Quality and upscale
Two separate choices. Upscaling is the cheaper way to resolution.
Quality is what the model renders. Upscale enlarges it afterwards, for much less than rendering at that size.
For 5 and 10 seconds on Seedance 2.5:
| Route | Rendered at | Delivered | 5s | 10s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p → 4K | 480p | 3840x2160 | $0.67 | $1.33 |
| 480p → 1080p | 480p | 1920x1080 | $0.56 | $1.11 |
| 480p as rendered | 480p | 480p | $0.53 | $1.04 |
| 720p → 4K | 720p | 3840x2160 | $1.32 | $2.63 |
| 720p → 1080p | 720p | 1920x1080 | $1.21 | $2.41 |
| 720p as rendered | 720p | 720p | $1.18 | $2.34 |
| 1080p → 4K | 1080p | 3840x2160 | $3.03 | $6.03 |
| 1080p as rendered | 1080p | 1080p | $2.89 | $5.74 |
A native 1080p render costs more but has no added detail, which shows on fine texture and small faces.
Upscaling is included on Standard, Pro and Max.
