## Notes

Lightweight, lowest-cost tier in the Seedance 2.0 family: the fastest and most affordable option, ideal for drafts and high-volume short-form. 480p and 720p only (no 1080p or 4K).

**Tip**

* Pair with Seedream 5.0 Lite for the reference image first when targeting lifelike-face cohesion across multiple inputs.

**Uploaded media preprocessing**

* Video inputs are capped to 15 seconds for reference, edit, and extend workflows.
* Uploaded video inputs are normalized to provider-compatible MP4 when needed.
