Dreamina has extended its $1.5/month Basic plan. The author shares a cost-saving video workflow: generate Seedance 2.5 drafts at 480p, reroll until the scene is right, then upscale only the winning clip to 4K via Creative Upscale. For a 10-second clip with 5 attempts, that's roughly $4 in drafts plus $1 for the 4K upscale — about $5 total versus $9 for five 720p generations, with a better final resolution.
