Seedance 1.5 Pro AI Video Generator
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.
Sound is generated in the same run, and it is optional.
Seedance 1.5 Pro AI Video Generator
What is Seedance 1.5 Pro?
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 it runs through the KIE runtime, the estimate is computed from the exact tier and length you picked, and a failed run is never charged.
Creative engine
How a run is billed
Per second of output, by tier, with audio priced separately. The estimate updates as you change any of the three.
Drafting changes shape
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.
Audio doubles the rate
Sound roughly doubles the per-second price at every tier. Iterate silent, switch it on for the take you keep.
Tier is chosen up front
480p, 720p and 1080p are separate rates picked before the run — this is not one output upscaled afterwards.
Length multiplies everything
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.
Clips made on Kavel
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.
Stated motion holds
When this is the right pick
It is the rung between the free engine and the flagships, and the reason to choose it is almost always iteration cost.
You expect to run it more than once
Anything you will regenerate several times belongs on the cheapest tier that still shows you the answer.
You need better than the free engine
The free tier is capped at 480p and six seconds; this model gives you 1080p and real length control.
The budget is the constraint
At a tenth of the flagship rate, a fixed credit balance buys an order of magnitude more attempts.
Features
What the model accepts and returns, from this site's runtime configuration.
Text-to-video
Describe subject, motion and camera in one prompt and get a moving shot back.
Image-to-video
Hand it a still and it animates that frame instead of inventing a new scene.
Optional audio
Generated with the shot when enabled; leave it off and the clip is silent and roughly half the price.
Three tiers
480p, 720p and 1080p are chosen before the run, each with its own per-second rate.
Estimate before you commit
The credit cost reflects the exact tier, length and audio setting selected.
Silent drafting
Turning audio off is the single largest lever on what a session costs, and it changes nothing about framing or motion.

Generating with it
Four steps. The middle two are where the cost is decided.
Pick text or image to video
Starting from a still removes most of the variance, because the opening frame is already settled.
Start at the lowest tier
480p silent is the exploring tier. Move up only once the shot is right.
Leave audio off while iterating
It roughly doubles the per-second rate at every tier, and you are judging motion, not sound.
Name the motion, then generate
Say what the camera does and what changes across the clip. The estimate updates before you commit.
What people make with it
Four jobs where iteration cost, not peak quality, decides the model.
Exploring a concept
Several silent 480p passes in one sitting, to find out which direction is worth finishing.
Social clips
1080p is enough for a feed, and the per-second rate makes a series of posts affordable.
Animating approved stills
Image-to-video keeps the frame that was already signed off, so the review loop stays short.
Storyboards in motion
Cheap enough to render every beat of a sequence rather than only the hero shot.
Testing a prompt before a costlier model
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.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
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 2.0 | 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. Mini is cheaper still. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video (Lite). About 34 credits at 1080p, about 23 at 720p. |
| 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. About 8 credits per image. Start here to test. |
Questions about this model
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 never charged.
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.
