Introducing ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite I2V 480p on WaveSpeedAI

ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite I2V 480P Now Available on WaveSpeedAI

The AI video generation landscape just got more accessible. WaveSpeedAI is thrilled to announce the availability of ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite I2V 480P, a powerful image-to-video model that brings professional-quality video generation to creators at every level. Built by the team behind TikTok and CapCut, this model represents ByteDance’s commitment to democratizing AI video creation.

What is Seedance V1 Lite I2V 480P?

Seedance V1 Lite I2V 480P is the efficiency-optimized variant of ByteDance’s acclaimed Seedance 1.0 video generation platform. This image-to-video model transforms static images into dynamic, coherent video content with smooth motion and precise prompt adherence.

As a smaller parameter version of the Seedance model family, the Lite variant achieves an impressive balance between generation quality and speed. ByteDance accomplished this through aggressive multi-stage distillation, essentially training a nimbler student model from their larger teacher model—resulting in approximately 10x faster inference times without sacrificing visual fidelity.

The model leverages a Time-causal VAE combined with a decoupled spatio-temporal Transformer architecture, enhanced with video-specific RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) for superior prompt accuracy, motion realism, and aesthetic quality.
