How to Use Seedance 1.0 Pro to Generate Videos with Segmind

You can turn text or an image into a 5 to 10 second video using Seedance 1.0 Pro inside Segmind. It gives you motion, camera movement, and stable scenes without using any editing software. If you are tired of static AI images that do not move, this changes everything. Do you need quick product clips that look clean and usable?

This guide shows you how to use Seedance 1.0 Pro to generate videos with the right mode, inputs, and settings. You will also see how PixelFlow in Segmind helps you repeat and scale results. Do you want fast previews or consistent clips for a team? We will not cover timeline editing or post production here. You will run everything directly inside Segmind for speed and control.

Read This First If You Just Need The Big Wins

• Start by choosing your input type in Segmind. You either enter a motion driven prompt for text to video or upload a first frame image for image to video.
• Set the four controls before you generate. Duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and seed decide how smooth, sharp, and repeatable your video will be.
• Run short previews before final output. Use five seconds at lower resolution to test motion, then move to higher quality only after it looks right.
• Lock the seed when a clip works. This lets you generate new versions with the same framing and motion instead of starting from scratch.
• Turn one good result into a workflow. Use PixelFlow to connect image models and Seedance, then export or call the same pipeline through the Segmind API.

How To Use Seedance 1.0 Pro To Generate Videos In Segmind

Seedance 1.0 Pro runs inside Segmind as a video generation model. You access it from the Models page or inside PixelFlow when building workflows. All motion, framing, and output controls live in one place, so you can test, refine, and scale without switching tools.

This section takes you from input setup to a finished video in one continuous flow.

What You Need Before You Generate

Seedance uses a small set of inputs to decide how your video moves and looks. If these are wrong, even a strong prompt will fail. Segmind exposes every one of them so you can control the result instead of guessing.

Use this checklist before you click Generate.

Required inputs

• A prompt that defines scene, action, and camera
• Or a first frame image URL for image to video
• Aspect ratio such as 16:9 or 9:16
• Duration in seconds
• Resolution such as 480p or 720p
• Seed for repeatable output

Each of these values directly affects motion stability and framing.

How To Choose The Right Seedance Mode

Seedance offers text to video and image to video. Both run inside Segmind, but they solve different problems. Choosing the wrong mode wastes credits and time.

Use these rules to pick correctly.

Mode selection

• Text To Video for fast concept testing or abstract scenes
• Image To Video for brand, character, or product consistency

Here is how teams use this in practice.

Creator

• Generate a product or fashion image with Nano Banana or GPT Image
• Send that image to Seedance Pro for motion

Developer

• Generate a character frame through an image model
• Pass that frame into Seedance through PixelFlow to create loops

Prompt structure also changes with the mode.

Prompt focus

• Text to video uses subject, setting, motion, and camera
• Image to video focuses on motion, camera, and mood

Click By Click Generation In Segmind

Seedance responds more to settings than to long prompts. Segmind gives you direct control over every variable so you can lock results before scaling them across workflows or APIs.

Follow this sequence for every clip.

Generation flow

1. Select Seedance 1.0 Pro from the Segmind Models list
2. Choose Text To Video or Image To Video
3. Enter your prompt or paste a first frame image URL
4. Set duration and aspect ratio
5. Choose resolution
6. Set a seed for repeatable results
7. Click Generate

For testing, use 5 seconds at 480p. For final output, use 10 seconds at 720p.

Parameter Cheat Sheet: Duration, Resolution, Aspect Ratio, Seed

These four controls decide whether your video looks stable or random. Segmind keeps them visible so you can adjust one variable at a time instead of guessing.

Use this table to keep results predictable.

Lock the seed once you get a good result. Do not change multiple parameters in one run or you will not know what caused the output to shift.

Seedance Free Plan And Seedance Free Credits: What “Free” Actually Means

Seedance free plan access lets you generate short videos without upfront cost. You still spend free credits each time you render a clip. Segmind makes this easier to manage because you can run previews before locking in higher quality outputs.

