Features

Seedance v1 Lite T2V 480p — bytedance/seedance-v1-lite-t2v-480p

Seedance v1 Lite T2V 480p generates short videos directly from a text prompt at a lightweight 480p output, optimized for fast iteration and low-cost experimentation. Describe the subject, action, scene, and camera intent, and the model produces a coherent clip suitable for quick story beats, concept drafts, and social prototypes. Enable camera_fixed when you want motion in-scene without camera movement.

Key capabilities

• Text-to-video generation (480p) optimized for speed and affordability
• Good motion when prompts include clear actions and camera direction
• Optional camera_fixed mode for stable framing
• Supports common aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9)

Use cases

• Rapid pre-visualization and storyboarding drafts
• Quick concept testing before upgrading to higher resolution runs
• Social prototypes and lightweight animated clips
• Generating multiple variations via seed for ideation

Pricing

Parameters

• prompt (required): Describe what happens in the video (subject, action, scene, mood)
• aspect_ratio: Output aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• duration (required): Video length in seconds
• camera_fixed: Whether to fix the camera position
• seed: Random seed (-1 for random; fixed value for reproducible results)

Prompting guide (T2V)

Write prompts like a director’s brief:

• Subject: who/what is on screen
• Action: what changes over time (fluttering, turning, walking, reacting)
• Scene: where it happens + time of day
• Lighting: sunrise, neon, soft volumetrics, etc.
• Camera: only describe movement if camera_fixed is off

Example prompts

• A knight stands on a cliff overlooking a medieval city as sunrise breaks, banners flutter in the wind, camera slowly dolly-in, golden fog fills the valley, epic fantasy tone, soft sunrise lighting.
• A cozy café interior at night, rain on windows, warm tungsten lighting, subtle camera drift, calm mood, gentle motion.
• A sci-fi hallway with blinking lights and drifting mist, a character slowly turns toward the camera, dramatic rim light, cinematic tension.
