Seedream on VisionX.
Five image variants on flat VX pricing, led by Seedream 5.0 Pro.
What Seedream is on the roster
Seedream is the core image lineup: five variants from the original 3.0 to the flagship 5.0 Pro, all priced at a flat rate per image on the core tiers regardless of which variant renders.
It is also the reference workhorse. Seedream variants accept up to 9 reference images on a single call, which makes them the default route for character sheets, product stills, and any frame that has to match a Cast.
Flagship quality at the lowest cost on the roster
Seedream 5.0 Pro is the cheapest of the top-tier image models VisionX runs, priced the same for one image or a thousand.
Reference-first
Up to 9 reference images per call. Bind a Cast member or a plate and the output stays on-model.
A variant for every stage
Probe on 4.0, produce on 5.0 Lite, master on 5.0 Pro. 4.5 and 3.0 stay available for looks that were built on them.
What Seedream actually does
Why the core image lineup is the default route rather than the cheap one.
Flat pricing regardless of variant
The core tiers charge the same per image whether the frame renders on 5.0 Pro or on an earlier variant, so choosing quality is not a budget conversation.
Flat rateReference-first by design
Seedream variants accept a deep stack of reference images on a single call, which is what makes them the default route for character sheets and any frame that has to match a Cast.
Cast consistencyA variant for every stage
Probe on 4.0, produce on 5.0 Lite, master on 5.0 Pro. 4.5 and 3.0 stay pickable for looks that were graded on them.
Draft to masterStills that become shots
An approved Seedream frame drops straight into a video generation as the opening frame, so key art and finished film share one face without a second brief.
Image-to-video handoffEvery variant, exactly as the studio runs it
These rows are read live from the engine registry and the pricing engine. What you see here is what the composer quotes.
Self-serve rates run as low as $0.085 per VX at scale. The composer quotes the exact VX for your shot, references included, before you run it.
What teams route to Seedream
Where Seedream carries the campaign.
Character sheets
Build a Cast member out from a few approved frames, then hold that identity across every downstream engine.
Product stills
Packshots and hero product frames that keep geometry and finish intact under a new light.
Key art at volume
Flat per-image pricing means exploring twenty directions costs what exploring one costs, per frame.
Storyboard frames
Boards that already look like the film, because they were rendered by the family that will shoot it.
Same Cast, same wallet, different look
Route a board line to Seedream, then run the identical shot on another family and compare takes. Identity lives in your Cast, not in any one model, so switching engines never strands the campaign.
