Seedance 2.5 for fast creator-story clips
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's newest short-form video model, tuned for vertical creator clips and social ads. Seedance 2.0 and the lower-cost 2.0 Mini stay available for cheaper iteration when a job needs many drafts before the winning prompt appears.

Seedance questions
Use Seedance for social-first iteration and stylized creator clips. Use Kling when cinematic motion and physical coherence matter more.
Start with Seedance 2.5 for the newest motion and detail, up to 1080p. Seedance 2.0 and the lower-cost Seedance 2.0 Mini (480p and 720p) are good for cheaper drafts. The example clip on this page was made with Seedance 2.5.
It depends on the version, resolution and length. The table on this page lists credits per second and the cost of a full clip, read from live pricing, and the generator shows the exact amount before every run.
In our product-video test it gave the richest light and texture, but it was the slowest and most expensive model we ran, and small design changes appeared on some photos: a sneaker colorway drifted and an earbuds case changed shape. Seedance clips on Swayclip are generated without audio.
Paid-plan and Credit Pack outputs can be used commercially within the paid entitlement scope, but you are responsible for rights in uploaded images, logos, and likenesses.
We update examples, prompts, and cost notes when the model or creator demand changes enough to matter.
No. Swayclip is an independent creative tool that shows the real underlying model name.
