When should I use Seedance 1.0 Lite for video work?
Use Seedance 1.0 Lite for lower-cost storyboard tests, simple image-to-video motion, and faster iteration than the Pro tier. It supports both text-to-video and image-to-video when direction testing matters more than maximum finish.
What is Seedance 1.0 Lite's real scope on Rivya right now?
On Rivya, Seedance 1.0 Lite currently supports text to video and image to video. It can also take up to 2 reference images.
Which controls or inputs matter most once you're evaluating Seedance 1.0 Lite for real work?
Choose 5 or 10 seconds, then select 480p, 720p, or 1080p and the intended frame shape. For a lower-cost storyboard test, begin with the shortest resolution tier that can still answer the motion question.
When is Seedance 1.0 Lite worth the current credit tier on Rivya?
Rivya currently lists pricing from 16 credits per generation. That cost is easier to justify once the clip is tied to lower-cost storyboard tests instead of open-ended exploration.
When should I choose Seedance 1.0 Lite over a lighter or cheaper alternative on Rivya?
Choose Seedance 1.0 Lite when you need both text-to-video and image-to-video and lower pricing than Seedance 1.0 Pro. If you are still narrowing down the direction, start with a lighter draft option.
What can I test first on this page?
Start here when the first run is aimed at lower-cost storyboard tests, simple image-to-video motion passes, and faster creative iteration than Pro. That keeps the first run practical: check the input, direction, and output quality here before turning it into a longer project.
What can I set up on this page?
This page currently supports text to video and image to video. That makes it easier to see whether a pure shot description or a still-led start is the better way into lower-cost storyboard tests. You can also bring in up to 2 reference images.
Which controls are worth checking before I hit run?
Before you run it, the main checks are duration choices such as 5s and 10s, output tiers like 480p, 720p, and 1080p, and frame shape. Those are usually the pieces that decide whether the first result is close enough that you can keep iterating here toward lower-cost storyboard tests without making the setup heavier than it needs to be.
Do I need to sign in before I run here, and how do credits work?
The page is public, but the actual first video run is still gated behind sign in. Rivya currently lists pricing from 16 credits per generation. You can set up the shot, source asset, and duration first, then sign in when you are ready to generate the clip.
When should I stay on this page, and when should I move into the full Studio?
Stay on this page while you are still validating the first shot, source type, and whether the first result is getting you close to lower-cost storyboard tests on Seedance 1.0 Lite. Open the full Studio once the work needs saved versions, repeated clip iterations, multiple assets, or a longer production thread around the same scene set.
