Seedance V1 Lite — Image-to-Video 1080p

Seedance V1 Lite Image-to-Video 1080p is Full HD image-to-video generation model that transforms static images into stunning 1080p videos. With optional last-frame control, flexible durations up to 12 seconds, and multiple aspect ratios, create cinematic animations from any image.

Why It Stands Out

  • Full HD 1080p output: Generate high-resolution videos with exceptional clarity.
  • First and last frame control: Optionally specify an ending image for precise animation control.
  • Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
  • Flexible duration: Generate videos from 2 to 12 seconds long.
  • Multiple aspect ratios: Wide range from ultrawide 21:9 to vertical 9:16.
  • Camera control: Option to fix camera position for stable shots.
  • Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptNoText description of desired motion and style.
imageYesSource image to animate (upload or public URL).
last_imageNoOptional ending frame image for controlled transitions.
durationNoVideo length: 2–12 seconds (default: 5).
aspect_ratioNoOutput aspect ratio (default: matches source).
camera_fixedNoFix camera position for stable shots.
seedNoSet for reproducibility; -1 for random.

Supported Aspect Ratios

Aspect RatioBest For
21:9Cinematic ultrawide content
16:9YouTube, widescreen displays
4:3Classic format, presentations
1:1Instagram posts, social media squares
3:4Portrait photos, Pinterest
9:16TikTok, Instagram Stories, Reels

How to Use

  1. Upload your source image — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
  2. Write a prompt (optional) — describe the motion you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
  3. Upload a last image (optional) — specify an ending frame for controlled animation.
  4. Set duration — choose video length from 2 to 12 seconds.
  5. Select aspect ratio — choose the format that fits your platform.
  6. Enable camera_fixed (optional) — check for stable, static camera shots.
  7. Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
  8. Preview and download the result.

Best Use Cases

  • Artwork Animation — Bring paintings, illustrations, and art to life.
  • Social Media Content — Create platform-optimized videos for any channel.
  • Marketing & Advertising — Animate product images and hero shots.
  • Creative Transitions — Use first/last frame control for smooth morphing effects.
  • Music Videos — Generate dynamic visuals from album art.

Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-v1-lite-i2v-1080p with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p below.

Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p API?

Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p is a ByteDance model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedance Lite creates coherent multi-shot image-to-video clips in 1080p with smooth, stable motion and accurate prompt following. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-v1-lite-i2v-1080p.

How much does Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p cost per run?

Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p starts at $0.45 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `duration`, `seed`, `camera_fixed`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedance-v1-lite-i2v-1080p.

How long does Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 90 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Seedance v1 Lite I2v 1080p outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
