What is Seedance 1.0?
Seedance 1.0 is the dependable storyteller of the Seedance family on NovaMotions AI. It turns text, or a first and last frame, into 5 or 10 second clips with several shots in one go, rendered in 480p, 720p or 1080p. Clips are silent, which makes it a tidy choice for edits you will score and voice yourself.

What Seedance 1.0 does well
The strengths worth knowing before you write your first prompt.
Multi-shot narratives
Describe a short sequence, an establishing wide, a close-up and a detail, and Seedance 1.0 cuts between them inside one clip.
First and last frame
Lock the opening and closing image of a shot. It is an easy way to build matched transitions between clips in a longer edit.
480p to 1080p

Silent by design
Seedance 1.0 renders picture only. Add your own voice-over, music or sound design in the edit without fighting a generated soundtrack.
