Seedance 1.5 Pro makes video from a prompt or a still at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with sound optional in the same run. It is priced per second at roughly a tenth of the flagship rate, which is what makes iterating on a shot affordable.
Three tiers, each priced per second — a draft and a delivery are different bills.
Silent 480p runs at a fraction of what the flagship Seedance costs per second.
Generated on this site. Every output is AI-generated, so the same prompt returns different frames each run — read these as the range, not as a template.
Seedance 1.5 Pro is ByteDance's mid-weight video model. It takes a prompt or a still image and returns a moving shot at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with audio optional in the same pass.
Its reason to exist on this site is price. Silent 480p output runs at roughly a tenth of what the flagship Seedance 2.0 costs per second, which turns "try five directions" from a budget decision into an ordinary afternoon. On Kavel the estimate is computed from the exact tier and length you picked, and a failed run is refunded automatically (unless it broke the content policy).

Per second of output, by tier, with audio priced separately. The estimate updates as you change any of the three.
When a five-second silent test costs 14 credits instead of 300, you explore before you commit rather than defending the first result you got.
Sound roughly doubles the per-second price at every tier. Iterate silent, switch it on for the take you keep.
480p, 720p and 1080p are separate rates picked before the run — this is not one output upscaled afterwards.
Per-second billing means a ten-second clip costs exactly twice a five-second one at the same tier. Deciding how long the shot needs to be, before deciding how sharp it needs to be, is usually the cheaper order to think in.
When a clip earns the extra spend, Seedance 2.0 adds the higher tiers and reference inputs; Kling 3.0 is the other mid-weight option and goes up to 4K. When the draft is settled and the finished take needs to run past ten seconds, MiniMax H3 goes to fifteen in one generation.
At roughly a tenth of the flagship rate per second, this tier is the cheap way to find out whether an idea holds together before paying for the full model. That matters most on clips where the motion is the whole point — the AI dance video generator is the usual place to test that, since a dance either reads as one continuous take or it does not.
It is the rung between the free engine and the flagships, and the reason to choose it is almost always iteration cost.
Anything you will regenerate several times belongs on the cheapest tier that still shows you the answer.
The free tier is capped at 480p and six seconds; this model gives you 1080p and real length control.
At a tenth of the flagship rate, a fixed credit balance buys an order of magnitude more attempts.
What the model accepts and returns, from this site's runtime configuration.
Describe subject, motion and camera in one prompt and get a moving shot back.
Hand it a still and it animates that frame instead of inventing a new scene.
Generated with the shot when enabled; leave it off and the clip is silent and roughly half the price.
480p, 720p and 1080p are chosen before the run, each with its own per-second rate.
The credit cost reflects the exact tier, length and audio setting selected.
Turning audio off is the single largest lever on what a session costs, and it changes nothing about framing or motion.
From the provider price table and this site's runtime config. Anything absent here is absent because we could not source it.
Four steps. The middle two are where the cost is decided.
Starting from a still removes most of the variance, because the opening frame is already settled.
480p silent is the exploring tier. Move up only once the shot is right.
It roughly doubles the per-second rate at every tier, and you are judging motion, not sound.
Say what the camera does and what changes across the clip. The estimate updates before you commit.
Four jobs where iteration cost, not peak quality, decides the model.
Several silent 480p passes in one sitting, to find out which direction is worth finishing.
1080p is enough for a feed, and the per-second rate makes a series of posts affordable.
Image-to-video keeps the frame that was already signed off, so the review loop stays short.
Cheap enough to render every beat of a sequence rather than only the hero shot.
Because the structure of a prompt transfers between video models, a cheap pass here is a fair way to find out whether an idea works before spending flagship credits on it.
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, and failed jobs are not charged. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

Model credit guide
You're only charged for successful generations. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 211 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 473. A full 30s take runs ≈ 1,260 at 480p and ≈ 2,835 at 720p. Supplying a reference clip lowers the per-second rate. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | 5s 720p image-to-video ≈ 188 credits; text-to-video ≈ 308 credits. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 5s 720p text-to-video ≈ 248 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest Seedance tier. 5s 720p ≈ 154 credits, 5s 480p ≈ 72 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 5s 720p ≈ 27 credits silent, ≈ 53 with audio; 1080p ≈ 57 and ≈ 113. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second (Lite tier). About 45 credits at 720p and 53 at 1080p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate. 5s 720p ≈ 105 credits silent, ≈ 150 with audio; 1080p ≈ 135 and ≈ 203. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 158 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. About 8 credits per 1K image, 12 at 2K, 18 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. About 12 credits per 1K or 2K image, 21 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant. A flat 8 credits per image at every resolution. Start here to test. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost image model here. About 3 credits per 1K image, 6 at 2K, 12 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — about 8 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
What it costs, what it accepts, and where it stops.
It bills per second and by tier. A five-second 480p clip without audio is about 14 credits on this site; the same clip with audio is about 27, and 720p silent is about 27. The generator shows the estimate for your exact settings before you start, and a failed run is refunded automatically (unless it broke the content policy).
Roughly an order of magnitude at comparable settings. Seedance 2.0 at 720p costs about 308 credits for five seconds; this model at 720p silent is about 27. That gap is the whole reason it is wired here — it is what makes iterating normal instead of expensive.
Close to it at every tier. That is a provider rate rather than a markup on our side, so the practical habit is to work silent and enable sound only for the take you intend to keep.
Yes. Switch to the Image to video tab and supply a still; the model animates that frame rather than inventing a new scene, which is usually the more predictable of the two modes.
It goes further. The free engine is pinned to 480p and six seconds; this model offers 1080p and the full length range. Whether the picture is better for your particular shot is worth testing on one cheap run rather than taking on trust.
Frame rate is not something we have confirmed from the provider, so this page does not state one. The same applies to anything missing from the specifications table.
Commercial rights follow your Kavel plan rather than this particular model, so the pricing page is the place to check what your tier includes. Nothing on this page grants rights the plan itself does not.
Write a prompt or upload a still, start at the cheapest tier, and the estimate appears before you generate.
Sound is generated in the same run, and it is optional.
