Media models (preview)
Beyond text, the catalog includes image, video, audio (text-to-speech) and embedding models. They share the same account, credits and project scoping as text models, but each modality bills on its own meter instead of input + output tokens. Current models and list prices are on the pricing page.
Media generation is rolling out in preview. Models marked Preview on the pricing page are live in testing but their list prices are not yet published. If your team wants early access at scale, tell us about your use case.
Video
Video models: seedance-2-0 (standard), seedance-2-0-mini (lighter, lower cost) and seedance-2-0-fast (faster rendering). Per-model rates are on the pricing page.
Video generation bills on video tokens, computed from the pixels and seconds you render:
video_tokens = width × height × (input seconds + output seconds) × 24 ÷ 1024
cost = video_tokens × per-1M rate for the resolution tierPer-second quick reference at list rates (16:9, no video input):
| Resolution | Approx. price / second |
|---|---|
| 480p (draft) | ~$0.07 |
| 720p · 16:9 | ~$0.15 |
| 720p · 1:1 | ~$0.085 |
| 1080p | ~$0.37 |
Worth knowing before you render:
- Aspect ratio changes the price. Cost follows actual width × height — a 1:1 clip at 720p costs ~44% less than 16:9 at the same tier.
- Auto duration bills actual seconds. With
duration: auto, you are charged for the seconds the task actually renders, not the request. - Reference video switches tiers. Adding input video moves the task to the with-input rate, and input seconds enter the formula.
- 4K is not yet available; requests above 1080p are rejected before any task is created.
- Failed tasks are not billed.
Image
Text-to-image generation runs synchronously — prompt in, image URL back. List pricing will be published at launch; the model appears on the pricing page as Preview until then.
Audio (text-to-speech)
TTS bills per character of input text rather than per token. List pricing will be published at launch.
Embeddings
Embedding models bill on input tokens only — there is no output meter. Rates are on the pricing page.
