## Input Parameters

- `duration` (integer, optional): Video duration in seconds. Set to -1 for intelligent duration (model picks the best length). (Default: `5`; Range: min: -1, max: 15)
- `image` (string, optional): Input image for image-to-video generation (first frame). Cannot be combined with reference images.
- `aspect_ratio` (string, optional): Video aspect ratio. Set to 'adaptive' to let the model choose the best ratio based on inputs. (Default: `16:9`; Options: `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`, `9:21`, `adaptive`)
- `seed` (integer, optional): Random seed. Set for reproducible generation.
- `reference_videos` (array, optional): Reference videos (up to 3, total duration max 15s) for motion transfer, style reference, and editing. Reference them in your prompt as [Video1], [Video2], etc. (Default: `[]`)
- `last_frame_image` (string, optional): Input image for last frame generation. Only works if a first frame image is also provided. Cannot be combined with reference images.
- `generate_audio` (boolean, optional): Generate synchronized audio with the video, including dialogue (use double quotes in prompt), sound effects, and background music. (Default: `True`)
- `reference_audios` (array, optional): Reference audio files (up to 3, total duration max 15s) for audio-driven generation and lip-sync. Requires at least one reference image or video. Reference them in your prompt as [Audio1], [Audio2], etc. (Default: `[]`)
- `prompt` (string, **required**): Text prompt for video generation. Maximum 4000 characters. BytePlus recommends keeping prompts under 600 English words for best results.
