Text-to-video for clean, direct scenes
Seedance 1.0 is easiest to use when the prompt names one subject, one camera move, and one visual mood. Use it for simple cinematic drafts before testing newer, heavier models.

Use Seedance 1.0 when you want a simple, proven ByteDance video model for text-to-video and image-to-video clips. It is older than Seedance 2.0, but still useful for clean prompts, quick product motion, and straightforward social video drafts.
Image-to-video when the first frame already works
Upload a product still, character frame, poster concept, or campaign image and describe only the motion. This keeps the workflow fast because the image already carries the composition.

Lite for faster checks, Pro for stronger drafts
Use Lite when you only need to see if the idea moves. Use Pro when the result needs more stable motion, cleaner camera direction, or a clip worth sharing with a client.

Comparing Seedance 1.0 with Seedance 2.0
Create in the studio
Start with the model selected, then tune resolution, duration, and prompt direction from the same workflow.
Try Seedance 1.0Seedance 1.0 quick read
An older model that still works when the task is clear
Use it for focused prompts
Seedance 1.0 works best when the shot is not overloaded: one subject, clear action, simple camera movement, and a readable lighting direction.
Good for first-pass motion
It is a practical older model for checking whether a product, scene, or source image has enough motion potential before moving to Seedance 2.0.
Text and image workflows stay separate
Start from text when the model should invent the scene. Start from an image when the composition already matters.
Simple settings make it easy to compare
With 5 or 10 second durations and 480p, 720p, or 1080p options, it is easy to run quick comparisons across Lite, Pro, and newer models.
How to use it
Keep the prompt short, visual, and easy to animate
01
Choose Lite or Pro
Pick Lite for quick direction checks or Pro when you want a cleaner first draft.
02
Write motion, not a paragraph
Name the subject, action, camera move, lighting, and mood. Avoid stacking too many scene changes into one short clip.
03
Compare with Seedance 2.0
If the idea works, test the same prompt in Seedance 2.0 when you need stronger control or a more modern workflow.
