Seedance v1 Lite I2V 480p — bytedance/seedance-v1-lite-i2v-480p
Seedance v1 Lite I2V 480p generates short videos from a single reference image plus a motion-focused prompt. Upload a starting image, describe the action and camera beats, and the model animates the scene while keeping the input image as the visual anchor. You can also provide an optional last_image to guide how the clip ends, and enable camera_fixed when you want motion without camera movement.
Key capabilities
- Image-to-video generation anchored to a reference image (480p output)
- Lightweight, fast iteration for short clips and quick variations
- Optional last_image support for smoother ending continuity
- Optional camera_fixed mode for stable framing
- Seed control for reproducible takes
Use cases
- Action shots from a single keyframe (sports, skating, dance, gestures)
- Social prototypes and quick story beats at low cost
- Start-to-end guided shots using last_image for more predictable endings
- Product/object animation with stable framing (camera_fixed)
- Generating multiple variations quickly by changing seed

Prompting guide (I2V)
Write prompts like a director’s beat sheet:
- Subject action: what changes over time (glide, jump, turn, land, celebrate)
- Camera: follow, dolly, pan, slow push-in (or keep fixed)
- Environment: motion blur cues, dust, wind, crowd movement, lighting shifts
- Continuity: explicitly say what must remain consistent (subject identity, outfit, setting)
Example prompts
- A skateboarder performs a smooth boardslide along the ledge in a sunny skatepark. Camera follows from a low wide angle, then gently pushes in as he lands. Natural motion blur, crisp daylight, energetic vibe.
- A runner sprints past the camera, dust kicks up, shallow depth of field, camera pans to follow, dynamic sports cinematography, 5 seconds.
- A dancer spins and stops on beat, stage lights flicker softly, camera slow orbit, clean motion, 5 seconds.
