Seedance V1 Lite I2V: Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Two choices, quick results: Seedance V1 Lite animates a still into 5 or 10 seconds at up to 1080p. Upload a starting frame, choose Seedance V1 Lite I2V in the Image to Video tool, and animate it on VdoBloom — the credit price appears before every generation.
There are two decisions to make with Seedance V1 Lite: how long, and how sharp. Duration is 5 or 10 seconds; resolution is 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Upload an image, write a line about the motion you want, and generate. That is the whole interface, and for a lot of image-animation jobs it is exactly enough.
Lite comes from the first Seedance generation, ByteDance's original video line, and it is strictly image-to-video — there is no text-only mode, so every clip starts from a picture you provide. The trade against newer family members is flexibility: two fixed lengths instead of a per-second ladder. The gain is a workflow with no settings to second-guess, plus a 480p tier for quick motion tests before a 1080p pass.
It also carries the HOT content label, giving it more permissive filtering than many mainstream video models. Credit costs on VdoBloom depend on the duration and resolution you pick and are shown before each generation, which keeps repeat animation work predictable.
What creators use Seedance V1 Lite I2V for

Frequently asked questions
Can Seedance V1 Lite generate video from a text prompt alone?
No. It is image-to-video only, so every generation starts from a picture you upload, with text used to describe the motion. For text-only generation, Seedance 2 or Seedance 1.5 Pro in the same family cover that mode.
What settings can I change on Seedance V1 Lite?
Just two: duration, at 5 or 10 seconds, and resolution, at 480p, 720p, or 1080p. The minimal option set is deliberate — it is built for fast, repeatable image animation.
How does Lite compare with Seedance V1 Pro Fast I2V?
Both are 5- or 10-second image animators from the same first Seedance generation. Pro Fast targets higher-quality output and offers only 720p and 1080p, while Lite adds a 480p tier that suits low-cost motion tests.
How permissive is Seedance V1 Lite's content filter?
It is labeled HOT on VdoBloom, meaning filtering is more permissive and flexible than typical mainstream models. Platform rules still apply, but it declines fewer creative prompts than strictly moderated alternatives.
