Seedance V1 T2V Now Available on Novita AI

Seedance V1 is a state-of-the-art video generation model developed by Seed Vision, a research team within ByteDance’s Seed division. Released in June 2025, it marks an important step in making AI-powered video creation more accessible—enabling developers and creators to transform ideas into high-quality visual content with ease. To meet different needs, Seedance comes in two versions: Lite and Pro. Lite provides a cost-effective entry point for rapid experimentation, while Pro delivers higher fidelity and scalability for professional use.

In this article, we’ll walk through Seedance V1’s core features, highlight the advantages of each under text-to-image mode, and showcase real examples. Both versions are available today on Novita AI, giving teams a seamless way to start creating. With Novita AI, you can generate 5-second 1080p videos for as little as $0.41 using Seedance Lite, or $0.54 with Seedance Pro—making powerful video creation more accessible than ever.

Seedance V1: Text-to-Video Showcases

First, here are two examples to show Seedance V1 Lite and Pro in action.

Prompt: Create a video of a cold, desolate forest with dense trees and a mysterious atmosphere. A small fox moves gracefully through the forest, weaving between the trees. The mood of the video should feel chilly, quiet, and slightly eerie, with soft, diffused lighting that highlights the frosty environment.

Seedance V1: Key Highlights

Seedance V1 sets a new standard for text-to-video generation, blending creative flexibility, precise control, and efficient performance. More than just another entrant in the field, it distinguishes itself through both advanced capabilities and strong benchmark results.

Core Capabilities

• Native multi-shot storytelling: Generates cohesive narrative videos, maintaining subject consistency, style, and atmosphere across transitions.
• Smooth & stable motion: Handles both subtle expressions and large-scale movements with fluidity and physical realism.
• Precise prompt following: Faithfully translates complex natural language instructions, from multi-agent interactions to intricate camera work.
• Diverse stylistic expression: Adapts flexibly across styles—ranging from photorealism to cinematic or illustrative aesthetics.

Model Performance

Seedance 1.0 demonstrates not only strong features but also clear leadership in independent evaluations.

On the Artificial Analysis T2V leaderboard, Seedance V1 ranks first with an ELO score of 1,285, outperforming peers such as Google Veo 3 and PixVerse V5.

The radar chart further highlights its balanced profile: motion quality, aesthetics, and prompt adherence all reach consistently high levels, showing that the model achieves strength across multiple dimensions rather than excelling in only one area. This balance, combined with superior spatiotemporal fluidity and subject stability, sets Seedance apart from other state-of-the-art models.

Technical Innovations

1. Data & training: Curated multi-source video-text data with precise captions improves semantic understanding across diverse scenarios.
2. Architecture design: Built to natively support multi-shot T2V, enabling richer storytelling in a single pipeline.
3. Post-training refinements: Reinforcement learning with multi-dimensional rewards boosts fidelity and adherence to prompts.
4. High efficiency: Generates a 5-second 1080p video in ~41 seconds on NVIDIA L20 GPUs, offering a speed advantage over many state-of-the-art models.

Lite vs Pro: Which to Choose

While Seedance V1 delivers strong results across the board, the two editions are tuned for different needs.

Lite is designed for speed and cost efficiency, making it ideal for quick prototyping, experimentation, or scenarios where iteration matters more than fine detail. Pro emphasizes smoother and richer motion, producing more polished results suitable for professional storytelling or client-facing projects.

Together, Lite and Pro ensure that developers and creators can choose the balance of affordability and quality that best fits their goals.
