About this model
Seedance 2 Image-to-Video 480p is the fast, cost-effective variant of Seedance's image animation technology. Upload an image and describe the motion or narrative you want to unfold, and the model animates that image into a dynamic 480p video. The 480p resolution is ideal for previews, rapid prototyping, draft approval, and social media content where high resolution is less critical.
Perfect for content creators, animators, and marketers who need quick turnarounds and cost-effective video generation. At just $0.60 per generation, 480p Seedance lets you iterate on multiple narrative directions, motion styles, and duration options without the cost of 720p or higher-resolution variants.

Frequently asked
Seedance 2 Image-to-Video 480p costs $0.60 per generation on muapi. This covers one complete video animation from image prompt, regardless of duration within platform limits.
480p is ideal for rapid prototyping, social media content (Reels, TikTok, Stories), client previews, and draft approval. It renders faster and costs less than 720p, making it perfect for iteration cycles. Use higher resolution for final broadcast or print deliverables.
Motion direction and style are primarily controlled through your prompt description. The quality setting affects rendering detail, and duration determines how much narrative unfolds. Experiment with prompt language (e.g., 'slow cinematic pan' vs. 'fast dramatic movement') to shape the animation style.
