SSS
Seedance Draft mode: answers before you generate
How do I use Seedance 2.5 Draft-style video previews?
Describe the shot and optionally attach a reference image. LlamaGen creates a 5-second 480P preview with Seedance 2.5 at 16:9, allowing you to explore ideas at a predictable per-generation credit cost.
Why generate low-resolution previews first?
480P is useful for experimenting with pacing, camera movement, framing and subject actions without committing the higher spend of a separate 720P generation.
What should I do after choosing a favorite preview?
Refine your prompt and use the main Seedance 2.5 generator to create a separate higher-quality 720P video. Each video generation produces its own result.
Where do the 11 attempts and 73% savings figures come from?
They come from a ByteDance-reported creative production use case in its September 22 announcement. They are an illustration of production strategy, not a guarantee of savings for LlamaGen users.
How many credits does one preview cost?
Each 5-second 480P preview is priced at 10,500 LlamaGen credits. Your credits are checked before submission, and each generation is billed separately.
Can free accounts generate these previews?
No. Seedance 2.5 480P previews require an active paid subscription and sufficient credits. Free accounts see an upgrade option.
