Which Seedance model should I choose first?

Start with Seedance 2.1 for final video runs. Use Seedance 2 for standard runs, and Seedance 2 Fast for lower-credit drafts at 480p or 720p.

Why are there multiple Seedance modes?

They give you simple choices: Seedance 2.1 for the main cinematic path, Seedance 2 for standard runs, and Seedance 2 Fast for draft iteration.

Can I animate a reference image?

Yes. Switch the video generator to image-to-video, upload one image, and describe the movement or camera path.

How much does a generation cost?

Credit use depends on the selected Seedance mode, duration, resolution, and whether the task starts from text or an image. The generator shows an estimate before running.

Can I generate images too?

Yes. Switch the workspace to image mode to use GPT Image 2 or GPT Image 2 Edit for still assets.
