A long take is a continuity bet
Seedance 2.5 exists for the shot you do not want to stitch. If the story is three rooms, merge Wan clips instead. If the story is one table and one product, pay the 8 credits once.
This page is the Pixogen-specific version of the topic. Credit numbers below match the generate button in the studio as of August 2026. If a model ships a new badge, we update the routing note here within a day — that is the newsroom rule, not a landing-page rewrite.
Credit math
8 credits per long take. Cheaper than four failed merges if continuity matters.
Credits never expire. Failed jobs refund automatically. Do not budget as if a missed render is gone. Packs start at 200 credits for $19.99; a launch week for a persona is usually cheaper than one stock-license bundle.
Pipeline on Pixogen
Product still → Seedance → optional upscale. /pipelines/product-to-video.
Internal links that belong on this job: the matching tool landing, the pipeline hub, and one glossary term. Do not leave a guide live without those three. Related reading lives in Learn and Academy, not in a footer dump.
Model routing
See /models/seedance-2-5 and /glossary/seedance.
If you are choosing an engine for the first time, open /models/compare. Portraits, motion, lipsync and photoreal each have a different default. Wan 3.0 is the motion hero as of this writing; Nano Banana 2 still wins in-image text.
Mistakes that waste credits
- Using Seedance to “fix” a bad still.
Publish checklist
- Lock identity before you batch.
- Write the credit total on the brief so the client sees the number before the job.
- Export clean — no watermark — then brand in your editor.
- Ping the changelog if this guide rode a model drop.
