A tightrope walker in a red jacket crosses a steel wire strung between two skyscrapers at sunset, the city far below. Wide shot from a neighboring rooftop: she is a small figure halfway across the wire against the orange sky. Camera switch. Low-angle medium shot from the wire: she steps toward the camera, arms out for balance, the wind whipping her jacket and hair. Camera switch. Close-up of her feet in thin black shoes stepping along the wire, the street hundreds of meters below.

What the name meansSeedance 1.0 Pro Fast, word by word.

Seedance

ByteDance's video models

Four generations so far: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5.

1.0

The first generation

June 2025, video only. Sound came with 1.5 Pro in December 2025.

Pro

The large model

The large 1.0 model, and the one that cuts between shots. Lite was the smaller one.

Fast

A quicker, cheaper version

October 2025, up to 3 times faster. On Sceneform it is the Speed setting.

Searching for “Seedance Pro”? It can mean 1.0 Pro, this page, or Seedance 1.5 Pro, the first one with sound. There is no Seedance 2.0 Pro: the full model is just Seedance 2.0.

A dancer in a black puffer jacket and gray cargo pants pops, hits poses and spins in an empty parking garage lit with red and blue neon

From a first frame

Your picture opens the clip. With Fixed camera on, the shot stays locked while the subject moves.

She breaks into a sharp popping routine, hits three hard poses, then spins and freezes facing the camera. Haze drifts through the red and blue light.

  2. The same dancer mid-spin, arms out and coat flaring, red pigment powder bursting around herLast frame

From a first and a last frame

Give it where the clip starts and where it ends. It fills the moves between them. Use Standard speed: Fast takes a first frame only.

She stands still, then spins hard. Red pigment powder bursts off her coat and fills the studio in slow motion. The camera holds its position.

Silent by designAdd the sound after.

Seedance 1.0 Pro renders the picture only. In Studio, lay a voiceover, music or sound effects under the clip and export one MP4. For people talking in the shot, use Seedance 2.5.
