Six families. Different resolutions, quality tiers, reference slots, and face restrictions. Pick by what you need — not by the longest model name.
Open GenerateNumbers match the credit estimate you see in Generate before you run. Examples use a 15-second clip where shown.
The three cards only feature Seedance 2 Pro (Omni) because those rows are the lowest-credit way to hit 480p, 720p, and 1080p with a resolution you pick in Generate. Seedance 2 Pro (VIP) (Preview VIP) is a priority queue — higher credits per second than Omni for the same bucket — so it is not a "cheapest" pick; rates are in the table below and the full VIP spec is under Family specs.
Model
Seedance 2 Pro (Omni)
Seedance 2 Pro (Omni) at 480p + Basic is the cheapest resolution you choose in Generate for this clip length across the Seedance family. No face restriction. Add image / video / audio refs as needed.
Model
Seedance 2 Pro (Omni)
Cheapest 720p combo you set in Generate: Seedance 2 Pro (Omni) at Basic — same credit math as the estimator. Standard Preview can look cheaper per second on paper, but output framing and queue time vary; use it only if that tradeoff works for you.
Model
Seedance 2 Pro (Omni)
Cheapest 1080p combo you set in Generate: Seedance 2 Pro (Omni) with High quality — same as the estimator. Basic (fast) tier does not offer 1080p on Omni; use High for full HD.

c/s = credits per second · 15s totals = example output length · ★ = lowest credits/s among listed rows (★ = lowest-credit Omni picks for 480p / 720p / 1080p; VIP rows show priority-queue pricing) · Face ✗ = stricter moderation on direct renderer · ¹ Preview (non-VIP): queue-controlled resolution (~720p typical), not a fixed output size

Face & identity note
The Seedance 2 (direct) renderer applies stricter moderation — face-heavy prompts are more likely to be rejected. For portraits, characters, and lip-sync: use Seedance 2 Pro (Omni) (image + audio refs) or Seedance 2 Max. Always supply a clear frontal or three-quarter still as a reference image — do not rely on text alone for identity.

Reference tagging
Tag exactly what you upload: @image1 for the first image, @video1 for the first video, @audio1 for audio. Numbering must match — a mismatch rejects the run.
Faces
Front-on or ¾ reference still, natural or studio lighting, stable medium shot. Add lens language (50mm, shallow DOF) to reduce drift.
Hands & props
Keep props out of overlap. Short clips (4–6 s) are more stable. Add a second still showing the prop if it matters.
Motion
Write direction verbs (walks left, pans right) not just adjectives. Lock shot scale early in the prompt.
Audio lip-sync
Upload a short (≤ 15 s) clean vocal or music track + face image on an Omni line. Mention rhythm/delivery in the prompt.
Credits
Check the credit preview in Generate before running. Pro Omni + 1080p + High quality + video ref is the most expensive combo.
Final credits always follow the preview in Generate — that's the source of truth at checkout.
