Seedance 1 Lite turns text prompts and still images into short video clips between 5 and 10 seconds long. It closes the gap for creators who need motion content but have no camera setup, no editing software, and no production budget. Social media managers, solo content creators, and small studio teams all use it to go from idea to moving image in minutes. The model outputs at 480p or 720p across seven aspect ratios, from vertical 9:16 for mobile feeds to ultra-wide 21:9 for cinematic frames. You can anchor the start frame, the end frame, or both, giving you tight control over how each clip opens and closes. Upload one to four reference images to hold specific characters, outfits, or environments consistent across multiple clips. In a real production workflow, Seedance 1 Lite sits at the top of the pipeline: generate the clip, drop it on a timeline in any video editor, and cut from there. If a result misses the mark, changing the prompt or adjusting the seed brings a fresh variation without losing the original setup. One prompt and one image are all you need to begin.
Seedance 1 Lite is a video generation model that creates 5 or 10-second clips from a text description or a still image. It solves a concrete production problem: you need motion content but have no footage, no crew, and no time. On Picasso IA, the whole process runs in a browser with no software to install. A freelance designer, for instance, can take a single product photo, write two sentences about how it should animate, and have a shareable clip within minutes.
Do I need programming skills or technical knowledge to use this? No, just open Seedance 1 Lite on Picasso IA, adjust the settings you want, and hit generate.
Is it free to try? Yes, you can run Seedance 1 Lite on Picasso IA without a paid subscription to test results before committing to more generations.
How long does it take to get results? Generation time depends on the duration and resolution you choose. A 5-second clip at 480p finishes faster than a 10-second clip at 720p, but most runs wrap up within a few minutes.
What aspect ratios are supported? The model supports seven ratios: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9, and 9:21. When you supply a start image, the aspect ratio is set automatically to match that image.
Can I control both the first and last frames of the video? Yes. Upload a start frame image and a last frame image together to fix exactly how the clip opens and closes. Last-frame input only works when a start image is also provided.
What happens if I am not satisfied with the result? Adjust your prompt, change the resolution or duration, and run it again. If you want to reproduce a clip you liked, copy the seed value and reuse it in the next run.
Everything this model can do for you
Type a prompt and receive a 5 or 10-second video clip without uploading any image.
Animate any still photo into a moving clip by pairing it with a short text description.
Output at 480p for quick previews or 720p for sharper, share-ready results.
Pick from 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, and 9:21 to match any platform or screen.
Provide a start image, an end image, or both to control how a clip opens and closes.
Upload one to four images to keep characters, clothing, or environments consistent across runs.
Lock the camera in place so the scene stays static when motion would be a distraction.
Reuse a seed value to regenerate the same clip with tweaked settings for easy iteration.

[Low-angle tracking shot] A small fox trots nimbly through the forest. Sunlight filters down through gaps in the leaves. The fox stops, alertly perking up its ears. [Cut to] Spotting danger, it quickly turns and flees, with the camera chasing after the fox as it dodges through the dense woods.
In the morning, a teenager cycles through an old European city district. The shot cuts from the bicycle wheels on cobblestone streets to a front-facing perspective of him riding, and finally ends with him pedaling into a sunlit square.
