About Seedance v1.0 Lite Text-to-Video

Seedance v1.0 Lite Text-to-Video is the text-to-video entry point in the Seedance 1.0 family. It generates video from written descriptions without a reference image. The Lite tier prioritizes generation speed and per-clip cost. It's a practical starting point for ideation, concept validation, and large-scale automated content pipelines where volume matters more than peak visual quality.

Seedance v1.0 Lite Text-to-Video shares Seedance 1.0's unified pre-training framework, which handles T2V, I2V, and text-to-image through one architecture using binary masks to differentiate task types. Prompt-following fidelity, motion stability, and multi-shot transition support are present in the Lite tier, not exclusive to Pro. The Seedance 1.0 tech report notes first-place ranking on Artificial Analysis T2V leaderboard evaluations. Output resolution options are 720p and 1080p at 24 fps, with durations from two to 12 seconds and aspect ratios spanning 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, and 9:21.

For creative teams, the Lite T2V tier suits storyboarding sessions where you evaluate many prompt variations quickly. For product and engineering teams, it offers a lower-cost path to integrating video generation into application workflows before you graduate to Pro-tier renders for final delivery.
