Introducing ByteDance Seedance V1 Pro T2V 480p on WaveSpeedAI

ByteDance Seedance V1 Pro Arrives on WaveSpeedAI: Cinematic Text-to-Video Generation at Your Fingertips

The AI video generation landscape just got more exciting. WaveSpeedAI is thrilled to announce the availability of ByteDance Seedance V1 Pro (Text-to-Video 480p)—a powerful model that transforms your written prompts into stunning, cinematic video content. Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, or filmmaker, this model opens new possibilities for rapid video production without traditional filming.

What is Seedance V1 Pro?

Seedance V1 Pro is ByteDance’s flagship text-to-video generation model, born from the merger of ByteDance’s Pixeldance and Seaweed developer teams. Since its unveiling in June 2025, industry watchers have hailed it as a new benchmark for quality, speed, and cost-effectiveness in AI video generation.

The model ranks #1 on both text-to-video and image-to-video leaderboards according to Artificial Analysis rankings, surpassing major competitors including Google Veo 3, OpenAI Sora, and Kuaishou Kling 2.0. In blind studies, human raters preferred Seedance outputs 62% of the time over competing models, citing better shot transitions and more coherent storytelling.

What sets Seedance apart is its native bilingual architecture that unifies multiple generation paradigms. Using a time-causal VAE combined with a decoupled spatio-temporal Transformer architecture, plus video-specific RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), Seedance delivers exceptional prompt accuracy, motion realism, and visual aesthetics.

Key Features

Superior Motion Quality: Seedance V1 Pro generates smooth, stable movement with minimal jitter or flicker artifacts. Complex action sequences maintain physical realism while multi-character interactions preserve spatial relationships accurately.
Multi-Shot Narrative Support: Unlike models that treat video as one continuous blob, Seedance segments your content intelligently. You can create Scene A, cut to Scene B, add a close-up, then return to a wide shot—without the footage melting between transitions.
Wide Dynamic Motion Range: From subtle facial expressions to large-scale action sequences, the model handles both ends of the motion spectrum while maintaining stability and physical realism.
Precise Prompt Following: Seedance accurately parses natural language prompts, enabling stable control over multi-agent interactions, complex action sequences, and diverse camera movements to precisely translate your vision into video.
Style Versatility: Stretch your creative possibilities across realistic renders, 2D and 3D animation, anime, noir aesthetics, watercolor effects, and more—all from text descriptions.
Controllable Parameters: Select your preferred aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), choose duration (5 or 10 seconds), lock camera viewpoints when needed, and set seeds for reproducible results.
