Seedance 3.0: The Next-Generation AI Video Engine

Seedance 3.0 is the latest generation AI video creation engine from ByteDance. It features an all-new physics simulation core, narrative-level character consistency, and support for up to 4K output. Whether through our zero-code Studio or the RESTful API, you can generate cinematic-quality video from text or images in minutes.

Seedance 3.0 introduces three major breakthroughs: (1) A native physics understanding engine that renders realistic lighting, collisions, and fluid dynamics; (2) Flawless narrative consistency that keeps characters and scenes stable across extended sequences; (3) A 3x faster parallel rendering pipeline powered by next-generation cluster scheduling. Additionally, 4K output and longer clip durations are now supported.

For creators: head to the Studio, type your prompt, and generate a video with one click — no coding needed. For developers: sign in, create an API Key in the Developer Dashboard, and call our RESTful endpoint. The API documentation includes ready-to-use code samples in Python, Node.js, Go, and more.

Text-to-video generates a full video from a natural-language prompt describing the desired scene. Image-to-video takes a still image as input and intelligently animates it while preserving the original style and composition. Seedance 3.0 enhances both modes with improved motion coherence and physics-aware rendering.

Seedance 3.0 supports 480p, 720p, 1080p, and up to 4K output. Video durations of 5 seconds and 10 seconds are available, with longer sequences on the roadmap. Higher resolutions and longer durations consume more credits — see the pricing section for details.

Seedance 3.0 is ideal for any scenario that demands high visual fidelity — marketing ads, social media clips, product demos, film pre-visualization, e-commerce showcases, and digital human presentations. Its physics-aware rendering and character consistency make it particularly strong for content featuring realistic human motion and cinematic storytelling.

The Seedance API is a standard RESTful service compatible with any language or HTTP client — cURL, Python, Node.js, Go, Java, Rust, and beyond. We ship ready-made SDK examples in multiple languages to accelerate your integration.

Thanks to the new parallel rendering pipeline, Seedance 3.0 generates videos up to 3x faster than previous versions. A typical 5-second 720p clip finishes in under 60 seconds. Actual times vary with resolution, duration, and queue depth.

We offer a simple credit-based model. You only pay for successful generations — failed requests are never charged. Different models, resolutions, and durations cost different credit amounts. Credits never expire. We also offer monthly subscription plans with discounted rates.

Yes. All video content you generate belongs to you and can be used freely for commercial projects, advertising, social media, or any other purpose with no additional licensing fees.

Yes. Configure a Webhook URL in the Developer Dashboard and our system will push a notification the moment your video is ready, eliminating the need for status polling. This makes building production pipelines straightforward.

Rate limits are applied per API key and vary by subscription tier. Basic plans include standard concurrency, while Pro plans unlock higher throughput. For enterprise-grade requirements, contact our team for custom rate-limit configurations.

No credits are deducted for failed requests. The API returns a detailed error code and message so you can diagnose the issue quickly. Common causes include invalid parameters or content policy violations. Full request logs are available in the Developer Dashboard.

All traffic is encrypted via HTTPS. Uploaded images and generated videos are stored securely and accessible only through your authenticated API key. We adhere to strict data-protection policies and never use your content for model training.

Absolutely. The standard REST interface plugs into any tech stack — CI/CD systems, CMS platforms, backend services, or analytics dashboards. Combined with async task handling and Webhook callbacks, you get full programmatic control over the video generation lifecycle.
