An AI video costs between 2.4 and 42.5 credits per second on Kinoseed, depending on the model, the resolution and Sound. On the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) a credit is $0.02, so the cheapest clip, 5 seconds on Seedance 1.5 Pro at 480p, is 12 credits ($0.24), a 5 second Seedance 1.5 Pro clip at 720p is 25 credits ($0.50), and 5 seconds of Kling 3.0 is 110 credits ($2.20). The exact price is on the Generate Video button before you press it.
Below: the price per second of every video model in the studio, what makes a clip cost more, and how far one month of the entry plan goes.

What you need
- An idea of the length you need. Most models run 4 to 10 seconds per clip; longer videos are several clips joined.
- Where it will be posted, which decides the shape and the resolution worth paying for.
- A Kinoseed account with credits. Video starts with a plan: the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) is $10 a month.
Step by step
- 1
Open the Video studio and pick a model
Seedance 1.5 Pro is selected by default and is among the cheapest. Click the Model card to switch to Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0 or the others; each one prices differently.
- 2
Set Duration and Resolution
Price grows with length on every model, and with resolution on most. Draft at the lowest Resolution and shortest Duration, then run the keeper bigger.
- 3
Decide on Sound
On models with a Sound box, sound costs extra: 5 seconds of Kling 3.0 is 110 credits silent and 160 with Sound; Seedance 1.5 Pro at 720p goes from 25 to 50. Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 include sound in every clip, so they have no Sound box.
- 4
Read the price on the button, then press Generate Video
Generate Video shows the credits for exactly what is set. A failed run is refunded automatically, so you pay for clips you get.
What makes an AI video cost more
Model first: the top of the table costs many times the bottom per second. Then resolution: Veo 3.1 for 8 seconds is 290 credits at 1080p and 600 at 4K. Then Sound: the same 8 seconds at 1080p is 600 credits with it. A start image changes nothing on most models.
Copying the moves of a video costs by the length of the reference: on Kling Motion Control in Motion Control, 5 seconds is 65 credits and 10 seconds 130.
How far a month of the entry plan goes
The $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) buys 20 five second Seedance 1.5 Pro clips at 720p, 4 five second Kling 3.0 clips, or 1 eight second Veo 3.1 clips at 1080p, silent. The bigger plans are on pricing.

Tips for better results
- Draft the idea on Seedance 1.5 Pro at its lowest Resolution, then move the prompt that works to the model you want to post.
- Trim a motion reference to the move before uploading: you pay for every second of it.
- Leave Sound off for clips you will put music under.
- 720p is enough for most phone feeds; pay for 1080p or 4K for the clip that has to look sharp on a big screen.
