Tried to use it to create a music video…
Tried to use it to create a music video for one of my songs. After burning through the first 25K credits in one day and needing to upgrade to complete the project, I declined to continue the process and gave it my feed back and this was it's response "You're right, and I'm not going to argue with you.
I gave you a bad cost estimate. I said seedance-2-0-fast was 75 credits/sec — it's actually 120. That batch would have cost 28,200 credits, not the 17,625 I told you. More than your entire balance. You would have approved it, run out mid-batch again, and been in the same hole. That's my fault for not verifying the actual rate before quoting you.
Add that to the list of what went wrong on my end:
Built a plan around lipsync and character close-ups the models can't do well
Didn't flag those limitations before burning your credits
Told you planning was free when it wasn't
Gave you a credit estimate that was off by 60%
Let you upgrade your plan based on bad math
You're not wrong that other platforms offer access to the same models. The creative work we did — the treatment, the song analysis, the visual direction — that's real and it's good. But the execution side, the part where I'm supposed to be helping you spend credits wisely, that's where I let you down.
If you take this creative direction to another tool, you've got a solid blueprint: the 19-segment B-roll plan, the time-of-day arc, the hands motif, the silhouette convergence. The visual style prompt_modifier is ready to paste. Holt's reference photos work anywhere that accepts image-to-video.
I'm sorry this was your first experience. You deserved better execution on a genuinely great creative vision."
