The race for AI video generation supremacy has a new frontrunner. ByteDance’s Seedance 1.0 Pro has stormed to the top of industry benchmarks, and we’re thrilled to announce that the Seedance V1 Pro Image-to-Video 480p model is now available on WaveSpeedAI. This powerhouse model transforms your static images into fluid, cinematic video sequences with unprecedented quality and coherence.
What Is Seedance V1 Pro I2V?
Seedance 1.0 is ByteDance’s first-generation video foundation model, developed by the company’s Seed team and unveiled in June 2025. Born from the merger of ByteDance’s Pixeldance and Seaweed developer teams, this model represents a significant leap forward in AI-powered video generation technology.
The Image-to-Video (I2V) variant takes a static image and an optional text prompt, then synthesizes natural, physics-aware motion to bring your visuals to life. Unlike many competing solutions that require separate pipelines for different modalities, Seedance handles both text-to-video and image-to-video tasks within a unified architecture—delivering seamless, consistent results regardless of your input type.
What sets Seedance apart is its remarkable understanding of complex scenes. The model generates realistic movement patterns that respect physical constraints and object relationships, producing videos that feel genuinely natural rather than artificially animated.
Key Features and Capabilities
Industry-Leading Performance Seedance 1.0 currently holds the #1 position on the Artificial Analysis Arena Leaderboard for both text-to-video and image-to-video tasks. In I2V benchmarks, it outperforms competitors including Google’s Veo 3 and Kuaishou’s Kling 2.0 by over 100 points. Human evaluators in blind studies preferred Seedance outputs 62% of the time over Veo 3, citing superior shot transitions and more coherent storytelling.
Exceptional Motion Quality The model generates smooth, stable movement with minimal jitter or flicker artifacts. Complex action sequences maintain physical realism while multi-character interactions preserve accurate spatial relationships. Whether you need subtle movements or dynamic, large-scale motion, Seedance delivers with remarkable fluidity.
Native Multi-Shot Storytelling Unlike many AI video models that struggle with scene transitions, Seedance natively supports multi-shot video generation. The model automatically creates coherent sequences with 2–3 shot transitions while maintaining subject consistency, visual style, and cinematic atmosphere throughout.
Superior Prompt Adherence Seedance excels at interpreting both simple and complex prompts accurately. On ByteDance’s proprietary SeedVideoBench-1.0 test suite, the model scored an average of 4.7/5 for prompt fidelity—significantly outperforming comparable models in understanding and executing detailed scene descriptions.
Diverse Style Support From photorealism and cyberpunk aesthetics to Japanese anime, ink wash painting, and felt textures, Seedance interprets stylistic prompts with precision. The model supports a wide range of cinematic styles including classic Hong Kong cinema, black-and-white silent films, and retro Hollywood aesthetics.
Source Image Preservation In I2V mode, Seedance reliably preserves the visual characteristics of your reference image while adding natural, physics-respecting motion. Your carefully crafted visuals remain intact as they transform into dynamic video content.
Real-World Use Cases
Social Media Content Creation Transform product shots, lifestyle images, or brand visuals into engaging video content perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Seedance’s fast generation times enable rapid iteration for content teams working on tight deadlines.
