FAQ from Seedance AI
What is Seedance AI?
Seedance AI is a next-generation AI video generation platform developed by ByteDance, built on the proprietary Seedance 1.0 Pro model and Unified DiT architecture. It empowers professionals to create cinematic, multi-shot, commercially viable videos directly from text or images—delivering unprecedented control, consistency, and quality at scale.
How do I get started with Seedance AI?
Select “Text to Video” to describe your scene in detail—or “Image to Video” to animate an existing visual. Configure resolution (480p or 1080p), aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 21:9), and duration (5s or 10s). Hit “Generate,” and within seconds, download a ready-to-use MP4 file.
What’s the difference between Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video?
Text-to-Video interprets descriptive language into fully realized motion sequences—ideal for conceptual ideation. Image-to-Video adds intelligent motion, depth, and temporal progression to still visuals—perfect for breathing life into sketches, product photos, or storyboards.
Which resolutions, aspect ratios, and durations does Seedance support?
Resolution: 480p (fast preview) and 1080p (final delivery). Aspect Ratios: 1:1 (social feeds), 4:3 (presentations), 16:9 (YouTube/streaming), and 21:9 (cinematic storytelling). Duration: 5 seconds (high-impact hooks) or 10 seconds (narrative development).
How many credits does each video cost?
Credits scale with output fidelity: 480p videos require 1 credit (5s) or 2 credits (10s); 1080p videos require 5 credits (5s) or 10 credits (10s). Subscribers receive monthly credit allowances; one-time purchases never expire.
Can I use Seedance-generated videos commercially?
Yes—absolutely. All outputs are royalty-free and licensed for unrestricted commercial use, including advertising, SaaS demos, e-learning platforms, film festivals, and client deliverables.
Do unused credits carry over?
Purchased credits remain active indefinitely. Subscription-based credits reset monthly—but any unused balance from your prior cycle carries forward automatically, with no expiration or loss.
