## Fast iteration and daily production Seedance Lite is ByteDance's entry-level model in the Seedance family — designed for users who need fast turnaround on everyday video content. Despite being the lightweight variant, it inherits the Seedance architecture's core strength: multi-shot narrative coherence, where subjects and visual style remain consistent across scene transitions within a single generation. At 480p, 720p, or 1080p, Seedance Lite is the most credit-efficient option in the Seedance lineup for volume production — social media content, e-commerce product animations, and rapid iteration on creative ideas. ## Capabilities Optimized for speed — one of the faster models in the lineup for everyday content creation and high-frequency workflows. Subjects and visual style remain consistent across shots and scene transitions — a key Seedance architecture strength even in the Lite tier. Choose from 480p (fast, low cost), 720p (balanced), or 1080p for the output quality that matches your credit budget. Supports both text-to-video and image-to-video workflows for versatile content creation. Fast generation and flexible resolution make Seedance Lite ideal for high-volume e-commerce product animations and social media clips. Maintains subject identity and style continuity across multi-shot sequences — useful for storyboards and brand content. ## Specifications | Feature | Details | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------- | | **Developer** | ByteDance | | **Resolution** | 480p, 720p, 1080p | | **Duration** | 3–12 seconds | | **Audio** | No native audio | | **Input modes** | Text-to-video, image-to-video | | **Optimized for** | Speed, daily workflows, high-volume | ## How to use Log into ImagineArt and go to the **AI Video Generator**.
