What's New in Seedance 1.5 Pro

Three major breakthroughs in audio-visual synergy, visual impact, and narrative coherence.

01

Native Audio Generation

Generate diverse voices and spatial sound effects that coordinate with visuals for smoother storytelling. Support a wide range of languages and dialects with great lip-sync and motion alignment.

02

Film-Grade Cinematography

Capable of complex camera movement, from close-ups with subtle facial expressions and emotions, to full-shots with cinematic level of details, composition, and atmosphere.

03

Strong Storytelling

Based on prompt intent, can auto-fill the narratives and keep the content cohesive across various characters' emotions, expressions and actions, suitable for short dramas, advertising, and social media.

04

Multi-Language Support

Native support for multiple languages including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Indonesian. Also supports regional dialects like Sichuanese and Cantonese with accurate vocal prosody.

Overview

Model at a glance

Seedance 1.5 Pro is ByteDance's next-generation audio-visual generation model, developed by the ByteDance Seed Team. This model features joint audio-visual generation capabilities, capable of executing a range of tasks including synthesizing audio-video content from text prompts and generating it through image-driven processes. This evolves Seedance models beyond the purely visual, allowing them to seamlessly integrate sound into video generation.

While Seedance 1.0 focused on improving the "performance floor" by enhancing motion generation stability, Seedance 1.5 Pro now aims higher. Beyond its new audio-synchronized generation capability, it also strives to elevate the "performance ceiling" of visual impact and motion effects. By adopting more audacious technical approaches, Seedance 1.5 Pro has achieved breakthroughs in audio-visual synergy, visual impact, and narrative coherence.

The model uses a dual-branch diffusion transformer architecture that renders video and audio in the same latent space, producing tight lip-sync and natural foley without the disconnect between "visuals and separate audio." This ensures high audio-visual consistency during generation, significantly improving the alignment accuracy of lip movements, intonation, and performance rhythm.

Key features

Precise Audio-Visual Synchronization

High audio-visual consistency with significantly improved alignment accuracy of lip movements, intonation, and performance rhythm. Dual-branch diffusion transformer renders in the same latent space, delivering tight lip-sync and natural foley effects.

Cinematic Camera Control

Autonomous cinematography capabilities enabling complex movements such as continuous long takes and dolly zooms (Hitchcock zoom). Achieves cinematic scene transitions and professional color grading — from close-ups to full-shots with film-grade quality.

Enhanced Semantic Understanding

Precise analysis of narrative contexts through strengthened semantic understanding. Deciphers nuanced and complex human emotions and translates them into expressive artistic representations, significantly improving overall narrative coordination.

Multi-Language & Dialect Support

Native support for Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Indonesian. Also supports regional Chinese dialects like Sichuanese and Cantonese with accurate vocal prosody and emotional tension, with facial expressions aligned to dialect-specific prosody.

Dynamic Tension & Motion

Smoothly renders high-dynamic, high-impact motion scenes. Substantially enhances the dynamic tension of videos with fast lateral cuts, slow-motion close-ups, and authentic recreation of speed and power — perfect for extreme sports and action sequences.

Style Consistency

Demonstrates robust style consistency in image-to-video tasks. Effectively maintains stable character features during multi-shot transitions and complex movements, improving coherence from raw footage to final production with seed-based reproducibility.

Honest look

Current limitations

Resolution Constraints

Currently supports up to 720p resolution. 1080p is not yet supported on most platforms. For higher resolution needs, consider upscaling post-processing or wait for future model updates.

Duration Limits

Single generation supports 5 and 10 second durations (some platforms support 4-12 seconds). Longer videos require generating multiple segments and stitching them together in post-production.

Language Coverage

Primarily supports 6 languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Indonesian). Other languages may have limited effectiveness or require translation. Best results achieved with supported languages.

Style Range

Certain specific artistic styles may require multiple iterations to achieve ideal results. Detailed prompts with clear style descriptions help improve first-generation quality and reduce iteration needs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is "joint audio-visual generation"?
Joint audio-visual generation means generating audio and video simultaneously during the generation process, rather than sequentially. Seedance 1.5 Pro uses a dual-branch diffusion transformer architecture that renders video and audio in the same latent space, achieving perfect audio-visual synchronization and tight lip-sync.
What languages does Seedance 1.5 Pro support?
The model supports Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Indonesian. For Chinese, it also supports multiple regional dialects including Sichuanese and Cantonese, accurately capturing unique vocal prosody and emotional tension.
What are the video duration and resolution limits?
Seedance 1.5 Pro supports generating 5 and 10 second videos (some platforms support 4-12 seconds). Resolution supports 480p and 720p, with 1080p not currently supported. Frame rate is 24 fps with adaptive aspect ratios.
What is "film-grade cinematography"?
Film-grade cinematography refers to the model's autonomous cinematography capabilities, enabling complex camera movements such as continuous long takes, dolly zooms (Hitchcock zoom), fast lateral cuts, and slow-motion close-ups. The model also achieves cinematic scene transitions and professional color grading, substantially enhancing video dynamic tension.
How is audio-visual synchronization ensured?
Seedance 1.5 Pro uses a dual-branch diffusion transformer architecture that simultaneously renders video and audio in the same latent space, rather than generating them sequentially. This ensures high audio-visual consistency, significantly improving the alignment accuracy of lip movements, intonation, and performance rhythm.
How does Image-to-Video work?
Upload a start frame image (optionally an end frame), add a text prompt describing the desired actions and audio, and the model generates the motion, camera movement, dialogue, and sound design in between. The model has robust style consistency, maintaining stable character features during multi-shot transitions and complex movements.