You stretch free usage by adjusting two settings first.

Ways to make free credits last longer

• Use 5 second clips for previews
• Use 480p resolution while testing prompts

To keep spending predictable, use a simple control checklist.

Free usage control checklist

• Preview at low resolution
• Lock the prompt and seed once it looks right
• Render final output once at higher quality

This approach stays valid even if pricing or limits change.

Seedance 1.0 Free Usage: A Safe Testing Loop Before You Spend Credits

Segmind lets you run a repeatable testing loop instead of guessing. This keeps free credits focused on usable outputs. You get stable results by changing one variable at a time.

Follow this loop every time you test a new scene.

Safe testing loop

1. Generate a low resolution preview
2. Adjust the prompt for motion or camera
3. Lock the seed for consistency
4. Render the final clip

Make changes in this orders

What to change first and last

• Change the prompt and camera cues first
• Change resolution and duration last

When you get a clean result, keep it for reuse.

Reuse rules

• Save strong prompts
• Save seeds that produce stable motion
• Store frames for PixelFlow workflows

Prompting For Seedance 1.0 Pro: Motion, Camera, And Multi Shot Prompts

Seedance responds more to motion and camera direction than to long visual descriptions. If you only list colors and styles, the model has no guidance for movement. Inside Segmind, clear motion cues give you smoother clips and better shot flow.

Use this prompt structure every time you write a scene.

Simple prompt formula

• Subject
• Setting
• Action
• Camera movement
• Lighting or style

Here are two working examples.

Product example

• “White sneaker on a studio table, slow turn, camera dolly forward, soft light”

Scene example

• “Rainy cyber street, people walking, camera pans left, neon reflections”

When multi shot is supported, write camera changes as separate phrases in the same prompt. This lets Seedance generate smooth transitions between angles.

Image To Video Inputs: First Frame Rules For Stable Motion

Your first frame controls identity, framing, and style across the whole clip. If the starting image is messy, motion will drift. Segmind sends that frame directly to Seedance, so image quality matters.

Use these rules before you upload a frame.

First frame rules

• Keep the subject centered and clear
• Avoid cluttered or low contrast images
• Use the same framing across test runs

Add style cues like lighting and mood in your prompt so Seedance keeps the look consistent across frames.

PixelFlow Workflows With Seedance 1.0 Pro For Repeatable Video Output

PixelFlow turns single video runs into reusable pipelines. You chain models so you do not rebuild the same process for every clip. Inside Segmind, this keeps creators, developers, and apps aligned on output.

Use PixelFlow in these two common ways.

Workflow patterns

• Image model to Seedance: Generate a product or character image, then animate it with Seedance
• Grid generator to Seedance: Create multiple poses, select the best one, then animate it

Here is how a real production flow looks.

Example pipeline:

• Product image
• Generate 5 poses
• Choose the best frame
• Animate with Seedance
• Export video

PixelFlow runs models in sequence when one output feeds the next step and in parallel when you need multiple variations at once. You can publish these workflows for your team or call them through the Segmind API.

Why PixelFlow and API matter for teams

• Designers get consistent frames
• Developers get predictable endpoints
• Product teams get the same output every run

When To Switch Models Before Seedance Inside PixelFlow

Some problems should be fixed before animation starts. PixelFlow lets you clean and stabilize inputs before Seedance adds motion.

Use these upstream fixes.

Upstream fixes

• Remove noise or artifacts using an image model first
• Lock character or product identity with the same frame and seed
• Keep prompts and framing consistent across runs

This keeps motion clean and prevents drift when you scale video production.

Common Failures And Quick Fixes In Seedance 1.0 Pro Videos

Seedance outputs can shift when motion, framing, or inputs change between runs. These issues are normal when you test new prompts or frames. Most problems can be corrected in one or two passes if you know what to look for.

Use this list to diagnose and fix issues fast.

Change only one variable per test so you know what caused the shift. Save prompts, frames, and seeds that produce clean motion so you can reuse them in PixelFlow workflows.
