About Seedance v1.0 Pro
Seedance v1.0 Pro is the top Seedance 1.0 tier for film- and broadcast-style video production. It generates 1080p video at 24 fps with clip durations from two to 12 seconds and supports both text-to-video and image-to-video input modes. Seven aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, 9:21) cover broadcast, social, and cinema display contexts.
The Seedance 1.0 tech report describes the architecture as a unified framework that handles T2V and I2V tasks via binary mask conditioning, with Multi-modal RoPE (MM-RoPE) encoding for interleaved visual and textual tokens. This design supports native multi-shot transitions, including smooth cuts between wide, medium, and close-up compositions, without post-processing.
The tech report places Seedance 1.0 first on Artificial Analysis leaderboard rankings for both T2V and I2V tasks. Use Seedance v1.0 Pro for final delivery, client presentations, and workflows where you need Pro-tier motion fidelity and controls.

What To Consider When Choosing a Provider
- Configuration: For production pipelines at Pro-tier quality, verify provider concurrency limits meet your throughput requirements for time-sensitive delivery schedules. Compare rates (N/A; N/A).
- Zero Data Retention: AI Gateway does not currently support Zero Data Retention for this model. See the documentation for models that support ZDR.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an API key or OIDC token. You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.
When to Use Seedance v1.0 Pro
Best For
- Final-delivery video assets: Advertising, film, or broadcast work that requires 1080p output and Pro-tier motion fidelity
- Image-to-video workflows: Precise compositional control with first-and-last-frame conditioning
- Multi-shot sequences: Native scene transitions between wide, medium, and close-up compositions flow without manual editing
- Genre-specific cinematography: Film conventions, lighting, shot grammar, and pacing matter for the edit
Consider Alternatives When
- Budget or iteration speed: Seedance 1.0 Lite offers lower-cost prototyping at comparable resolution
- Faster generation: Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast delivers approximately 3x faster generation at approximately 72% lower cost
- Audio-synchronized video: Seedance 1.5 Pro adds native audio-visual joint generation with dialogue and sound effects
Conclusion
Seedance v1.0 Pro is the quality ceiling of the Seedance 1.0 line. It delivers production-ready 1080p output with motion modeling and cinematic controls for professional video workflows. Choose it when you need Pro-tier fidelity and controls, not Lite or Pro Fast tradeoffs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is first-and-last-frame control in Seedance v1.0 Pro?
You specify both the opening and closing frames of the generated clip. This gives precise control over the video's visual bookends and enables consistent transitions in multi-clip sequences.
How does Seedance v1.0 Pro differ from the Pro Fast variant?
Pro Fast generates video approximately 3x faster at approximately 72% lower cost. Choose Pro when throughput isn't time-constrained and maximum quality is the priority.
What aspect ratios does Seedance v1.0 Pro support?
Seven ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, and 9:21, spanning landscape, portrait, square, and ultra-wide formats.
Does Seedance v1.0 Pro support image-to-video in addition to text-to-video?
Yes. Both input modalities are supported within the same model, along with optional first-and-last-frame image control.
How was the Seedance 1.0 quality level validated?
The Seedance 1.0 tech report cites first-place rankings on Artificial Analysis T2V and I2V leaderboards.
