About Seedance 1.5 Pro
Seedance 1.5 Pro is the ByteDance Seedance model that came before Seedance 2.0, and the first in the series to generate sound together with video. In Kinoseed it works from a text prompt alone or from a start image, with an optional end frame.
Clips are 5, 8 or 10 seconds long at 480p, 720p or 1080p, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional and doubles the price. At 480p without sound it is the lowest-cost video model in the Kinoseed studio.
Seedance 1.5 Pro: prices and examplesAbout Kling 3.0
Kling 3.0 is the third major version of Kling, the video model from Kuaishou. Kinoseed runs the Pro tier, both for text-to-video and for image-to-video with an optional end frame, so you can fix the first and the last shot of a clip and let the model move between them.
Clips are 5 or 10 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional: leave it off for a silent clip, or turn it on to have the model generate audio with the picture, which costs more. When you start from an image, the clip takes its framing from that image.
