Introducing ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite T2V 480p on WaveSpeedAI

ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite Now Available on WaveSpeedAI

The AI video generation landscape just got more accessible. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of ByteDance Seedance V1 Lite T2V 480p, bringing the power of one of the most advanced text-to-video models directly to your creative workflow. Built by the team behind TikTok and CapCut, Seedance represents a major leap forward in AI-powered video creation.

What is Seedance V1 Lite?

Seedance V1 Lite is a streamlined version of ByteDance’s flagship Seedance 1.0 video generation model. Developed by ByteDance’s Seed research team and officially released in June 2025, this model transforms text descriptions into coherent, multi-shot videos with remarkable stability and visual quality.

While the full Seedance Pro model targets 1080p production-grade output, the Lite variant is optimized for rapid prototyping and iterative creative exploration at 480p resolution. This makes it ideal for creators who need to quickly test concepts, experiment with prompts, and develop video ideas before committing to higher-resolution renders.

The model architecture combines a temporally-causal VAE with a decoupled spatio-temporal diffusion transformer—technical innovations that ensure smooth frame-to-frame transitions and physically plausible motion throughout your generated videos.

Key Features

• Native Multi-Shot Generation: Unlike many video models that produce single continuous shots, Seedance V1 Lite natively supports narrative videos with multiple cohesive shots. It maintains consistency in subjects, visual style, and atmosphere across shot transitions, enabling cinematic storytelling in a single generation.

• Wide Dynamic Motion Range: From subtle facial expressions to dynamic action sequences, the model handles the full spectrum of movement with stability and physical realism. Complex action sequences and multi-agent interactions maintain accurate spatial relationships.

• Precise Prompt Following: Seedance excels at parsing natural language descriptions, giving you stable control over camera movements, scene compositions, and character actions. The model achieves high scores in prompt adherence benchmarks, faithfully translating your vision into video.

• Diverse Visual Styles: Whether you need photorealism, cyberpunk aesthetics, illustration styles, or felt texture effects, Seedance accurately interprets stylistic prompts to support a wide range of creative directions.

• Optimized Inference Speed: Through multi-stage knowledge distillation and system-level optimizations, Seedance achieves up to 10x inference speedup compared to previous generation models—meaning faster results for your creative projects.

Use Cases

Rapid Creative Prototyping

Test video concepts quickly before committing to full production. Generate multiple variations of your idea at 480p to explore different approaches, then move to higher-resolution models once you’ve nailed the concept.

Social Media Content Creation

Create engaging short-form video content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The 480p resolution is perfectly suited for quick-turnaround social content where speed matters.

Storyboard Visualization

Transform written storyboards into dynamic video previews. The multi-shot capability makes Seedance particularly effective for visualizing narrative sequences and shot progressions.

Educational Content

Produce explanatory videos and visual demonstrations for educational materials. The model’s strong prompt adherence ensures your instructional content accurately reflects your descriptions.

Marketing and Advertising

Generate product videos, promotional content, and advertisement concepts. Quickly iterate on creative directions and messaging before investing in final production.
