Seedance is ByteDance's family of AI video models, known for steady motion, multi-shot storytelling and native audio. Seedance 3 is the name creators search for when they want the next generation of it.

This Seedance 3 AI video generator gives you two ways in: text to video for written scenes, and image to video to bring a still to life, with an optional end frame to steer where the shot lands.

Every clip can carry native audio (ambience, sound effects or a spoken line), and you choose 480p, 720p or 1080p, the aspect ratio and a length of 4 to 15 seconds.

ByteDance has not released Seedance 3.0 or a Seedance 3.0 API yet. Until it does, the studio runs Seedance 2.5, the latest released Seedance model, in two tiers: Fast for drafts and Pro for final shots.

We are an independent site with no link to ByteDance. Seedance is named only to describe the models the studio uses.

Seedance 3 vs Seedance 2.5: What Runs in This Studio

Seedance 3 is the name people search for; Seedance 2.5 is the model you can actually run today. Here is where each stands as of Nov 14, 2026.

ByteDance has published no Seedance 3.0 model card, technical report, API or price. Pages that promise Seedance 3.0 output today are running an earlier Seedance model under a new name.

Our Seedance 3 AI video generator runs Seedance 2.5 and says so. Pick Fast for quick, low-cost drafts, or Pro for final shots. When a Seedance 3.0 API opens, we will add it to the studio.

What You Can Make with the Seedance 3 AI Video Generator

Short, sound-on clips suit ads, social posts and story beats. Draft fast, then render the keeper in full quality.

Product Ads and Promos

Slow morning coffee · example clip

Upload a product photo as the start frame, describe one slow camera move, and test on Fast before you spend on the final render.

Reels, Shorts and TikTok

Handmade mug · example clip

Pick 9:16, keep the clip under 10 seconds and start on the action. Native audio gives you a sound bed without a separate edit.

Short Drama and Storytelling

Late-night confession · example clip

Write each beat as its own shot, with the spoken line in quotes. Reuse the same reference images so a character keeps its look across clips.

Music and Dance Visuals

Rooftop dance teaser · example clip

Plan shots against the song, draft them with native audio off, then cut them to your track in any editor.

Storyboards and Pre-Visualization

Riverside campfire stew · example clip

Turn a script page into moving boards in minutes. Lock the framing with a start frame and try camera moves before the real shoot.

Seedance 3 Prompt Tips: One Clear Shot per Prompt

The prompt box takes up to 3,500 characters, yet one clear shot is easier to control. These four habits work on every Seedance model.

Example · 8s

Start with subject and action

Put the person and what they do first, then the style. Leading with them keeps the main idea clear.

Example · 8s

Use one camera move

Choose a push-in, an orbit or a pan, not all three. Mixed moves tend to make the frame wobble.

Example · 8s

Let light set the mood

Time of day, color and contrast change the look faster than adjectives like 'epic' or 'stunning'.

Example · 8s

Cue sound, language and exclusions

Native audio follows sound cues in the prompt, so name them. Say which language is spoken, and list what to leave out, such as subtitles.

Seedance 3 AI Video Generator FAQ

Quick answers on free credits, watermarks, the model behind each clip and what you can make.

It is an online studio that turns a text prompt or a photo into a short video clip with native sound. You can make 4 to 15 second clips at 480p, 720p or 1080p in six aspect ratios.

Not as of Nov 14, 2026. There is no Seedance 3.0 model card, API or price from ByteDance. Until there is, every clip here renders on Seedance 2.5, the latest released Seedance model. Our Seedance 3.0 release date tracker follows its status.

You can start free: new accounts get 48 credits, which cover one 4-second 480p clip on the Fast tier. Free clips carry a watermark. After that, credit packs and plans are listed on the pricing page.

Yes. Clips made with paid credits download without a watermark. Only the free signup credits add one.

Fast is quicker and cheaper, made for drafts and social clips. Pro gives richer motion and detail for final shots. Both run on Seedance 2.5. Both offer text to video, image to video and native audio.

Choose 4, 8, 12 or 15 seconds per clip. For a longer scene, plan it as several shots and join them in an editor.

Yes. Upload a start frame and describe how it should move; add an optional end frame to steer where the shot lands. The clip keeps your photo’s aspect ratio.

Native audio is on by default: ambience, sound effects and spoken lines follow the cues in your prompt. Turn it off if you plan to add your own music.

ByteDance has not open-sourced Seedance, and we do not offer an APK. The studio runs in any modern browser, including on phones, so there is nothing to install.

Clips you make here follow our terms of service. Make sure you hold the rights to any photo or reference you upload.
