Pav bhaji at midnight
He presses the iron masher down and smashes the melting block of butter into the bubbling bhaji with fast, hard strokes; the butter spreads and sizzles, steam bursts up into the bulbs; a customer's hand at the left holds out a steel plate. Close handheld camera, slow push-in, slight shake. Sound: loud sizzle, iron clanging on the tawa, crowd chatter, distant traffic. No music.

Four on a scooter
The family rides through the monsoon downpour alongside the camera; the father keeps the tower of red plastic stools perfectly balanced on his shoulder without looking, the boy hugs the goose, which honks and flaps one wing, and the boy shushes it; headlights streak past on the wet road. Camera tracks alongside at the same speed with a gentle bob. One continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: heavy rain, scooter engines, a goose honking, horns. No text, no logos, no labels, nothing printed anywhere.

Çay
Holding eye contact with the camera, the cat slowly pushes the tulip glass of tea along the marble sill with one paw until it tips over the edge and falls out of frame; the man's hand grabs at it a moment too late. The cat keeps staring at the lens, then calmly pushes the sugar cube off the edge too. Static camera. One continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: a ferry horn far away, the glass shattering below, an old man groaning. No text, no logos, no labels, nothing printed anywhere.

Oi
The gull snatches the chip right out of the man's fingers an inch from his mouth and wheels away over the sea; he freezes with his mouth still open, then turns and shouts after it, shaking his fist. Handheld camera. Sound: wind, gulls screaming, the man shouting 'Oi!', waves.

KOLO, shot 2
Her thumbs pump the plunger and a thick stream of espresso with golden crema pours into the clear cup, the crema swirling. Close, static. Sound: pump clicks, espresso dripping.

KOLO, shot 1
She talks fast and excited to the camera: "Okay. Night shift survival kit. This is a tiny espresso maker and you literally just pump it." She pumps the plunger a few times with her thumb and laughs. Handheld selfie wobble. Sound: room tone and her voice only. No music.

Gol
The goal goes in: she screams and leaps up, beer foam flying out of her glass, and grabs the stranger next to her in a hug; the whole bar erupts and the old man throws his cap in the air. Handheld camera jostled by the crowd. Sound: a huge roar, her scream of 'GOOOL', glasses clinking, a TV commentator yelling.

Northbound, shot 5
The violet light pulses brighter on her face; her eyes widen and her breath catches; the light cuts out and she is in darkness for a beat, then it flares again. Static camera. Sound: a deep hum rising, her breath.

MIRRA, shot 2
She turns her head slowly from profile into the hard key light and opens her eyes to the lens with a calm, knowing look; the silk collar shifts. Static camera. Sound: low sub bass, a breath.

- A 5-second 720p clip without sound costs $0.175 at the default settings. By length, resolution and sound, a run costs $0.0875 to $1.60. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.

- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as bytedance/seedance-1.5-pro, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need a ByteDance account?
- No. Leap sends your request to ByteDance's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Seedance 1.5 Pro and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
Your idea, Seedance 1.5 Pro.
Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.
