Seedance 2.5: three tiers, priced per second

Where the tiers sit on this site

Seedance 2.5 is one family of video tiers on SceneMixer, and picking one is a single setting: the tier button in the episode editor, or Settings → Model Preferences → Video Model. The choice applies to the segments you render from then on; segments already made keep the tier they were rendered with, and each version records it. The price tag on a segment’s generate button always shows the tier you are about to use, before you spend anything.

The three tiers cover the three resolutions a finished episode usually needs: drafts, phone screens and larger displays. Each has its own page if you want the detail behind it: Pro, Lite, and the entry tier.

What each tier costs per second

Three tiers, one price scale. Everything the site charges for a video segment is per second of rendered picture, at the tier you picked:

What you can make with it

The still above is The Eagle’s Vow, an episode made end-to-end on this site with Wan 3.0 · 720P — the same project flow this page describes, from the pasted script to the composite; the tier is a single setting, so the same storyboard renders on any Seedance 2.5 tier instead.

Everything the site produces can be made on these tiers: multi-episode series cut into segments, one-scene tests, dialogue scenes with voices, and vertical versions of the same story. The family does not change what a project can be — it changes how each second looks and what it costs. A project holds its episodes; each episode is a run of segments; a finished episode can be composited from the active version of every segment and shared.

Dialogue and ambient sound come with the picture, so a talking scene needs no separate audio step. And because every render is kept as a version, a segment can be re-rendered on a higher tier as the keeper while the cheap draft stays in the same list.

How to start

Open Select Model in the editor’s top bar before the first render and set the drafting rate: Seedance 2.5 · 480P at 19 credits a second is the one to try a segment on, and then only the keepers move to the two steps above. Nothing earlier is included, mind: the site reads the script for a fee set by its length, and while it grants 15 sheets free to every account, a larger cast is billed image by image. Renders are charged per second delivered.

Two guides go with this: the draft-then-finish pattern in full, and what fits in one take before the shot list is planned.
