How many credits is a 5 second Seedance 2.1 720p text-to-video run?

A 5 second 720p Seedance 2.1 text-to-video run is estimated at 300 credits.

Why can image-to-video use fewer credits?

When you start with an image, the generator has a visual reference to animate, so the credit estimate can be lower for the same duration and resolution.

Why is there no 1080p Fast estimate?

The Fast estimates shown here cover 480p and 720p draft modes. For 1080p, compare Seedance 2.1 or Seedance 2 instead.

Can credits be used for GPT Image 2?

Yes. The same credit balance can be used for image generation, with cost based on quality and resolution.
