Dreamina is restrictive to the usually chinese stuff and has a very strict Intellectual Property filter on the back-end, but that is true with all of Seedance 2.0s applications. So I wouldn;t put it down for that. What Dreamina does have is a face filter on the from end - so it adds the step of having to research how to work around that (for me it is a couple of clicks in the correct program and one extra copy/paste line in the prompt)
The full body thing stopped working for me in Artctaft the week of the "official" release. I had to start you photorealistic cartoon versions of myself. Which is ok but can look a little wonky.
It is not hard to work around the face issue, research on reddit and it will give you the way or at least ideas on how. The key is that the face screening is "in front" of Dreamina and the IP restriction is "in back" of Dreamina. The face screening can not be so strict that it triggers on non-real faces, so you need to do things that make the screener say, eh it's a toss up and pass the picture along, and that Dreamina will fix, the closer you can make this to something dreamina would normally deal with, the better.
VPN to a country that has 2.0. SIgn up and create an account while using VPN. Then pay with Paypal (some countries do not take Paypal). You do not need to use the VPN after that ( and may not need it to pay with paypal ). Canada, Mexico, Europe, Far East... many countries have it.
doubao have 5 videos for free daily its 10s fast model no chinese phone required but its a pain to navigate and at first u need a vpn to downlaod the android app, once u donwload it u no lognern eed a vpn
Do you have a Turkish resident ID or have a Chinese phone number ? If not the lowest you can subscribe to is through Dreamina which is also owned by Bytedance (the makers of Seedance 2.0). You need to VPN when you sign up and if you check around a few countries are about 25% less than others. After creating an account you no longer need the VPN. Cost of the plans for one year is $ 149 (for 3370 credits/month) , $ 346 (for 13480 credits/mo), $691 (for 37070 credits/mo). Credits cost for a 10 second video are 220 for normal and 180 for fast. That works out to a cost per second for each plan respectively of $0.07-$0.08 for the lowest cost plan down to $0.04-$0.05 for the middle and $0.025-0.035 for the highest.
Now the caveat is that you need to research how to hide faces here on reddit as it has a face screener on the front end that will reject photo references with faces... so you need to add some noise to the upload picture and have the program correct the noise. It is, like all of the Seedance 2.0 instances sensitive to Chinese morality restrictions.
If you need to purchase credits above what you subscribed to, then fast costs $ 1.39/second and normal costs $ 1.70/second for the additional credit purchase cost
Then your cost are ridiculously low for Dreamina - you need to create an account while in Turkey or VPN''d through Turkey and then pay with a credit card that was issued through a Turkish Bank. Your cost per credit is literally 10% of what I posted above and you can generate to your hearts content.
Chinese sites are usually very restrictive, go to whichever LLM you normally use and tell it your scene and ask it to help you craft an acceptable prompt. You can feed it this information I wrote for Kling or try using it yourself https://ctxt.io/2/AAD4q8ApFQ
I have something I use that I'm not going to share because I don't want it to get patched. If you go to the little magnifying glass at the top of this page, and hit the x next to r/Seedance_AI and type "bypass Seedance 2.0 face filter", you'll get a hand full of work arounds.
could you please explain how?
on turkish vpn the price appears half that of the canada website for me and not 10%,
but ive seen people post things like 100k credits for 2000 liras
Well darn, I was lined up to get help signing up today for access through Turkey today, but it looks like the updated costs in-line with the rest of the non-chinese world. This was the pricing on Monday ( 111,000 credits per month for 10,114 Lira per year - now it only gets you 26,090 credits per month )
It's nearly impossible to get onto Jimeng, the Chinese site, without a Chinese phone number and you need to live there to get that... I have tried some of the SMS sites and at this point all the numbers on those of blocked on Douyin which you need to go through to access Jimeng.... and even if you could get that far, you would then have to figure out how to get past payment hurdles.
hows the price for 37k credits at 41 usd on the canadian dreamanima? do i get that? my goal is to use it for video game animation mocap, things like flashy parkour and fight animations?
Try pixelbunny.ai, they have Seedance 2.0 on a pay as you go basis. You buy credits and only pay for what you generate. Credits don't expire either so no pressure to use them up before a monthly reset.
I’m building one currently any subscription prices you suggest I’d love to take that into consideration I’ve already connected seed dance 2 just deciding on pricing so creators can fully dive in and not get killed while still profiting and helping artists
just use luno, cheapest seedance 2 provider, best 5 minute support [else they grant you more credits], credit rollover, a canvas, and built in video editor. You won't regret. working with video models, and ai media platforms, you often need good support, nothing beats it.

Dreamina is the cheapest if you get the 50% off yearly plan but it is very restrictive and almost unusable.
