Special-offer full-capability · Seedance 2.0 Lite
The official special-offer route — assets reviewed for assetId, zero face distortion, 720P output.
Lite shares the Standard version's full capability: text-to-video, image-to-video (first/last frame) and multimodal reference-to-video. The only differences are price and resolution — special-offer billing at 720P, with media reviewed before submission so real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion. Pick it when you need full-capability 720P delivery at the lowest unit cost.

Lite shares the Standard version's full task capability; it only lowers unit price via special-offer billing and outputs 720P. Refer to the pricing page for live special-offer rates.
Lite is not a cut-down tier — it is the special-price, full-capability delivery tier at 720P.
Public URLs are reviewed into assetId references before submission; real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion — production-safe for commercial use.
The special-offer tier outputs 720P — sharp enough for most feed, ad and short-drama delivery. Need 1080P or higher? Switch to the Standard tier.
Text-to-video, image-to-video (first/last frame) and multimodal reference-to-video match Standard, with the same reference budgets.
Official special-offer pricing, charged on successful tasks only — bringing full-capability delivery into a batch-production-friendly cost range.
Use Fast Budget or Mini Budget to validate composition, timing and reference roles cheaply.
Switch to seedance-2.0-lite-* and render the final cut at 720P with full-capability quality.
For 1080P+ masters or stability-critical pipelines, keep the Standard tier as a backup channel.
Only the model field changes — auth, billing and observability carry over.

}Lite is the official special-offer full-capability route: identical task capability and reference mechanism as Standard, but billed at the special price, with 720P output. Assets are reviewed into assetId references, and real-person content passes with zero distortion.
No. The Seedance 2.0 Lite special-offer tier outputs 720P only. For 1080P or higher resolutions, use the Standard tier.
Lite runs on the full-capability pipeline: media URLs are reviewed into assetId references before the task is submitted, so real-person content passes 100% with no facial distortion. Plain public URLs just work — the pipeline handles the review for you.
When you need 720P full-capability delivery with real people on camera at a cost-sensitive price: commercial ads, short drama, e-commerce footage. Use Fast Budget / Mini Budget for drafts, and Lite for final delivery.
Integrate once on APIPod — switching between Lite and Standard is one model field: special price, full capability, 720P output.
