Create Video Asset

Upload a video to an existing asset group. The returned Asset ID can be referenced as asset://<ID> in Seedance 2.0 requests for video reference, extension, and similar scenarios. Supports mp4/mov format, ≤50 MB, 2–15 seconds. Video asset activation is typically 9–12 seconds in ideal conditions. Actual timing may vary with file size and review queue load; during congestion, activation may take about 10 seconds to 2 minutes. CreateAsset is asynchronous; system processing may queue the asset, and upload-time SLA is not guaranteed. Poll GetAsset after creation and use the asset only after Status becomes Active; Failed means preprocessing failed and the asset cannot be used. In generation requests, reference the asset as asset://<ID> instead of using the temporary GetAsset URL.
