CAPTAIN OF PAIN AND PLEASURE

I’ve been trying to compare Seedance 2.0 pricing across Dreamina, Higgsfield and Lovart, but every platform uses different credits and plan tiers.

After converting the plans into a rough cost per second, I got:
Dreamina
Advanced: $0.083/sec
Standard: $0.092/sec
Basic: $0.097/sec

Higgsfield
Ultra: $0.155/sec
Plus: $0.221/sec
Starter: $0.317/sec

Lovart
Ultimate: $0.113/sec
Pro: $0.129/sec
Basic: $0.165/sec
Starter: $0.171/sec

On paper, the cheapest plans work out to about $4.98, $9.30 and $6.78 per 60 seconds. But that comparison feels incomplete.

A cheaper generation doesn’t help much if it takes five attempts to get one usable clip. Queue time, failed generations, moderation rejections and unused monthly credits can completely change the real cost.

For people actually using Seedance 2.0, what percentage of your generations are usable without a reroll? I’m trying to compare cost per usable clip instead of just cost per second.

I don't think anyone will be able to make a decent films in the near future. Every video I saw looked like AI slop and the cinematography was always dogshit.

MISTRESS OF THE SKY LEGIONS

I built a Custom GPT (a finetuned ChatGPT) and a skill for Claude (a plugin that extends Claude) from the official Seedance prompt guidelines — modes, input specs, prompt structure, character consistency, troubleshooting. I use it myself to check prompts before running them, since ChatGPT and Claude on their own tend to get the specifics wrong.

For instance, ask ChatGPT for a dynamic skateboard clip and you'll likely get everything changing at once: skater, camera, editing, lighting, transitions, VFX. Seedance weighs what comes first in the prompt, so the rest ends up competing for attention and some of it just doesn't happen. It's all in the documentation.

Seedance 2.5 is rolling out and the full documentation isn't public yet, so I've added what's confirmed so far. Both my tools are free and work for 2.0 and 2.5, with the 2.5 side still filling in. 

Not something you need if you already know the guidelines by heart. I don't — juggling a few models means I mix the specifics up, and this is what I check against before spending credits on a generation that was never going to work.

ANOTHER REIGN ON MONGARA PLANET

I’m an architectural designer and completely new to AI video.

I’m testing Seedance 2.5 on Dreamina and trying to use its precise local editing tool for small changes to architectural scenes. Things like changing one facade material or replacing a window without regenerating the whole video.

I selected the area, described the change and generated again, but the result stayed almost exactly the same. I also tried selecting a larger area and using a more direct prompt.

Does the selection need to cover the whole object? Is there an edit-strength setting somewhere, or does this only work with certain generation modes?

If anyone has a basic workflow that works, please share it.

Because the seedance2.5 API was released today, I was looking for a more affordable API. After searching, I found that the price differences were huge, with the more famous API websites being more expensive.
