Seedance Pro — 1080p, strong on human motion.

Sign up free to use →From 165 ⚡ per render

Seedance Pro is ByteDance's premium AI video model — the same family powering TikTok's effects engine but exposed as a general-purpose API. Best in class for human subjects: faces stay consistent, body proportions hold across motion, dance and gesture work cleanly. 1080p 5-second output. Both text-to-video (165 credits) and image-to-video (165 credits) supported. We route via Kie.ai for ~52% savings over fal.ai.

How ByteDance Seedance Pro AI Video Generator works

  1. 1

    Pick T2V or I2V

    Text-to-video (165 ⚡) for fresh generations from a prompt. Image-to-video (165 ⚡) for animating an existing photo. Same price either way.

  2. 2

    Write a prompt

    Seedance excels at human action — describe gestures, expressions, body motion clearly ("woman waving at camera, smiling, hair blowing in wind"). Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1.

  3. 3

    Generate + download

    Renders in 60-120s typical. 1080p MP4 output with H.264, no audio (use Voice Clone to add narration). Commercial use OK.

Frequently asked questions

What's Seedance Pro best for?

Human subjects in motion — dancing, gestures, walking, talking. ByteDance trained it on TikTok content so faces, hands, and body proportions are noticeably better than other models. Less strong on: complex landscapes, abstract scenes, fantasy creatures.

Seedance Pro vs Seedance Lite — which to pick?

Lite (48 ⚡) is 720p and 3.5× cheaper — use for volume, social drafts, A/B testing prompts. Pro (165 ⚡) is 1080p with sharper faces — use for final exports, hero shots, and anything that'll be cropped or zoomed.

Does Seedance Pro support image-to-video?

Yes — `seedance_pro_i2v_5s` SKU. Upload a start image, write a motion prompt, and Seedance animates from that frame. Same 165 credits as T2V. Great for product shots, character animation, and scene continuation.

How does Seedance compare to Kling and Wan?

Seedance > Kling/Wan for human subjects (faces, hands, body motion). Kling > Seedance for cinematic camera moves. Wan > Seedance for cost (Wan 2.7 at 133 ⚡ vs Seedance Pro at 165 ⚡). Pick by your dominant subject type.

Why no 10-second tier?

ByteDance only ships 5-second clips on Seedance Pro v1. The newer Seedance 2.0 (in catalog at 399 ⚡) supports longer multi-shot output but at premium pricing. For 10s on a budget, use Kling 2.6 or Wan 2.7.

What about audio?

Seedance Pro doesn't generate audio. For audio output, layer our Voice Clone (Sarvam for Hindi/Hinglish, Chatterbox for English) on top after the video renders, or pick Kling 2.6 with audio for native sound.
