What is Seedance 2.1?
Seedance 2.1 is an advanced AI video generation model designed to create high-quality cinematic video clips from detailed text descriptions or reference images. The platform supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation workflows, enabling users to produce professional-grade video content by describing scenes with specific details about subjects, motion, camera movements, lighting, and visual style. Users can select from multiple resolution options including 480p, 720p, and 1080p, with video durations ranging from 4 to 15 seconds to suit different project requirements.
The platform operates on a credit-based system where the cost is calculated based on model selection, resolution, duration, and input type, with transparent pricing displayed before each generation. Seedance 2.1 is positioned as the primary mode for final-quality video output, offering the highest quality in the Seedance lineup. The tool includes features such as a prompt gallery with examples, aspect ratio options including 16:9 and 9:16, and the ability to animate static images with motion prompts. It serves content creators, filmmakers, marketers, and businesses looking to generate cinematic video content without traditional video production resources.

FAQs
-
What is the difference between Seedance 2.1 and Seedance 2?
Seedance 2.1 is the primary mode for final-quality output, while Seedance 2 is the standard generation mode. Both support the same resolution options and offer text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities. -
Can I generate video from an image?
Yes. You can upload a reference image and add a motion prompt that describes how the subject should move, where the camera travels, and what visual style to apply to create an animated video. -
What resolutions does Seedance 2.1 support?
Seedance 2.1 supports 480p, 720p, and 1080p resolution options. Higher resolution generations cost more credits per generation. -
Should I draft in Fast mode first?
If your prompt is untested, use Seedance 2 Fast for lower-cost 480p or 720p drafts. Once the scene direction works, switch to Seedance 2.1 for the final high-quality clip. -
How do I write a good Seedance prompt?
Include specific details about subject, action, camera movement, environment, lighting, and visual style. Be specific rather than generic. For example, 'slow dolly forward through a neon-lit alley' works better than 'cinematic city scene.' Browse the showcase gallery for prompt examples.
