How to Use Seedance on ImagineArt Video Studio

Ready to create cinematic, ambient videos using ByteDance Seedance 1.0? ImagineArt makes the process intuitive and powerful. No matter which version of Seedance 1.0 you use, the workflow remains creatively flexible for both seedance Pro and Seedance Lite. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to use Seedance effectively inside ImagineArt’s Video Studio.

ImagineArt Video Studio dashboard

Step 1: Log In to ImagineArt Video Studio

Start by heading to ImagineArt Video Studio and logging into your account. If you're new, you can create a free account with daily generation credits. Seedance is available under the “Video Models” tab and can be used in both Lite and PRO formats, depending on your desired output speed and quality.

Step 2: Choose Seedance as Your Model

Once inside the Studio, you'll see a list of available video generation models. Select Seedance 1.0 from the dropdown—either “Seedance Lite” for fast preview-style generation or “Seedance PRO” for smoother cinematic transitions and high-resolution output. Both versions are powered by ByteDance and optimized for different levels of creative needs.

Step 3: Write Your Prompt

In the prompt box, describe your video scene in rich, visual detail. Seedance responds best to atmospheric, mood-driven descriptions such as:

“A woman in a flowing red dress walking slowly through a misty forest at golden hour, soft camera motion, cinematic lighting.”

Include elements like setting, subject, lighting, motion, and tone. For better results, add framing cues like “wide shot,” “portrait angle,” or “slow pan.”

Pro Tip: Seedance excels in emotionally resonant visuals. Use poetic or cinematic language rather than factual narration.

Step 4: Adjust Style, Aspect Ratio, and Motion

Customize your video further with ImagineArt’s built-in controls:

• Aspect Ratio: Choose from 9:16 (vertical), 16:9 (landscape), or 1:1 (square) based on your platform needs.
• Visual Styles: Pick from cinematic, editorial, surreal, fashion, or fantasy from the style option.
• Camera Motion: Select push in, push out, move up, move down, move left, move right or static framing depending on your narrative tone.
• Lighting Presets: Apply golden hour, neon glow, ambient night, or custom tones to reflect the mood of the prompt.

Seedance interprets these controls in tandem with your written prompt to produce fluid, consistent videos.

Step 5: (Optional) Upload a Reference Image

Seedance also supports image-to-video generation, allowing you to start from a visual sketch, character art, or product render. Upload your image, then describe how you'd like the scene to move or transform using your prompt.

Example:

Image: Model sitting on a chair; Prompt: Camera slowly rotates around the model as petals fall and light flickers in the background.

This feature gives creators more control over design continuity, making Seedance ideal for short films, animated art, or product visuals.

Step 6: Generate Your Video

After writing your prompt and selecting your visual controls, hit the “Generate” button. Seedance will process your request and deliver a 5-second video (typical clip length) within 2–5 minutes depending on whether you chose Lite or PRO.

Seedance Lite: Fast preview, suitable for quick iteration.

Seedance PRO: Slower render but delivers higher visual quality and multi-shot capability.

Step 7: Preview and Download

Once rendered, you'll see the video preview in your workspace. From here, you can:

• Download the video in MP4 format
• Regenerate with slight prompt changes
• Stitch multiple videos together into longer scenes using your own editor (e.g. DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro)

ImagineArt doesn’t watermark outputs, and videos generated under your account are available for commercial use depending on your plan.

You can aslo tweak your original prompt to test different:

• Motions (e.g. “camera dolly in” vs. “360 pan”)
• Lighting (e.g. “soft sunset glow” vs. “night scene with candlelight”)
• Tone (e.g. “romantic” vs. “mysterious”)

You can keep refining until the sequence matches your moodboard, storyboard, or campaign needs.
