Bytedance Seedance V1 Lite I2V 1080p API Documentation

Playground

Seedance Lite creates coherent multi-shot image-to-video clips in 1080p with smooth, stable motion and accurate prompt following. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Seedance V1 Lite Image-to-Video 1080p is Full HD image-to-video generation model that transforms static images into stunning 1080p videos. With optional last-frame control, flexible durations up to 12 seconds, and multiple aspect ratios, create cinematic animations from any image.

Why It Stands Out

• Full HD 1080p output: Generate high-resolution videos with exceptional clarity.
• First and last frame control: Optionally specify an ending image for precise animation control.
• Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
• Flexible duration: Generate videos from 2 to 12 seconds long.
• Multiple aspect ratios: Wide range from ultrawide 21:9 to vertical 9:16.
• Camera control: Option to fix camera position for stable shots.
• Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.

Parameters

Supported Aspect Ratios

How to Use

1. Upload your source image — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
2. Write a prompt (optional) — describe the motion you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
3. Upload a last image (optional) — specify an ending frame for controlled animation.
4. Set duration — choose video length from 2 to 12 seconds.
5. Select aspect ratio — choose the format that fits your platform.
6. Enable camera_fixed (optional) — check for stable, static camera shots.
7. Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
8. Preview and download the result.

Best Use Cases

• Artwork Animation — Bring paintings, illustrations, and art to life.
• Social Media Content — Create platform-optimized videos for any channel.
• Marketing & Advertising — Animate product images and hero shots.
• Creative Transitions — Use first/last frame control for smooth morphing effects.
• Music Videos — Generate dynamic visuals from album art.

Pricing

Billing Rules

• Billed per 5 seconds at $0.45
• Minimum duration: 2 seconds
• Maximum duration: 12 seconds

Pro Tips for Best Quality

• Use high-resolution, well-lit source images for optimal results.
• Use last_image for controlled transitions between two specific frames.
• Enable camera_fixed for professional-looking static shots.
• Choose 21:9 for cinematic content, 9:16 for mobile-first platforms.
• Start with shorter durations to test concepts, then extend for final versions.

Notes

• Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
• Processing time varies based on duration and current queue load.
• Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
