How to write a Seedance 1.0 Pro prompt
- 1
Write the shot and camera
Describe the subject, motion, and camera move — there is no audio to brief, so spend the prompt on picture.
- 2
Add a start image if needed
Upload a still to animate; the model keeps its composition and adds motion.
- 3
Set format, length, and resolution
Pick an aspect ratio, a 5 or 10 second duration, and a resolution — 1080p is the default and the billed rate.
- 4
Score it in the edit
Clips arrive silent; lay in music, foley, or voiceover in your editor for the finished cut.
What Seedance 1.0 Pro responds well to
Prompt for these jobs
- 1080p masters at less than half the flagship Seedance 2.0 rate
- B-roll and background plates where you add sound in the edit
- Fixed 5 or 10 second takes that drop straight into an edit
- Animating stills with selectable 480p, 720p, or 1080p output
Check the output for
- Clips are silent — Seedance 1.0 Pro predates the family’s native audio; use 1.5 Pro or the 2.x tiers when the clip needs sound.
- Made bills the flat 1080p per-second rate at every resolution, so picking 480p or 720p does not reduce the price — keep the 1080p default.
- It is the oldest Seedance generation in Made; motion fidelity sits below 1.5 Pro and the 2.x line.
Iteration is cheap here: Seedance 1.0 Pro costs 12.5 credits / second, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision. See the full Seedance 1.0 Pro pricing breakdown.
It is the original pro tier of ByteDance’s Seedance video line, generating 5 or 10 second silent clips at up to 1080p from text or a start image.
