AI Video Generation with Seedance 1.5 Pro
ByteDance's Seedance 1.5 Pro generates videos from text prompts or animates a first-frame image, with optional last-frame control and resolutions up to 1080p. An earlier Seedance generation that remains a fast, low-cost workhorse for 5 and 10 second clips.
What makes Seedance 1.5 Pro different
A proven model at a rock-bottom rate
Seedance 1.5 Pro runs at about $0.05 per second on Scenetra — a 5-second clip costs about $0.25. That makes it one of the cheapest ways to generate video on the platform, and a sensible default when you need volume: mood boards, animatics, filler b-roll, or dozens of prompt experiments before committing a bigger model to the final shot.
Text-to-video and image-to-video in one node
Write a prompt and generate from scratch, or upload a first-frame image to animate an existing still. An optional last-frame image locks the ending, so transitions and match cuts are directable. One node covers both workflows — no switching between separate model pages.
Up to 1080p output
Unlike the newer budget tiers in the Seedance family, 1.5 Pro offers a full resolution ladder: 480p and 540p for drafts, 720p for everyday delivery, and 1080p when the clip needs to hold up on a larger screen. Aspect ratios cover 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1.
An honest place in the Seedance lineup
Seedance 1.5 Pro is an earlier generation: newer Seedance 2 models add native synchronized audio and multimodal referencing that 1.5 Pro does not have. What it keeps is simplicity and price. On a Scenetra board the whole family sits side by side, so you can draft on 1.5 Pro and step up to Seedance 2, Mini, or 2.5 only where a shot earns it.

What is Seedance 1.5 Pro?+
Seedance 1.5 Pro is a video generation model by ByteDance that creates 5 or 10 second clips from text prompts or from a first-frame image, at resolutions up to 1080p. It is an earlier generation than Seedance 2, positioned as a fast, low-cost option. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor — no API key required.
Is the Seedance 1.5 Pro any good?+
For its price, yes. It produces solid motion and composition for drafts, social clips, and b-roll at about $0.05 per second. The newer Seedance 2 family scores higher on scene logic, continuity, and adds native audio — so treat 1.5 Pro as the iteration and volume tier, and step up for hero shots. On Scenetra you can run the same prompt through both and compare directly.
Is Seedance free or paid?+
Seedance 1.5 Pro is a paid model billed per second, but you can try it without paying: new Scenetra accounts include free welcome credits and a 7-day trial, and at roughly $0.25 per 5-second clip those credits cover plenty of generations. After that it is pay-per-generation — no subscription gates the model.
How much does Seedance 1.5 Pro cost?+
On Scenetra it runs at about $0.05 per second: a 5-second clip is about $0.25 and a 10-second clip about $0.50. You pay per generation from your credit balance.
What changed between Seedance 1.5 Pro and Seedance 2.0?+
Seedance 2.0 moved the family toward multimodal control: native synchronized audio with lip-synced dialogue, reference images/videos/audio for character consistency and motion transfer, and durations up to 15 seconds. Seedance 1.5 Pro is simpler — text or first/last-frame image in, silent video out — but cheaper per second and still capable up to 1080p, which the budget-priced Seedance 2 Mini tier does not offer.
Can Seedance 1.5 Pro do image to video?+
Yes — upload a first-frame image and the video starts from it; optionally add a last-frame image to control where the motion ends. Both frames are optional inputs on the same node, so text-to-video and image-to-video are one workflow.
What resolutions and aspect ratios does it support?+
Resolutions of 480p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p, with aspect ratios 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1, at durations of 5 or 10 seconds.
