Attributes
Select the length of the video in seconds. Use 5 seconds for faster rendering or standard quality outputs.
Allowed values:
Defines the width to height ratio of the video. Use 16:9 for landscapes or 9:16 for vertical videos.
Allowed values:
Describe the scene or animation for the video. Try 'A whimsical underwater world thriving with marine life in kaleidoscope colors'.
Sets the video quality. Choose 720p for clearer visuals, suitable for larger displays.
Allowed values:
A numerical seed for consistent randomization. Use any number for varied scene generations.
min : 1,
max : 999999
Whether to fix the camera position.
To keep track of your credit usage, you can inspect the response headers of each API call. The x-remaining-credits property will indicate the number of remaining credits in your account. Ensure you monitor this value to avoid any disruptions in your API usage.

Guide: Effective Usage of Seedance V1 Lite for Text-to-Video Generation
Seedance V1 Lite by ByteDance delivers fast, high-quality video clips from text prompts. This guide walks you through best practices, parameter tuning, and tailored recommendations for developers, creators, and executives.
1. Core Best Practices
- •Clear, descriptive prompts: Include setting, mood, color palette, and motion cues.
Example: “A serene forest at dawn, mist rolling between ancient trees, golden light filtering through leaves.” - •Iterate quickly: Start with short clips (5 sec) to validate concepts, then scale up.
- •Use seeds for consistency: Assign a fixed
seed
value to reproduce favorite renders.
2. Parameter Overview
Parameter | Purpose | Recommended Values |
---|---|---|
prompt | Scene description | Vivid, action-oriented text |
duration | Clip length (sec) | 5 (quick tests), 10 (final) |
aspect_ratio | Frame orientation | 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (vertical) |
resolution * | Output quality | 720p (web/presentation), 480p (mobile/drafts) |
seed * | Randomization control | Any integer (e.g. 12345) |
*Advanced parameters: adjust only after prompt and core settings are locked in.
3. Recommended Settings by Role
Developers
- •Use Cases: Integrate video generation in apps, prototypes, or automated pipelines.
- •Settings:
- •
duration
: 5 sec for fast feedback - •
aspect_ratio
: match target display (e.g., 4:3 for classic embeds) - •
resolution
: 480p for speed; bump to 720p for demos - •
seed
: fixed for regression testing
- •
- •Tip: Wrap calls in your CI/CD to auto-generate fresh assets on updates.
Creators
- •Use Cases: Storyboards, social posts, marketing reels.
- •Settings:
- •
duration
: 10 sec to build narrative - •
aspect_ratio
: 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Instagram feed, 9:16 for Reels/TikTok - •
resolution
: 720p for professional polish - •
seed
: vary to explore stylistic variants
- •
- •Tip: Experiment with prompt adjectives (“ethereal,” “retro”) to unlock new looks.
Executives
- •Use Cases: Quick mockups, campaign ideation, pitch decks.
- •Settings:
- •
duration
: 5 sec for story beats - •
aspect_ratio
: consistent with brand templates - •
resolution
: 720p to ensure sharp visuals - •
seed
: reuse for brand identity consistency
- •
- •Tip: Leverage bulk API calls to generate multiple concepts in one run and choose top performers.
4. Workflow Suggestions
- •Draft your prompt and pick core parameters.
- •Run a 5 sec test clip; review composition and color.
- •Adjust prompt detail or switch aspect ratio.
- •Finalize with a 10 sec, 720p render and fixed seed.
- •Embed or post-produce as needed.
By following this structured approach, you’ll maximize efficiency, consistency, and creative impact when generating videos with Seedance V1 Lite.
