About this page

Support documentation is one of the strongest content signals for product SEO because it contains task-oriented language, feature terms, and concrete user intent. The help center should therefore expose meaningful copy in raw HTML as well as inside the client app.

With a static H1, explanatory text, and internal links, this page becomes easier for crawlers to classify as documentation instead of a generic app route.

Getting started with Seedance AI video generation

These guides explain the core AI video workflows available on the Seedance platform. Crawlers and non-JS visitors can read the full instructions for text-to-video, image reference mode, and model selection directly from the static HTML.

How to use text-to-video mode

Select text-to-video on the homepage, describe your video content in the prompt box, optionally expand advanced parameters to adjust resolution, duration, and audio settings, then click Generate. Track progress and download the result from the My Tasks page.

How to write high-quality prompts

Strong prompts include subject, action, environment, lighting, camera movement, style, and pacing. For example: "A young woman in a white dress walking through a sunlit forest, golden hour lighting, slow push-in camera, cinematic style." The more specific the prompt, the better the generation quality.

How to use image reference (first/last frame) mode

Upload a first-frame image (required) to set the starting scene, and optionally a last-frame image to define the ending. The AI will generate a smooth video transition between the two frames. Use clear, high-quality JPG, PNG, or WebP images under 10MB.

Which AI video model should I choose?

seedance-lite is the entry-level model (fast, lower quality). seedance-fast balances speed and quality for most use cases. seedance-high delivers the best quality for commercial deliverables. happyhorse1.1 supports multi-modal creation. veo-lite and veo-basic offer alternative generation paths.

How Stars and membership work

Stars are the platform currency for AI video generation. Free users start with 40 Stars on signup. Membership plans provide monthly Star allocations: PRO (1,200/mo), MAX (2,500/mo, 2x faster), ULTRA (6,000/mo, 5x faster). One-time Star purchases are also available without subscription.

How prompt writing affects generation quality

Describe the subject, action, environment, lighting, camera movement, style, and pacing in clear language. Use cinematic terms like "golden hour", "slow push-in", "aerial drone shot", "macro close-up", "neon noir lighting", or "soft diffused light" to guide the AI toward professional-looking results.

Frequently asked questions about Seedance video generation

What is Seedance 3.0?

Seedance 3.0 is an AI video creation platform built on the latest Seedance video generation models. Enter text descriptions or upload reference images to generate high-quality videos in seconds to minutes, with support for multiple resolutions and durations, plus a community gallery for sharing creations.

How long are generated videos stored?

Generated videos are stored for 24 hours only and then automatically deleted. Download your completed videos to your local device promptly after generation to avoid losing them.

What benefits do new users get?

New users receive 40 free Stars upon registration, plus an additional 30 Stars after their first successful AI video generation. You can also earn Stars by inviting friends (100 Stars per successful referral), receiving 5% of friends' top-up amounts, and sharing approved community posts (5 Stars each).

What video generation modes are supported?

The platform supports two modes: Text-to-Video (describe a scene and the AI generates a video directly) and Image Reference mode (upload first/last frame images for precise start and end control, ideal for projects with clear visual targets).

What should I do if video generation fails?

If generation fails, Stars are automatically refunded. Check whether your prompt contains prohibited content, try simplifying or rewording the prompt, verify reference images are clear and correctly formatted, or contact support with your task ID if failures persist.

Why did my Star balance decrease?

Stars are deducted when you submit a video generation task based on the estimated consumption shown before generation. You can review every Star transaction in your Profile under Star Change History.

Can I get a refund for membership subscriptions?

Membership subscriptions and one-time purchases are non-refundable by default. If benefits fail to activate due to a technical issue on our side, contact us within 7 business days and we will investigate and resolve the issue.

How do I share my creations in the community?

Sign in, navigate to Community, click Create Post, fill in the title and content, attach a video (you can select from your generated videos), add generation parameters, and submit for review. Approved posts are publicly displayed and earn you 5 Stars.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payments are processed securely through Stripe, supporting major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and select local payment methods as shown at checkout.

What are the differences between membership tiers?

PRO provides 1,200 Stars/month with standard generation speed. MAX provides 2,500 Stars/month with 2x faster generation. ULTRA provides 6,000 Stars/month with 5x faster generation, highest priority queue, and exclusive processing resources.
