For a viral trend video from your photo, start with Standard (Seedance 2.0 Mini) at 720p and move up a tier only when the first result is not sharp enough. Every Seedance AI video on videosi is made by a ByteDance model you pick before you press Generate, and a 12-second clip costs 10 credits on Standard and 37 on Ultra at 720p. Try the same photo on a Tecktonik AI clip or the Zombie AI trend page to compare.
Key takeaways
- videosi offers four ByteDance tiers: Standard (Seedance 2.0 Mini), Fast (Seedance 2.0 Fast), Pro (Seedance 2.0) and Ultra (Seedance 2.5).
- A 12-second clip at 720p costs 10, 17, 20 or 37 credits, from Standard to Ultra; 1080p exists only on Pro (50) and Ultra (93).
- Shorter effects cost their share of the 12-second price, rounded up, so a 10-second Zombie AI trend clip is 9 credits on Standard.
- The format (9:16, 1:1 or 16:9) does not change the price; the tier, the resolution and the length do.
- A failed render returns its credits automatically. Credits never expire, and there are no refunds.

Which AI model should I use to make a viral trend video from my photo?
Use Standard, which runs Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p, for your first Seedance AI video on videosi. It costs 10 credits for a 12-second clip, enough to judge whether the photo and trend work together. If the face or the movement needs more finish, rerun the same photo on Fast, Pro or Ultra, all made by ByteDance.
The model matters less than people expect. The effect page already carries the movement, the framing and the look of the trend, so your choice is only about how much detail and resolution you want to pay for. A clear, front-facing photo helps every tier more than an upgrade does.
What are the four Seedance tiers on videosi?
videosi offers four ByteDance video models: Standard (Seedance 2.0 Mini, the default), Fast (Seedance 2.0 Fast), Pro (Seedance 2.0) and Ultra (Seedance 2.5). You choose a tier, a resolution and a format before each render, and the tier sets the price and the top resolution you can pick.
ByteDance describes Seedance 2.0 on its official Seedance 2.0 page as a model that takes text, image, audio and video input and generates audio and video together. Its launch post also says the model is still far from perfect and lists detail stability and multi-subject consistency among the areas it is improving. That is why you pick your tier yourself and compare.
How many credits does each Seedance tier cost?
A 12-second video on videosi costs between 5 credits (Standard, 480p) and 93 credits (Ultra, 1080p). Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and subscriptions start at $29.90 a month.90 a month, so one 720p Standard clip is the 10-credit Single pack. Here is every price for a 12-second Seedance AI video.
| Tier | Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Seedance 2.0 Mini | 5 | 10 | Not offered |
| Fast | Seedance 2.0 Fast | 8 | 17 | Not offered |
| Pro | Seedance 2.0 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
| Ultra | Seedance 2.5 | 17 | 37 | 93 |
Standard and Fast stop at 720p. Credits never expire, and there is no free tier, so decide your tier before you buy. The full list of packs and plans is on the pricing page.
How are shorter effects priced on videosi?
A shorter effect costs its share of the 12-second price, rounded up. A 10-second effect such as the Zombie AI trend page costs 9 credits on Standard at 720p, because 10 credits times 10 over 12 is 8.3, which rounds up to 9. The same formula applies to every tier and resolution.
| Tier (720p) | 10-second effect | 12-second effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 9 | 10 |
| Fast | 15 | 17 |
| Pro | 17 | 20 |
| Ultra | 31 | 37 |
The dance effects Tecktonik AI and Keep on steppin' AI dance run 12 seconds, so they use the full price in the table above. Each effect page shows its own length before you generate.
Is Seedance 2.5 better than Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.5 is the newer model, and videosi sells it as the Ultra tier, but how much better it looks for your photo varies. ByteDance publishes no numbers that compare the two for trend clips on the pages we checked, so the safe expectation is that higher tiers usually hold detail better, and results vary.
The Seedance 2.0 vs 2.5 question is easiest to answer yourself. Render one photo on Pro and on Ultra at 720p and keep the one you like; on a 12-second clip that costs 20 and 37 credits. Do not pay for 1080p on Ultra (93 credits) until you have seen a 720p result you want to keep.
Which tier should I pick for my trend?
Pick by how much the trend asks of the picture. A full-body dance such as Keep on steppin' AI dance or Tecktonik AI shows fingers, feet and faces moving at once, so those are the clips where a step up from Standard is worth testing. A face-focused transformation such as the Zombie AI trend page often works well on Standard.
- Standard (Seedance 2.0 Mini): first drafts, many tries, tight budgets.
- Fast (Seedance 2.0 Fast): the middle step between Standard and Pro, at 17 credits for 12 seconds at 720p.
- Pro (Seedance 2.0): your keeper version, and the first tier with 1080p.
- Ultra (Seedance 2.5): the one you post to a larger audience, or a full-body dance where detail matters.
Should I choose 480p, 720p or 1080p for a trend video?
Choose 720p for most Seedance AI video posts from videosi, because it is a full-size clip for a phone screen and costs half of 1080p on Pro (20 against 50 credits). Use 480p for cheap test renders. Keep 1080p for the single clip you plan to post, and only on Pro or Ultra.
TikTok, Reels and Shorts compress what you upload, so the extra pixels matter less than a clean photo and the right tier. Resolution is the setting where people overspend. Test at 480p or 720p, then raise it once.
Is 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 best for TikTok trends?
Use 9:16 for TikTok trends, since it fills a phone screen and is what videosi starts on. Choose 1:1 for feed posts that sit in a grid and 16:9 for YouTube or a TV screen. The format does not change the credit cost on any tier, only the framing of the clip.
A tall format suits a standing dance such as Keep on steppin' AI dance, where head and feet must both fit. A wider frame leaves more of the scene around you in view. When in doubt, render 9:16 first and spend credits on other formats later.
What is the best AI model for TikTok trends on a budget?
The best budget choice is Standard at 720p, 10 credits for a 12-second clip, so the $6.99 Single pack (10 credits) makes exactly one. A $29.90 monthly plan gives 100 credits, which is ten 12-second Standard clips or two Ultra 720p clips (37 credits each).
A good split is to try a trend on Standard first. If it works, spend credits on Pro or Ultra for the final cut. The same photo can serve several trends, so a Tecktonik AI run and a Zombie AI trend run can use one upload.
What happens if a Seedance AI video render fails on videosi?
If a render fails, videosi returns the credits to your balance automatically, so a failed 37-credit Ultra job costs you nothing. There are no refunds for finished videos, so check the tier and resolution before you press Generate. Your balance and finished clips are under My creations.
A clip that finishes but does not look right is not a failure, and the credits are spent. Change the photo or the tier before you retry. Then go back to the effect page for your trend: Tecktonik AI, Zombie AI trend or Keep on steppin' AI dance, and make yours.
