Features

Platform philosophy

Choice without compromise: Seedance recognizes that different projects have different needs. Lite tier delivers speed and efficiency for rapid iteration; Pro tier offers enhanced quality for final assets. Both tiers share intuitive controls, so you can move seamlessly between them.

Precision meets creativity: With aspect ratio support from ultra-wide 21:9 to vertical 9:21, camera control options, and seed-based reproducibility, Seedance puts professional video creation tools in your hands—without the complexity of traditional video editing.

Core capabilities

v1 Lite

Text to Video: Aspect ratios: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 9:21. Resolution: 480p (fastest), 720p (balanced), or 1080p (HD). Duration: 5s or 10s. Camera: Fixed option for stable shots. Seed: Set for reproducibility (-1 for random). Safety checker: Optional content filtering.

Image to Video: Input image URL (JPEG, PNG, WebP; max 10MB; min 256×256px). Optional end image URL for controlled transitions. Same resolution, duration, camera, and seed controls as text-to-video.

v1 Pro

Text to Video: All Lite aspect ratios plus 21:9 ultra-wide. Same resolution and duration options. Enhanced quality model for superior detail, lighting, and motion coherence.

Image to Video: Professional-grade image animation with improved motion understanding and visual fidelity. Full resolution options, camera control, seed, safety checker.

Pro Fast Image to Video: Optimized pipeline for speed. 720p or 1080p resolution, 5s or 10s duration, prompt support up to 10,000 characters. Delivers quality results in a fraction of the time.

Use cases

Social media content: Create videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts with platform-optimized aspect ratios (9:16 for vertical, 16:9 for horizontal).

Advertising campaigns: Generate product demos, brand stories, and promotional clips with consistent quality across formats.

Rapid prototyping: Use Lite tier to explore video concepts quickly before committing to final production.

Creative projects: Animate illustrations, bring concepts to life, experiment with camera movements and transitions.

Content repurposing: Transform existing images into engaging video content for multiple platforms.

Professional productions: Leverage Pro tier for client work, presentations, and assets requiring high visual fidelity.

Technical performance

v1 Lite Text/Image to Video: 20–60 seconds for 5s clips, 40–90 seconds for 10s clips (dependent on resolution and complexity).

v1 Pro Text/Image to Video: 40–120 seconds for 5s clips, 80–180 seconds for 10s clips—higher quality requires additional processing.

v1 Pro Fast Image to Video: 15–40 seconds for 5s clips, 30–70 seconds for 10s clips—optimized for speed.

Concurrency: Supports 50+ parallel requests with intelligent queue management.

Prompt length: Up to 10,000 characters for Pro Fast Image to Video; standard limits apply for other modes.

Input formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP for images; max 10MB per file.

Output: MP4 format, delivered via secure URL or direct download.

Aspect ratio support: From 21:9 ultra-wide cinematic to 9:21 vertical—cover all modern formats.

Workflow

Quick create (Lite): Write prompt → choose aspect ratio/resolution/duration → set camera/seed → generate → preview → iterate.

Professional production (Pro): Develop concept → refine prompt for detail → select Pro tier and parameters → generate multiple variations → select best → optional refinement with seed control.

Image animation: Upload image → describe motion or scene evolution → choose tier and parameters → generate → review → adjust prompt or end image as needed.

Batch campaigns: Plan content calendar → generate multiple videos with consistent aspect ratios and quality settings → unify brand style across assets.

Optimization tips

Tier selection: Use Lite for drafts, internal reviews, and rapid iteration; use Pro for client deliverables, public campaigns, and high-visibility content.

Aspect ratio strategy: Match to platform—9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube/websites, 21:9 for cinematic presentations.

Resolution choice: 480p for quick tests and low-bandwidth sharing; 720p for web and social; 1080p for HD platforms and archiving.

Duration planning: 5s works best for loops, transitions, and attention-grabbing moments; 10s allows for storytelling and demonstration.

Camera control: Use fixed camera for product focus and stable scenes; omit for dynamic, cinematic movement.

Seed management: Set specific seeds to reproduce successful results; use -1 for random exploration across generations.

Prompt engineering: Be specific about motion, style, and mood. For image-to-video, describe what should move and how.

Pro Fast advantage: Use when speed is critical—ideation sessions, last-minute content needs, high-volume testing.

Platform advantages

Dual-tier flexibility: Lite for speed, Pro for quality—one platform, both options.

Wide aspect ratio support: From 21:9 cinematic to 9:21 vertical—every format covered.

Resolution options: 480p to 1080p—choose based on need and bandwidth.

Camera control: Fixed option for stability or dynamic for creativity.

Seed reproducibility: Consistent results across sessions for brand continuity.

Ultra-long prompts: Up to 10,000 characters for detailed direction in Pro Fast mode.

Fast image-to-video: Dedicated Pro Fast pipeline when time matters most.

Best for: Social media managers, marketers, content creators, advertisers, creative agencies, and anyone needing flexible, high-quality video generation.
