Text to video
Start without source footage. Describe one subject, one action, a camera move, and the final composition. Short, focused shots make it easier to see which prompt change improves the result.
Create a video from text, images, video clips, or audio references. Choose a Seedance model and review the credit estimate before submitting.
Use the workspace above to turn a shot idea into a short video. Start with a text prompt, add images when appearance matters, or combine video and audio references to guide motion and sound. You can inspect settings before signing in; submitting a generation requires an account and enough credits.
Start without source footage. Describe one subject, one action, a camera move, and the final composition. Short, focused shots make it easier to see which prompt change improves the result.
Start from a product photo, character image, or scene. Explain what should move and which details should stay stable. Use a clear reference with the subject fully visible; generated labels, hands, and fine geometry still need review.
Use source clips to communicate movement or pacing, and audio to guide sound. Wait for uploads to finish before submitting. Reference video duration affects credit cost, so trim source clips to the part you need.
These are the options available through Cinelyo. Choose by output duration, resolution, and budget. A lower-cost draft can help you test a composition before generating another version at higher resolution. Changing models does not guarantee the same result.
| Model | Duration | Resolution | 5-second example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | 4–30s | 480p / 720p | 48 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 4–15s | 480p / 720p | 14 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 4–15s | 480p / 720p | 23 credits |
| Seedance 2.0 | 4–15s | 480p / 720p / 1080p / 4K | 28 credits |
Example costs are for one 5-second video at 480p without a reference video. Rates and rounding use the same calculation as the generator. Reference footage, output resolution, duration, and batch size change the final estimate shown before submission.
Compare credit packs and subscriptionsFor example: an unbranded glass bottle on dark stone, a slow camera orbit, warm side lighting, and a centered final frame. Add constraints such as stable bottle geometry and no on-screen text. This is a starting prompt, not a promise of an exact output.
Select a model, aspect ratio, resolution, duration, and audio option. Add only references that help the shot. Check the credit estimate and wait for all uploads to complete before pressing Generate.
Check subject consistency, motion, camera framing, and audio before downloading. If the result misses the brief, change one prompt instruction or setting and compare again. Each new generation uses credits; a successful but unwanted result is different from a failed job.
You can browse the generator, guides, and prompt examples without purchasing. Video generation consumes credits. Review the pricing page and the cost displayed for your chosen settings before submitting.
After uploads finish and the generation request is successfully submitted, the job continues in the background. Return to your account’s generation history to check its status. Keep the page open until uploading and submission are complete.
Credits for a failed generation job are returned automatically. If you see a billing or status discrepancy, contact support with the task details. Review completed outputs for visual artifacts before using them in a project.
