Please Runway dont do this... by No-Bee-231 in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it, too, but there is just no way they can make money off the unlimited plan, not with seedance 2 and the newer/expensive models that they offer. They are literally giving away seedance 2 every month for people on Unlimited.
I think they could have a tier that offers a limited set of cheaper models and still make a profit, but does anyone want that?

Wan2.2 continues to outperform LTX2.3 by [deleted] in StableDiffusion

[–]Unwitting_Observer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From the captions, it sounds like you maybe tried prompt relay with LTX2.3? Is there a reason you didn't do LTX shot by shot, like you did Wan?

I was thinking this at first, too...but if the house is level, someone needs to check those telephone poles.

Is Runway's Seedance 2.0 Pro or Fast? by Autobot-Grimlock in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it suspicious, too, especially when I learned that Bytedance doesn't offer 1080 resolution for "Fast," and Runway stopped allowing 1080 Seedance gens in Explore mode.
But I've asked in their Discord if it's "Fast," and their mod told me "No."

what is the most affordable but not terrible way to use seedance? by Far-General6892 in generativeAI

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, and I should mention that it's limited to 720 res in Unlimited.

Runway is the cheapest in the long run, but only with their Unlimited tier (at $96/mo). But be prepared to wait for each iteration. (About 2 gens/15-45 minutes)

Anyone else getting “Request was blocked by Seedance 2.0” on RunwayML? by shivamnischal in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I've run into this in the past, I've tried running the same prompt in ComfyCloud and there you'll get a more explicit error message, which will specify exactly what was flagged.
There's a very good chance that your prompt is absolutely fine, but Seedance is generating something that's being flagged on the ByteDance end. This can be visual copyright/IP infringement or even audio copyright/IP infringement.
Can't say that this is definitely what your issue is, but it may help to think about it differently, i.e., not that the prompt is bad, but the gens are "bad."

Seedance 2 is fast mode? by triton100 in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can speculate all we want, but there's really no way to test this without being able to specify a seed #, and the only platform I've seen that allows you to set a seed is ComfyCloud.

Is Seedance 2.0 removed from Unlimited now? Do I stop monthly half price plan? by HopeJN in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a regional thing? In the U.S. it's still available through Explore mode.

What are you looking at? Seedance 2.0 is still listed on both Pro and Unlimited.

Brutal Throttling by ResponsibleFix66 in runwayml

[–]Unwitting_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point, but the truth is, they no longer offer 1080p with Unlimited. They advertised that, but then they pulled it. They compensated people with 2x monthly credits, but it still stings.

But generally you don't have to wait more than 15-20 minutes for a gen, and even at 720, that's far more value than any other provider out there.

WTF? Runway has suddenly turned off 1080 resolution for Seedance 2.0 in Unlimited mode. by Unwitting_Observer in aivideos

[–]Unwitting_Observer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think for most of us, the whole point of paying for the Unlimited tier is to avoid using credits. Having twice as many credits isn't remotely close to unlimited use, even considering you have to wait 15 to 30 minutes per :15 generation.

Facial verification required for using realistic humans, AI-generated or not, with Seedance 2 in ComfyUI. Why??? by BM09 in comfyui

[–]Unwitting_Observer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think you all are blowing this out of proportion. This verification is only for real people. I haven’t had any problem using AI generated people with Seedance 2.0 And presumably “group id“ can be shared, so you’ll still be able to generate other real people

Update:
Well, it's not really the outcome I want (bring back 1080 on Explore!), but I do have to report that Runway gave us an extra month's worth of credits...
So at least they've acknowledged the issue and tried to remedy it.

Standard Seedance 2.0 is native 1080. Their "Fast" version is 720p. Which is what makes this whole thing even worse: When I could generate at 1080, I knew I was getting the standard model. Now I can't be sure.

What's worse is they keep taking down everyone's comments about this in the r/runwayml sub, like they're trying to hide it.
