See how Seedance supports text to video, image to video, and short-form generation with clear model choices, output limits, and a path from prompt to result.

This page focuses on the search terms people actually use: text to video, image to video, model access, credit usage, and downloadable output.
Write a prompt, choose a ratio, duration, and resolution, then render a short-form clip.
Use one reference image as the starting frame when you need stronger subject control.
Starter credits map to Seedance 1.5 Pro. Seedance 2.0 is the paid upgrade.
Current public output options top out at 480p or 720p, with a max of 15 seconds on 2.0.
Generation cost depends on the selected model and duration so tradeoffs are visible before render.
Completed renders can be downloaded as MP4.
Use the feature page to understand the workflow before you start generating.
Begin with text, then refine camera, motion, and subject direction inside a focused video generator.
Use one still image when you want stronger subject framing, art direction, or brand consistency.
Seedance makes duration and resolution constraints clear so you can plan shots without wasting credits.
The generator is designed for reels, launch clips, storefront promos, and explainers, not long-form production promises.
A few high-signal answers before you open the generator.
Review the features, then start with a prompt and choose the tier that matches your workflow.
