<MdxHeadingH2>What is Seedance 1.0?</MdxHeadingH2>

<MdxParagraph>Seedance 1.0, developed by ByteDance, is designed for text and image-to-video creation. You can also upload a video as a reference; and the model will use its starting frame. Seedance uses a unified multimodal framework that allows for coherent, cinematic clips. Two versions are available: Lite, which prioritizes speed and efficiency, and Pro, which provides higher resolution, advanced narrative control, and stronger consistency across shots.</MdxParagraph>

<MdxParagraph>Seedance is part of ByteDance’s growing AI ecosystem, which also includes the image model Seedream 3.0. You can learn more in this <a href="https://www.freepik.com/ai/docs/seedream-3-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Seedream 3.0 guide</a>.</MdxParagraph>

<MdxParagraph>Creating effective prompts is essential when working with Seedance 1.0 because this model excels at both text-to-video and image-to-video. Follow a clear structure that guides the model to get the best results.</MdxParagraph>
