01
Ad hooks you can test in batches
Write six versions of the same opening beat, hold the product and brand colours fixed, and vary only the action or the camera move. The cheaper tiers make that volume affordable before you commit to a hero cut.
Text to Video, Free:1080P Seedance, No Watermark
Write the scene and the official Seedance models shoot it. Subject, action, camera move, and light all follow the words you type, with no queue and no watermark on what you download. New accounts start with free credits.
Real output
One prompt, one finished shot
Nothing was attached to this generation: no reference image, no editing pass. The prompt below is the entire input, and the clip beside it is what came back.
Prompt
A macro FPV chase shot follows a striped bee skimming inches above a busy highway at sunset, weaving between speeding cars, tires, lane markers, dust, and road debris. The low camera races across the asphalt with intense motion blur and warm golden-hour light. The bee narrowly escapes traffic as a huge explosion erupts behind it, flames and smoke swallowing the road, cinematic high-speed action.
The full prompt, exactly as it was sent.
Result
Seedance output, downloaded without a watermark.
Use cases
What people write from scratch
Text to video is the fastest way to test an idea that does not exist as footage yet. These are the jobs it takes on most often here.
02
Storyboards and previz
Turn a written shot list into moving frames, so a director, a client, or a teammate reacts to pacing and blocking instead of a static board.
03
Social clips at platform ratios
Choose the aspect ratio first and write for it. Vertical hooks for short-form feeds, wide frames for pre-roll, and no reframing pass afterwards.
04
B-roll you cannot shoot
Establishing shots, weather, crowds, macro detail, aerials: the footage that would otherwise need a location, a permit, or a drone.
How it works
How text to video works here
There is no mode to pick. The composer reads your input and routes itself, so attaching nothing keeps the job on text to video.
01
Describe the shot, not the topic
Name the subject, what it does, where the camera sits, and how it moves. Lens and lighting words such as golden hour, macro, or handheld land far harder than adjectives such as beautiful.
02
Choose a model and a length
Seedance 2.5 runs up to 30 seconds. Seedance 2.0, Fast, and Mini trade ceiling for cost, and Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling 3.0, and MiniMax H3 sit in the same picker.
03
Generate, review, keep the take
Finished clips land in your asset library at full quality with no watermark, ready to download or to attach back in as a reference.
Questions
Text to video questions
- Is text to video really free?
- New accounts start with free credits and no card, which is enough to judge real output before deciding anything. After that, credits come from a plan or a one-time pack, and the Mini and Fast tiers stretch them furthest.
- Will there be a watermark?
- No. Nothing rendered here carries a watermark, on free credits or on a paid plan, so a clip can go straight into an edit.
- How long and how sharp can a clip be?
- Seedance 2.5 generates up to 30 seconds. Resolution follows the plan: free and Lite render Seedance at 720p, while Pro and Premium unlock 1080P.
- Do I have to choose text to video before I start?
- No. The composer infers intent from what you attach. Nothing means text to video, one image becomes image to video, two images become the first and last frame, and a video turns the attachments into a reference group.
