Seedance
ByteDance's text-to-video and image-to-video model, known for smooth motion consistency
0About Seedance
Seedance is ByteDance's text-to-video and image-to-video model, built by the same Seed research team as Seedream and distributed through the Dreamina app and Volcengine API. It generates short video clips with notably smooth, consistent motion and camera movement, an area where many competing video models still show flicker or drift, and it has posted strong results on public video-generation benchmarks alongside Kling and Wan. Like Seedream, it has been picked up by third-party API hosts including fal.ai and Replicate, giving international developers a route to it outside ByteDance's own platforms. Seedance rounds out ByteDance's Seed-model pair, pairing an image generator with a video generator the way Runway and Kling each pair their own image and video tools.
