What is Seedance 1.5 Pro?

It is the previous generation of ByteDance’s Seedance video line, generating 4 to 12 second clips with mixed dialogue, foley, and score audio from text or a start image.

Why choose it over the 2.x tiers?

Price. It bills roughly a sixth of the flagship Seedance 2.0 per-second rate while still generating a full audio mix — ideal for volume work and drafts.

Does it generate sound?

Yes. Audio generation is on by default and mixes dialogue, foley, and score with the picture.

Which resolution does Made use?

Made pins output to 720p. The provider also serves 480p and 1080p at different rates.

Can I animate an existing image?

Yes. Add a start image and describe the motion; Made routes the request to the image-to-video endpoint at the same rate.

When should I choose another model?

Choose flagship Seedance 2.0 for current-generation fidelity, 2.0 Fast for a middle tier, or Seedance 1.0 Pro when you need 1080p output and will add sound in the edit.
