Seedance 3

Seedance 3 is a standalone AI video generation tool. According to official information, Seedance 3.0 has not yet been released. Users can currently use models such as Seedance 1.5 Pro, Veo 3.1, and Sora 2 to generate AI videos, and follow the release notes for Seedance 3.0.

Purpose

Seedance 3 is aimed at storytelling, concept, and social short video creation, and can also be used for product ads, launch visuals, and brand films. It turns text prompts or static frames into finished shots, making it suitable for individuals and teams that need to quickly produce marketing videos.

Main capabilities

• Text-to-video: Describe a shot in natural language and directly generate a clip, with no timeline, keyframes, or editing software required.
• Image-to-video: Use a fixed first frame as the basis, making the composition, product details, and faces in a static image the starting point for motion.
• Multi-model switching: Within one prompt box, you can choose from nine video models including Seedance 1.5 Pro, Veo 3.1, and Sora 2, switch engines with one click, and compare motion performance.
• Aspect ratio and duration: Supports widescreen or vertical, 4 to 15 seconds. Seedance 1.5 Pro offers 480p, 720p, and 1080p, as well as 4, 8, and 12 seconds, and displays the corresponding credit prices.
• Starting frame creation: Built-in image mode can generate an opening image with multiple image models, then animate it without leaving the page.
• Creation history and downloads: Every completed render is saved in My Creations, where you can download, compare, and reuse prompts.

How to use

1. Text-to-video: Enter a shot description, choose the model, resolution, and duration, and generate a clip.
2. Image-to-video: Upload an image as the first frame, choose settings, and generate.
3. E-commerce mode: Upload a product image, describe the product and selling points in one sentence (such as "face cream, 24-hour hydration, fragrance-free"), choose the platform (TikTok, Reels, Amazon, Shopify) and ad style, and click "Turn into ad script" to generate a time-coded storyboard script; you can edit the storyboard and then render, and all versions are saved in My Creations.
4. Starting frame: In image mode, use multiple image models (such as Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image 2.0, Grok Imagine, Wan 2.7, Qwen Image) to generate an opening image, then animate it.

Applicable scenarios

• ProProduct launch videos: Starting from an approved key visual, render the launch page hero film, 9:16 social cutdowns, and short paid media teasers, keeping the product consistent in every shoot.
• Fashion and retail lookbooks: Turn a single catalog photo into a walking lookbook clip for product pages, marketplaces, and Reels, with backgrounds or seasons changeable via prompts.
• Real estate and interiors: Add slow camera movement to room or showroom stills, giving listings, furniture catalogs, and hotel pages a greater sense of space.

• Marketing teams: Try ten angles before lunch while keeping the approved key visual unchanged, changing only the hook, and let the winner go into paid media.
• E-commerce sellers: Turn product images into product films for product pages, marketplaces, and feeds.
