Short answer

Use Seedance 2.0 for final renders and anything with references (up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio clips), and Seedance 2.0 Fast for quick drafts. Seedance 2.0 Mini is the pick for high-volume tests and the cheapest 1080p. Seedance 2.5 is for longer clips of up to 30 seconds. On KreatorFlow a 5-second clip at 720p costs 15 credits with Seedance 2.0 and 12 with Fast, and 5 with Mini.

Which model for which job

  1. 1

    Final renders: Seedance 2.0

    Clips of 4 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p, 1080p and 4K, with image, video and audio references in one generation. The model for the shot you publish.

  2. 2

    Drafts: Seedance 2.0 Fast

    Quicker and cheaper, up to 1080p. Test the prompt, the framing and the camera move here before you move to Seedance 2.0.

  3. 3

    Volume tests and budget 1080p: Seedance 2.0 Mini

    The cheapest way to try many variations. A 5-second 1080p clip costs only 7 credits.

  4. 4

    Long clips: Seedance 2.5

    Clips of 4 to 30 seconds when a shot needs more time.

One prompt, from draft to final

Test the prompt on the cheaper model, then render it with Seedance 2.0 once it works. Every render is a new take, so expect small differences.

  • Product

    A glass perfume bottle on black marble, the camera slowly orbits it, soft studio light, gold reflections.

  • Travel

    Drone shot at sunrise over a black-sand beach, waves breaking slowly, one person walking towards the water.

  • Character

    @mara looks out of a night train window, city lights sliding across her face, medium shot, calm mood.
