Six directions worth exploring

Six directions to start from. Pick one and its prompt, model and settings load into the composer above, ready to change.

Text to video

Recreate

A futuristic white concept roadster glides through a rain-washed avenue at blue hour. Low tracking camera, coherent vehicle geometry, wet reflections, restrained cyan light, premium automotive film, one continuous shot. No text, logos, interface graphics, or abrupt cuts.

Image to video

Recreate

Animate the supplied futuristic motorcycle reference inside a bright aerodynamic test chamber. Preserve the bike and rider design while visible air streams wrap around the bodywork. Smooth push-in, stable anatomy and mechanics, clean commercial lighting. No text, logos, morphing, or collisions.

Multi-shot stories

Recreate

A folded-screen device becomes a portal connecting an athletic track, a modern gallery, and a sunlit corridor. Keep the same presenter and device coherent across connected shots, with deliberate transitions and cinematic pacing. No text, logos, broken screens, or duplicate people.

Worldflight

Recreate

A low seaplane departure built around speed, spray, and a wide environmental reveal.

Monsoon terraces

Recreate

An expansive landscape study balancing water, atmosphere, and camera drift.

Studio portrait

Recreate

A restrained fashion portrait shaped by pose continuity and precise flash timing.

What to know before generating

What is Seedance AI?

Seedance is ByteDance's AI video model family for generating video from text and image references. Shedance AI provides an independent interface for accessing supported Seedance variants.

Which Seedance model is selected by default?

The homepage starts with Seedance 2.5. Available variants and exact generation options are loaded from the live model catalog.

Can I use video models other than Seedance?

Yes. Seedance is the default and the main focus of this page, but you can open the model selector and choose another supported video model.

Is Shedance AI affiliated with ByteDance?

No. Shedance AI is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ByteDance. Model availability depends on connected providers.

How many credits does a Seedance video cost?

It depends on the model, duration and resolution you choose. The composer shows the exact credit quote before you generate, and credits for a failed generation are returned automatically.

Can I start from an image instead of text?

Yes. Add an image to the composer and the studio switches to image-to-video, keeping the subject and composition of your reference while Seedance adds the motion.

Generate from text or images with Seedance selected by default, and keep other leading video models one click away.
