Seedance 2.5 adds Draft Mode: preview at 480p before paying for full-quality renders
aziz4ai · x · 2026-09-22
Users have been burning credits fast on Seedance 2.5, re-rendering long clips at top quality whenever a single shot fails. The new Draft Mode addresses exactly that.
The workflow: generate a first pass at 480p to verify the camera, motion, timing, and character/product consistency; only if the scene works do you render the final version at full quality. Credits go toward shots you actually keep, not every attempt.
Given video generation still involves luck — great clips ruined in the last seconds, perfect camera but lost product — this is a meaningful cost-control workflow.
