What resolution does Seedance render?

Seedance 2.5 renders 480p, 720p, 1080p; Seedance 2.0 goes up to 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K, including 4K. Aspect ratios cover landscape, portrait, square and 21:9 on both.

Do Seedance videos have sound?

Yes — both versions generate audio and the switch is per run, so a silent clip costs the same as one with sound and you can turn it off when the track will be added later.

Can I start from an image instead of a prompt?

Yes. Both versions take a first and last frame, and up to 9 reference inputs — images, video and audio — so a character, a location or a camera move can come from material you already have rather than from words.

Does generating cost anything?

Generating video spends credits, priced by the model, duration and resolution you choose (for example, a 7-second Hotel Lobby clip on Seedance 2.5 costs 420 credits). Starter credits on new accounts let you test basic image generation, while video rendering starts with permanent credit packs from $10 for 800 credits or monthly subscription plans, with exact estimates previewed before every run.

From prompt to Seedance clip in three steps

1
Describe the shot, or bring images
Write the prompt, add reference images and clips, or set a first and last frame. The panel lists which inputs each model takes before you start.
2
Pick Seedance, then length and resolution
Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 sit in the same picker and declare their own ranges. The panel offers exactly those, with a credit estimate before the run.
3
Keep every take
Each clip lands in a project you can reopen beside the images it came from, so a second take is a change of prompt rather than a fresh start.

Reference images in, Seedance 2.5 clip out.

Build longer stories on the infinite canvas

A Seedance run is one take. The canvas is where takes become a sequence — prompts, stills and clips on one board, with every result still attached to what made it.

Chain shots past 30 seconds

Feed a clip's end frame into the next run to keep the scene going instead of starting over.

Storyboard with your images

Wire prompts and stills into video nodes, branch alternative takes, and keep the whole sequence in one space.

Compare models side by side

Run the same idea through Seedance, Kling or Wan and keep every take next to the others.

One credit balance for Seedance and every other model

Video is priced per second by model, length and resolution, and the panel shows the estimate before the run. Nothing here is metered separately for Seedance.

Seedance questions

Seedance is ByteDance's family of AI video models. PalaPili runs two versions — Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 — in the same video studio as Kling, Wan and MiniMax, all on one credit balance.

One Seedance 2.5 run is a single continuous take of 4–30 seconds. Seedance 2.0 runs 4–15 seconds; a longer sequence is built by feeding a clip's end frame into the next run on the infinite canvas.
