Overview

About this model

Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video 480p is the faster, lower-cost tier of the Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video early-access build, animating a still image into video at 480p resolution. It's ideal for rapid previews and drafts before committing to a full 720p render, while still supporting clips up to 30 seconds.

1Draft previews: Iterate quickly on motion prompts at a lower cost before rendering at 720p.
2Batch generation: Animate large photo sets economically.
3Social content: Generate lightweight animated clips for platforms that don't need high resolution.
4Concept checks: Validate that a motion idea works before spending on a full-resolution render.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

How is this different from the 720p variant?

Same model and features, but rendered at 480p — faster and cheaper, at $0.30/sec instead of $0.60/sec.

How long can generated videos be?

Between 4 and 30 seconds, configurable via the `duration` parameter.

When should I use this over the 720p variant?

Use 480p for drafts, prompt iteration, and high-volume batch generation where resolution matters less than cost and speed.

Can I reproduce the same output twice?

Yes — pass an explicit `seed` value, or use -1 for a random seed each time.

Can I use this for production, or just drafts?

It's usable for either — the 480p tier trades resolution for speed and cost, so it's best for drafts, prompt iteration, and batch generation, while the 720p tier suits final deliverables.
