Quality Modes

Choose the right balance of speed, quality, and cost for your project.

Prompt

“Make me a video where in a far-future agrarian society, a girl secretly listens to an illegal radio, intercepting state launch communications. When she picks up a routine rocket departure from a nearby site, she rides her bike across golden-hour fields with her cat, timing her arrival to the radio chatter. She slips aboard unnoticed just before launch, and the video ends with her floating quietly into the space station—an uninvited arrival that no one sees coming. anime style, 16:9, 2m long”

Max Mode

Max leverages Seedance 2 and Opus 4.6 to produce bleeding-edge videos, with consistency and quality that was previously impossible. It represents a step change in output quality from anything previously available on the platform — suitable for the most demanding needs.

Pro Mode

Pro leverages Seedance 1.5 to produce solid videos at an attractive price point. It's the sweet spot for most production work — strong character consistency, realistic motion, and reliable results without the premium cost of Max. Inconsistent motion and characters can sometimes appear as a result of limitations with the underlying models.

Fast Mode

Fast mode is good for quick iterations, using cheap models to let you experiment with ideas and test different scripts. Ideal for cost-sensitive users. Inconsistent motion and characters often appear, but that's a tradeoff for the speed and low cost. Available on the free plan.
