Questions
Frequently asked
Why use Seedream 4.5 for image-to-video pipelines?
Seedream's aesthetic profile and identity consistency carry through downstream animation. Other image models can produce frames that look great alone but drift heavily when animated.
How does Seedream 4.5 compare to Flux 2 Pro?
Flux 2 Pro has the edge on raw detail and text rendering. Seedream 4.5 is tuned for animation-friendly output and is the safer pick for image-to-video.
What resolution does Seedream 4.5 output?
Up to 2K native — sufficient for 1080p video pipelines without upscaling.
Can Seedream 4.5 edit existing images?
Yes. Provide an image and a prompt to modify, restyle, or extend it.
