ByteDance's first Seedance with sound
Seedance 1.5 Pro
ByteDance's video model that makes the picture and its sound in one pass. Sceneform doesn't run it. ByteDance's BytePlus API runs it until November 11, 2026. Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 take its place, with longer takes and references.
On BytePlus, a 5-second 720p clip with sound costs about $0.26, billed by the token. Compare the versions

Prompts to start withA camera move and a sound.
A dolly zoom
A woman in a red coat stands alone in the middle of an empty crosswalk on a wet city street at night, neon signs with no readable text glowing on the towers around her. Medium shot, dolly zoom: the camera pulls back while zooming in, so she stays the same size as the street behind her stretches away and the towers loom over her. (a low, rising synth drone) <rain hissing on the asphalt> Her mouth stays closed, no narration.
Sound you can see
Low close-up at night under one orange streetlight: a skateboarder in plain dark clothes and dark sneakers with all-black soles and no heel tab ollies onto a steel handrail, grinds all the way down with sparks spitting from the trucks, and lands hard on the concrete. The camera tracks low alongside. <wheels rolling on concrete> <steel screeching on the rail> <the board slaps the ground on landing> No music, no narration.

Seedance 1.5 Pro FAQ
Seedance 1.5 Pro is a video model ByteDance released on December 16, 2025. It was the first Seedance that made sound: speech with lip sync, effects, and music come out with the picture in one pass. It makes clips of 4 to 12 seconds at up to 1080p, from a prompt or from a first frame.
No. Sceneform runs Seedance 2.5, 2.0, and 2.0 Mini, and keeps the silent Seedance 1.0 Pro among its legacy models. Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 make sound too, start from the same prompts and frames, and take image, clip, and sound references that 1.5 Pro could not. To run 1.5 Pro itself, use ByteDance's BytePlus API until November 11, 2026.
Yes. ByteDance's pricing page for BytePlus, its international API, lists Seedance 1.5 Pro as retiring on November 11, 2026. ByteDance's newer Seedance models are 2.0 and 2.5.
On BytePlus, ByteDance bills it by the token: $2.40 per million tokens with sound and $1.20 without, which comes to about $0.26 for a 5-second 720p clip with sound. Sceneform runs its successors, Seedance 2.0 and 2.5. Plans start at $19 a month for 500 credits. A 4-second clip at 480p costs 14 credits on Seedance 2.0 and 20 on Seedance 2.5, so the Creator plan covers about 35 Seedance 2.0 clips or 25 Seedance 2.5 clips. The exact cost shows before you generate.
4 to 12 seconds, or the model picked the length. 480p, 720p, or 1080p at 24 frames a second, in 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16. Seedance 2.0 goes to 15 seconds and 4K. Seedance 2.5 goes to 30 seconds.
Yes. It took a first frame, or a first and a last frame, and filled the motion between them. It took no other references. Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 take a first and last frame too. Instead of frames, they can take image, clip, and sound references: up to 50 on Seedance 2.5 and 12 on Seedance 2.0.
English, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Indonesian, plus Cantonese, Sichuanese, Shaanxi, and a Taiwanese accent, with lip sync. ByteDance says Seedance 2.5 speaks more than ten languages. In a Seedance 2.5 prompt, name the language before each line: She says in Spanish, {¡Hola!}
Seedance 1.5 Pro isn't on Sceneform, and its API retires on November 11, 2026. Use Seedance 2.5 for takes up to 30 seconds, up to 50 references, and edits to a clip you have. Use Seedance 2.0 for 4K and for clips up to 15 seconds at a lower price per second. Both make sound the way 1.5 Pro did.
ByteDance offers Seedance 1.5 Pro as a hosted API until November 11, 2026, not as a download. Sceneform has no separate model API. You can run Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 in the app, from an AI agent through Sceneform's MCP server, or from the sceneform command line.
Yes. Every paid Sceneform plan includes commercial use of Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 videos, and exports carry no watermark. For Seedance 1.5 Pro clips made on BytePlus, BytePlus's own terms apply.
1.5 Pro made sound part of the shot.Seedance 2.5 keeps it.
