Who Builds Seedance 1 Lite
Seedance is ByteDance's breakthrough generative video model family — built by the team behind TikTok's world-class recommendation and visual intelligence stack. Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 excel at 60 FPS cinematic motion coherence, realistic human physical dynamics, complex multi-subject interactions, start/end keyframe interpolation, and reference video motion transfer without the typical warping or uncanny artifacts found in earlier generative models.

Seedance 1 Lite — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Seedance 1 Lite cost?
It depends on resolution. A 5-second clip costs 11 credits at 480p and 43 credits at 1080p. Visualix AI prints the exact cost on the Generate button before you commit, and refunds automatically if a run fails.
How long can a Seedance 1 Lite video be?
Seedance 1 Lite handles up to 10 seconds in a single pass — selectable lengths are 5s and 10s. For longer pieces, generate several shots and cut them together in the editor.
Does Seedance 1 Lite generate sound?
No. Seedance 1 Lite outputs silent video. Add narration or music afterwards with the text-to-speech tool, or pick a model with native audio such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.0.
Can I animate my own image with Seedance 1 Lite?
Yes. Upload a still and Seedance 1 Lite animates it, and you can supply an end frame to control where the shot finishes. Image-to-video generally gives you far more control over composition than describing the same scene in words.
What resolution does Seedance 1 Lite output?
480p, 720p and 1080p. Anything you generate can be pushed to 4K afterwards with the video upscaler.
Can Seedance 1 Lite make vertical video for TikTok and Reels?
Yes — Seedance 1 Lite supports 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 and 9:21, so you can generate natively vertical 9:16 footage rather than cropping a landscape render.
Do my credits expire?
No. Unused credits expire at plan renewal/expiration. There is no throttled "unlimited" tier and no queue that slows down the more you use it — you see the price of each generation and pay that.
