On October 24, Volc Engine has made another breakthrough in the field of AI video creation, officially launching the Doubao Video Generation Model 1.0 Pro Fast (Doubao-Seedance-1.0-pro-fast). This new version builds on the core advantages of its predecessor, Seedance 1.0 Pro, and achieves significant improvements in efficiency and cost reduction, making it an ideal choice for enterprises and creators to produce video content.
The newly released Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast significantly improves generation speed, capable of generating a 5-second video with 720P resolution in just 10 seconds. This is approximately three times faster than the Pro version, meeting the demand for quickly validating creative ideas in a short time. Additionally, the generation cost of Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast has been greatly reduced. The cost of generating a 5-second 1080P video is only 1.03 yuan, a 72% reduction compared to the Pro version. This means that with 10,000 yuan, the Pro Fast version can create 9,709 5-second 1080P video contents, achieving a 3.56 times performance improvement, greatly reducing the financial pressure on creators.
In terms of video generation quality, Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast has enhanced core capabilities such as instruction following, seamless multi-shot storytelling, and detail expression. Especially in image-to-video generation, this model shows significant advantages over global mainstream models like Veo 3.0 Fast, ensuring high-quality content output.
Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast can accurately adapt to three core application scenarios: first, providing a low-cost trial path for startup teams and content experiments to quickly validate the feasibility of creative ideas; second, enhancing scenario adaptability to meet frequent needs such as short video creation, self-media assistance, and daily content production for small and medium-sized enterprises; finally, offering a smooth transition plan for users who have not yet afforded the Pro version, lowering the threshold for using AI tools.
Volc Engine stated that the four core advantages of Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast — deep instruction parsing and execution, intelligent multi-shot planning, detail expression, and accurate motion trajectory restoration — make the video creation process more controllable, ultimately resulting in higher-quality visual effects.
Currently, Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast is officially launched on the Volc Ark platform, and users can experience this new video generation technology through the platform. This release marks another important milestone for Volc Engine in further developing the AI video creation field, providing powerful tool support for a wide range of content creators.
