Seedance 1.5 AI video generator — every scene generated, not stock
You can use Seedance 1.5 online in Kineo Studio, which runs ByteDance’s Seedance 1.5 Pro: a 5-second Seedance 1.5 clip costs 5 credits (about $1.00), and a finished 60-second Seedance 1.5 video with voice, captions and music costs 35 credits (about $6.98). US$ amounts use the Creator plan’s credit price ($29.90 for 150 credits). The smallest plan that covers one 60-second Seedance 1.5 video is Starter at $12.90/month.
Starter $12.90 USD/month = 1 film of 60 s with this engine
or 2 films of 35 s
Based on the monthly credit grant, used only for this engine and duration. Other creations use the same balance.
Seedance 1.5 Pro (ByteDance) is the workhorse generative engine inside Kineo: instead of matching stock footage to your script, it generates every scene from the script itself. You still type one idea — Kineo writes the beats, prompts Seedance scene by scene, voices it, captions it and returns a finished vertical Short. 35 credits per 60-second video; the 10-credit free trial pays for one free 15-second film (Seedance 1.5), and longer Seedance films come with Starter.
New accounts in supported countries start with 10 free credits — enough for one 5-second Seedance 1.5 clip or the free 15-second film (Seedance 1.5), not for a 60-second Seedance 1.5 video. The smallest monthly plan that covers a 60-second Seedance 1.5 video is Starter ($12.90/month).

In Kineo Studio at usekineo.com/studio, which runs ByteDance’s Seedance 1.5 Pro: a 5-second Seedance 1.5 clip costs 5 credits, and a finished narrated video with voice, captions and music costs 21 credits for 35 seconds or 35 credits for 60 seconds — about $1.00, $4.19 and $6.98 at the Creator plan’s credit price ($29.90 for 150 credits). The smallest plan that covers one 60-second Seedance 1.5 video is Starter at $12.90/month. Measured time to a finished narrated Seedance 1.5 video: a median 5.9 minutes from request to MP4 (customer renders; Kineo AI Video Index, October 2026).
Yes, for one short film: every new account gets one free 15-second Seedance 1.5 film, watermarked, no card. In supported countries it comes from the 10 free credits every new account gets (the film uses 9); elsewhere it is granted as one free film, plus one free 5-second clip. A 60-second Seedance film costs 35 credits and comes with Starter ($12.90/month) or a larger plan; a plan also removes the watermark.
ByteDance Seedance 1.5 Pro (text-to-video), called scene by scene from the script Kineo writes for your topic. The badge on every video on this page is the real engine that rendered it — nothing is relabelled.
Choose by your budget and remaining credits: a complete 60-second reference film costs 35 credits with Seedance 1.5, 60 with Kling 2.5 or 100 with Veo 3.1. New accounts in supported countries receive 10 free credits, no card required. That balance does not cover a complete Seedance reference film; engine access does not guarantee enough credits for a render. Choose a paid plan with sufficient credits when you need more. Free-trial films carry a watermark; a paid plan unlocks clean downloads.
Both are ByteDance video models that Kineo turns into a finished, narrated film. Seedance 1.5 is the everyday engine: 21 credits for 35 seconds and 35 for 60, and new accounts get one free 15-second film. Seedance 2.5 is the newer, heavier model for spectacle: 88 credits for 35 seconds and 150 for 60, on paid plans only. At the Creator plan’s credit price, a 60-second film is about $6.98 on 1.5 and $29.90 on 2.5.
