Seedance 1.5 Pro AI Video Generator
Seedance 1.5 Pro is the tier where you stop rationing attempts. Roughly a tenth of the flagship rate, 480p through 1080p, sound optional in the same run — so trying a shot four different ways costs less than getting it right once at the top.
Seedance 1.5 Pro AI Video Generator
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 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 SayMaker 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).

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 six-second silent test costs 45 credits instead of 340, 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 two and a half times a four-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 takes image, video and audio as references to direct the shot; Kling 3.0 is the other mid-weight option and goes up to 4K. When the take needs more detail than 1080p without paying for a 4K pass, MiniMax H3 renders at a fixed 2K.
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.
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.

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.
SayMaker pricing — you pay per generation, never per seat
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, the safety check runs before the model does, and a failed run is refunded automatically. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. 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 ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Questions about this model
What it costs, what it accepts, and where it stops.
It bills per second and by tier. A six-second 480p clip without audio is about 45 credits on this site; the same clip with audio is about 85, and 720p silent is about 85. 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).
About ten times cheaper at comparable settings. Seedance 2.0 at 720p costs about 925 credits for six seconds; this model at 720p silent is about 85. 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 a one-run question at this rate, which is the whole point of a tier this cheap.
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 SayMaker 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.
Price. It is the lowest-cost premium video on SayMaker — a fraction of 2.0's rate — and silent drafts are its sweet spot. When a draft earns a final, move it up to 2.0 or 2.5.
