Hailuo or Seedance?
Is it one face doing one big thing, or a scene that cuts?
The short answer
MiniMax
Hailuo
Hailuo for a reaction people stop scrolling for: a laugh, a gasp, a slow turn to camera, with a dramatic camera move named in plain words.
Emotion on the face
Tears, grins and double-takes that read at phone size.
Director's camera
Whip pans, orbits and zooms named in plain words.
Anime and stylised
Clean line work and colour that stays put while moving.
ByteDance
Seedance
Seedance for a sequence: several shots of the same people that already cut together, so the edit is done when it arrives.
Several shots, one scene
Wide, medium and close in a single generation, already edited.
Social-first framing
Vertical by instinct, with hooks that land in the first second.
Style on demand
Anime, clay, film grain or glossy commercial, held steady.
The next question
Either way the price is quoted before the render runs, and a render that fails is never charged for. If you would rather not choose, the studio picks for you on every ordinary render — this page is for when you would.
