Dual Most Creative Engines
Bring Text or Images to Life
Produce visually engaging videos from either image inputs or descriptive prompts. Both creation modes offer granular control over movement, tone, and flow — giving you full artistic command.
Studio-Level Video Quality
Smooth, Sharp & Share-Ready
Generate cinematic-quality videos using advanced neural rendering, designed to deliver flawless motion, fine detail, and broadcast-grade visual fidelity.
Next-Gen Motion Intelligence
Organic Animation with AI Precision
Harness cutting-edge AI to simulate natural movements — like flowing water, waving hair, or swaying fabric — with unmatched fluidity and temporal realism.
Some Video Examples:
Smooth & Stable Motion:
Prompt: In the morning, a teenager cycles through an old European city district. The shot cuts from the bicycle wheels on cobblestone streets to a front-facing perspective of him riding, and finally ends with him pedaling into a sunlit square.
Prompt: A model in a black backless gown walks gracefully on a vibrant red runway. Light showcases the fluidity of the fabric. Sight of the audience follows the model, and finally, the lights dim.
Prompt: A skier glides over fresh snow, kicking up large clouds of snow as he turns. Accelerating gradually down the slope, the camera moves smoothly alongside.
Prompt: [12V] On the street, the camera follows a group of people riding horses as they walk forward.
Native Multi-Shot Storytelling:
Prompt: [Low-angle tracking shot] A small fox trots nimbly through the forest. Sunlight filters down through gaps in the leaves. The fox stops, alertly perking up its ears. [Cut to] Spotting danger, it quickly turns and flees, with the camera chasing after the fox as it dodges through the dense woods..
Prompt: Multiple shots. A detective enters a dimly lit room. He examines the clues on the table, picks up an object from the surface, and the camera turns to him, capturing a thoughtful expression.
Prompt: A European bride stands alone in front of a vanity mirror minutes before her wedding. The shot begins with a close-up of her smiling reflection in the mirror as she adjusts her hairpiece, then pans to a table scattered with cosmetics and perfume bottles. As the groom opens the door, his figure gradually comes into focus from a blur.
Prompt: [12V] A girl plays the piano with multiple camera shots switching, presenting a cinematic texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Seedance 1.0?
A next‑generation AI model by ByteDance that can generate dynamic, multi-shot videos (5–10 seconds, up to 1080p) from both text prompts and images. It stands out for its smooth, cinematic-quality motion, strong prompt adherence, and dual-mode versatility.
How do I access or use Seedance 1.0?
Access is typically via platforms like CapCut’s Dreamina, Runcomfy AI Playground, or dedicated dashboards. Select “Seedance 1.0 mini/Lite/Pro”, enter a textual prompt or upload an image, and choose resolution and duration settings.
What are the differences between Lite and Pro?
- Lite: Fast browser-based generation at 480p–720p, 5–10 second clips—ideal for quick, affordable testing.
- Pro: Full 1080p output with higher fidelity, longer sequences, and advanced consistency features—designed for professional use
What makes Seedance better than other AI video tools?
Core strengths include:
- Native multi-shot generation with cinematic transitions.
- Excellent prompt- and camera-control, including pan, zoom, and multi-agent coordination.
- High-resolution, smooth motion with robust temporal consistency
What resolution and clip lengths are supported?
Lite version supports 480p–720p video up to 10 seconds. Pro version enables full 1080p, with similar duration or potentially longer formats, depending on platform.
How fast is the generation process?
Thanks to a draft‑and‑refine pipeline, a 5-second 1080p video can be generated in about 41 seconds on GPU systems like NVIDIA L20—roughly 10× faster than conventional diffusion models.
Can I reuse characters or maintain continuity across videos?
Pro-level Seedance supports maintaining consistent characters, styles, and environments across multi-shot scenes within a single video. Cross-video continuity may be possible via reference prompts or image guides
Are commercial rights included?
Depending on the platform, commercial usage rights may vary. Always check the specific terms of service (e.g., CapCut, Runcomfy). Some versions include commercial rights; others may require a license
What input formats are accepted?
Text-to-video: Write natural-language prompts, e.g., “a cyberpunk street at night with neon reflections.”
Image-to-video: Upload a reference image to animate or extend—useful for stylistic consistency
What limitations should I be aware of?
- Limited to short clips (5–10 seconds)—longer formats may be possible only in Pro.
- Currently no integrated audio; video-only output .
- Quality can vary based on prompt specificity and system load.
