seedance-1.5-pro
Capability: 1080p · up to 6s · text + image init · CJK prompts · async via tasks API
Pricing: per second, mid tier (live rate)
Seedance 1.5 Pro was the prior flagship of the ByteDance video family.
Earned a reputation for character motion (faces, hand gestures,
walking gait) at a price tier where Sora 2 felt overkill. Native CJK
prompt understanding, recognizably ByteDance aesthetic. For new work,
prefer Seedance 2.0 Pro;
1.5 Pro is kept for teams who’ve validated against this version.
