Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast is the speed-and-cost tier of ByteDance's Seedance 1.0 family — roughly 3x faster and about 60% cheaper than Seedance 1.0 Pro, while keeping more detail than 1.0 Lite. Upload a photo and it writes a clip at 480p or 720p, anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds, for as little as 20 credits. This is the budget end of the lineup — silent clips, a 720p ceiling, and fast, repeatable image-to-video takes.

Image-to-video is the one input here, and it's a first-class one: hand Pro Fast a still and it animates the scene while keeping the subject faithful to your photo — same shape, same direction of light, same identity. This 720p · 4s clip is straight model output.
One photo and one prompt — no storyboard, no timeline, no reshooting.
Resolution is a per-clip choice, not a model upgrade. Draft an idea at 480p for the price of a click, then re-run the keeper at 720p with the same prompt and the same panels. The clip shown here is 720p · 2s.
Draft cheap, finish sharp — without leaving the page.
A 480p · 2s take costs 20 credits — the cheapest paid entry on this platform. Generate a handful of variations on a hook, keep the one that lands, and drop the rest without second-guessing the bill.
Several takes for the price of one flagship-tier re-roll.
Your clip inherits the shape of your image: vertical portraits stay vertical, wide shots stay wide, squares stay square, and nothing gets letterboxed or cropped to fit. This one is 480p · 4s, animated from a 4:3 photo.
One source photo feeds Shorts, Reels, and a landing page — no reframing.
The Seedance 1.0 motion model keeps physics believable — surf breaks the way surf should, and heavy things behave like they're heavy. Pro Fast carries that motion model at a fraction of what Seedance 1.0 Pro costs. Shown here at 480p · 2s.
Fewer warped frames per take — which is where the real savings live.
Official Seedance 1.0 Pro image-to-video demo — same family, one tier up from Pro Fast.
Pro Fast sits at the fast, low-cost end of the Seedance 1.0 family. When a shot genuinely needs the full Pro tier, you're still working in the same motion model and the same prompt grammar — nothing to relearn.
Start cheap on Pro Fast; step up only when a shot demands it.
Three premium models on this platform, one clear trade-off: Pro Fast is the cheapest way in, and the only one of the three that lets you pick both resolution and clip length.

Three steps from a photo to a finished clip — the whole run usually costs less than a coffee.
Drag and drop the still you want to animate — a product shot, a portrait, an illustration. PNG, JPG, and WebP all work, and the shape of your image becomes the shape of the clip.
Say what should move and how: 'slow push-in as the steam curls past the lens, the barista glances up and smiles.' Pro Fast follows the subject and the camera move you describe without inventing extra action.
Choose 480p or 720p and a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 10-second clip — the price updates as you go, starting at 20 credits for 480p · 2s. Every clip is silent at a fixed 24fps, so drop your own track on top in any editor.
