Engine rates
Cheaper engines for blocking.
Block the shot on Mini, then spend the good credits once you know the beat works.
| Engine | Credits / second | 10 seconds | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | 2 | 20 cr | Final takes, faces, anything you will post |
| Seedance 2.0 | 1.5 | 15 cr | Steady scenes without close faces |
| 2.0 Fast | 1 | 10 cr | Checking an action beat reads |
| 2.0 Mini | 0.5 | 5 cr | Blocking, framing, throwaway drafts |
| Seedream character sheet | 1 / image | — | Locking a face before you film it |
Custom films
Or have Z direct it.
Four films a month, seven-day turnaround, waitlist after that. You send the brief and the cast; you get the finished cut and the prompt that made it.
Questions
The ones people actually ask.
What happens if a render fails?
You are not charged. Blocked and failed jobs cost zero and the credits go straight back to your ledger — the engine bills us nothing for them, so we bill you nothing.
Can I use the films commercially?
Yes, on every paid plan. The free plan is watermarked and personal use only.
Why is the annual discount only on Starter and Creator?
Twenty percent off Pro would put the plan under what the renders cost us. Pro stays monthly so the credit allowance can stay where it is.
Do unused credits roll over?
Plan credits reset each month on Starter and Creator. Pro rolls over one month. Top-up credits never expire.
Whose face can I put in a film?
Your own, or someone who has given consent — recorded with a timestamp when you render. No public figures, and a guardian has to confirm for a child. Drake and Dad are the one exception: they are the owner's cast, approved as the default template.
