: True.	BOOLEAN	No	true false
`auto_upscale`	Automatically upscale reference videos that are below the model’s minimum pixel count for the selected resolution. Aspect ratio is preserved; videos already meeting the minimum are untouched. Note: upscaling a low-resolution source does not add real detail and may produce lower-quality generations. Default: False. Advanced setting.	BOOLEAN	No	true false

Note: At least one reference image, video, or asset is required to run the node (Seedance 2.5 also accepts audio-only references). Reference videos and audios must each be at least 1.8 seconds long, and the combined duration of all reference videos (and separately, all reference audios) must not exceed the selected model’s maximum total seconds. Reference images must have an aspect ratio between roughly 2:5 and 5:2 (0.4 to 2.5), be at least 300x300 pixels, and are automatically downscaled to a maximum side of 6000 pixels. The task_type “edit” and “extend” options are only available with Seedance 2.5 and both require at least one reference video; when “edit” is used, the output keeps the source clip’s own length and aspect ratio and the duration and ratio widgets are ignored, and when “extend” is used, the output contains only the newly generated segment at the duration you set. Referenced assets must be in Active status, otherwise the task fails.

Outputs

Output Name	Description	Data Type
`video`	The generated video, downloaded from the provider once the generation task completes. Contains audio when audio generation is enabled.	VIDEO
