# Seedance 1.0 Lite — fast drafts

> Seedance 1.0 Lite on eroq: the fast 720p tier for drafts and iteration, 3 to 12 second clips from 40 credits, included from the Hobby plan.

Seedance Lite is the iteration engine: the Seedance prompt language and motion at 720p, 3 to 12 seconds, from 40 credits a clip. It is included from the $15 Hobby plan, which makes it the cheapest way to storyboard a whole film before spending Pro credits on the keepers.

## The draft engine

Blocking a scene means rendering it several times: a different camera move, a tighter lens, a slower tempo. On Lite each of those attempts costs 40 to 110 credits, so four takes of a 5-second scene come to 240 credits — less than two Pro renders. Once the composition works, the same prompt and seed go to Pro or Seedance 2.5 for the final.

## What it shares with Pro

- The same prompt register and rack handling — a prompt tuned on Lite carries over.
- Native aspect ratios, image-to-video from references and Characters.
- A seed, so re-renders can be controlled.

## Starting points

- **Coffee steam** — A cup of coffee steaming on a wooden table by a rainy window, slow push-in, soft window light, calm tempo
- **City crosswalk** — A busy crosswalk at night from a static high angle, umbrellas crossing, neon reflections on the wet street
- **Gym morning** — A boxer wrapping their hands in a quiet gym at dawn, close-up on the hands, dust in the light, handheld

## FAQ

### What is the difference between Seedance Lite and Pro?

Lite tops out at 720p and costs less than half; Pro renders 1080p with stronger motion fidelity. Same lengths (3–12 s), same inputs, same prompt style.

### Which plan includes Seedance Lite?

Hobby ($15/month) and every plan above it. Pay-as-you-go accounts render on Motion One.

### How cheap is a draft?

40 credits for a 3-second clip, 60 for 5 seconds — roughly 40 to 60 cents at the entry pack rate, less on a plan.
