How TubeGen uses Seedance
Seedance is TubeGen's default animation model. It turns a still scene into a motion clip at 26 credits per second at 720p or 59 at 1080p, one of the lowest-cost ways to animate in the product, second only to P-Video-2. Clips have a ~3-second minimum and run up to 8 seconds. It is the option labelled Default in the animation quality picker.
WHAT IT DOES
What Seedance does in TubeGen
Runs by default
Seedance is what animates a scene unless you pick something else. It appears in the picker as Default — balanced.
Low-cost default
26 credits per second at 720p and 59 at 1080p. Only P-Video-2 costs less, at 25 and 50.
720p or 1080p
Full HD is available at 59 credits per second. Pixverse and P-Video-2 also offer 1080p.
Three to eight seconds
A roughly three-second minimum, the longest of any animation option, so it always uses length-range mode.
WHAT IT COSTS
What Seedance costs in TubeGen
Credits are billed per second of clip and shown before you generate. P-Video-2 is 25 at 720p and 50 at 1080p, High is 45 at 720p and 90 at 1080p, Turbo is 70 at 720p, and Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 is 100 at 720p.
AFTER IT IS ANIMATED
Adjust this clip
Describe the change in your own words and it is applied to the clip you already have, with the rest of the motion left intact. This is cheaper and faster than animating the scene again from nothing, and it keeps the motion you already liked.
Edits are billed at 80 credits per second of the scene's length, rounded up, so a 2.1-second scene bills as 3 seconds.
