Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers. Everything you need to know about getting the most out of Seedance AI.
How does Seedance AI actually work?
Think of it like giving directions to a movie director. You provide a text prompt (your idea) or an image, and the Seedance AI model acts as the director, cinematographer, and visual effects team all in one, rendering your vision into a video.
How long does it take to generate a video?
It's super fast! A typical 5-second, 1080p video usually takes about 30-40 seconds to generate. Longer or more complex videos might take a little bit longer, but you'll always see an estimate before you start.
Can I use the videos I create for commercial purposes?
Absolutely. Any video you generate with your paid plan is yours to use. That includes for marketing on social media, in advertisements, or any other commercial project. You own the rights to your creations.
What's the difference between Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video?
Great question! Text-to-Video creates a brand new scene from scratch based only on your words. Image-to-Video takes a still image you provide and brings it to life with motion, which is perfect for animating existing art or photos.
How do credits work? Is it a subscription?
We offer flexible options. You can buy credit packs to pay as you go—perfect for single projects. We also have monthly plans that give you a larger bundle of credits at a better rate, ideal for frequent creators.
What video formats and resolutions can I download?
You can generate videos in various aspect ratios (like 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for TikTok) and download them as high-quality MP4 files in up to 1080p resolution.
My video didn't turn out quite right. Can I get a refund for the credits used?
Since generation uses significant computing resources, we can't refund credits for completed videos. But our Prompt Guide is packed with tips to help you get better results! Tweaking your prompt just a little can make a huge difference in what Seedance AI produces.
Is there a way to create a video with multiple scenes?
Yes, and that's one of the best features! Our Storyboard mode lets you line up several different prompts as individual "shots." Seedance AI then generates each one and seamlessly stitches them together into a single, multi-scene video.
Does Seedance AI have an API I can use for my own app?
Yes, we do! We offer API access for businesses and developers. Please check out our Enterprise plan or contact our sales team for more details on integrating the power of Seedance AI into your product.
