Quality tiers in VideoGen
- Low
The fastest and most affordable tier, built for drafts and quick iteration.
- Standard
The balanced default: good quality video clips at an everyday cost.
- High
Premium quality video clips for the content you publish.
- Max
MAX always integrates the state of the art. Seedance 2.5 is part of that set.
Every quality tier routes each request to the best model based on our internal evals, compliance requirements, and your intent. Requests stay fully compliant at every tier: sensitive data is never routed to models hosted by foreign adversaries such as China.
