Seedance 1.5 Pro makes the talking clip people stop to watch: voices, lip sync and sound in one run, at about a sixth of Seedance 2.0's price.
Every model below runs on the same credit balance, so a draft can go up against a newer model in two clicks.
Each clip was posted on X by the person who made it, with the model named, sound and all.
Turn one still into a talking scene: the four steps creators share with their shorts, ads and anime clips.
Many creators make the first frame with an image model, then attach it so the character and set are fixed before anything moves.
Write the dialogue as a script, one quoted line per speaker, and the voices come back matched to the mouths.
A 6-second draft is 85 credits. Once the take works, run the same prompt at 1080p for the version you post.
Clips run 4 to 10 seconds. Trailers and short films built on this model are edited from many short takes.
Seedance 1.5 Pro is ByteDance's joint audio-video model, and its weights are private, so there is nothing to download or install. Here you run it in the browser with an email login, no app region to switch.

Describe the scene or attach one or two images, then pick 16:9, 9:16 for Shorts, or 1:1.
Sound is on by default, and the price you see already includes it.
The credit estimate updates as you change length and resolution; the number you see is the number you pay.
Lip sync and sound are what testers single out first: "just next level in audio", one wrote. One reviewer picked it for talking heads and social clips, and this creator's serum pitch to camera is one run, voice included.
In the Kling 2.6 matchups, replies said Seedance "just goes for it" and called its battle scene far better. A tester who ran a stairs-and-walking prompt found it stuck very closely to the directions with no end frame. Here, a single text prompt carries an astronaut from a cracking window into the blast of a dying star.
Faces stay steady and the original art style survives: one animator on r/HiggsfieldAI calls it their most reliable way to move anime-style images, running 8-second clips with audio on.
Short prompts, big clips. These are the creators' own words beside the video each one made.
Two sentences: the action, then the camera. The model fills in the snow, the speed and the spray.
A snowboarder races down a mountain as an avalanche roars behind. The camera performs a high-speed chase from the front, catching chunks of snow and ice tumbling past.
The sound is written into the prompt, so the roar and the camera shake arrive with the picture.
A realistic side-on shot of a high-speed train passing extremely close to the camera. Massive motion blur as the train rushes past. Air displacement sound, metallic roaring, slight camera shake as it passes.

Reach for 1.5 Pro for talking shots and drafts: a 6-second 720p clip with sound is 160 credits, about a sixth of the 2.0 price. People who own both mix the two in the edit.

Its launch week filled Reddit with same-prompt tests against Kling 2.6, and the replies kept picking Seedance for movement and cinematic feel. A 10-second clip here costs about a third of Kling 2.6's price.

Mini and Fast stop at 720p. 1.5 Pro goes to 1080p, and at 720p its 6-second clip costs about a third of Mini's and a fifth of Fast's.
See Seedance 2 MiniSeedance 2.5 holds a scene for up to 30 seconds in one take. For 10-second shots at 720p, 1.5 Pro costs about a ninth as much, so a whole storyboard of drafts fits the budget of one long take.

A 6-second clip is 85 credits at 480p, 160 at 720p and 340 at 1080p, sound included. The cheapest run, 4 seconds at 480p, is 55 credits. A run that fails puts its credits back.
For many shots, yes. At the same length and resolution it costs about a sixth of Seedance 2.0, so talking heads, dialogue beats and drafts get far more takes. Creators who use both generate some shots on each and cut them together.
Yes. ByteDance built it as a joint audio-video model: voices, sound effects and lip sync are generated with the picture. On Kavel sound is on by default, and the credit price already counts it.
Write the dialogue as a script: describe each person once, then label every line, as in Person 1 (soft): "Say it." and Person 2: "...". Keep one quoted line per speaker per turn and add the room sound after the dialogue.
480p, 720p or 1080p, at 4, 6, 8 or 10 seconds per clip, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
