STORM II AI Video, Without a Subscription
Make one birthday meme or a small batch of Reels. Choose your cast, check the credit charge, and buy only the pack you need.
A STORM II AI video remakes the synchronized crowd scene from GENER8ION’s “STORM,” starring Yung Lean. The original music video used real performers. Here, one or two photos provide the identities for an AI version of that courtyard shot.

PLAN YOUR SPEND
What does a STORM II AI video actually cost?
The lowest setting costs 15 credits. The default is Seedance 2.5 at 15 seconds and 480p, costing 90 credits. The smallest purchase is a $5 trial; the default setup needs at least the Starter pack at $19. Buying credits and spending them are two separate numbers.
Seedance 2.0 Mini · 10 s · 480p
Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 480p
Trial · 20 credits · one successful video
| Settings | Videos | credits | Smallest single pack that covers them |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Mini10 s · 480p | 1 | 15 | Trial · $520 credits included |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini10 s · 480p | 10 | 150 | Starter · $19320 credits included |
| Seedance 2.515 s · 480p | 1 | 90 | Starter · $19320 credits included |
| Seedance 2.515 s · 480p | 10 | 900 | Creator · $49900 credits included |
These budgets count one successful attempt per video. A successful result you choose to remake costs another generation. The trial allows only one successful video, even if credits remain. No subscription or automatic renewal.
All 25 model, length and resolution prices
One-photo and two-photo modes cost the same. So do landscape and portrait. Preparing the cast is included in the displayed charge. Only Seedance 2.5 offers 28 seconds. MiniMax H3 uses native 768P footage, delivered at the selected 720p format.

Dollar values use Studio: $99 for 1980 credits, or $0.05 per credit. They are not individual checkout prices. Smaller packs have a higher price per credit.
Free credits, paid trials and watermark-free downloads
A free account is not a promise of a free STORM dance video. Compare your balance with the selected generation price before buying a pack.
| Option / payment | What you can use | Download watermark |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible signup gift · no purchase | Eligible new accounts can receive up to 3 credits, valid for 3 days. That is below this template’s minimum of 15 credits, so the gift alone cannot generate it. | No RoadsterVideo watermark is added to completed downloads. We do not remove marks from videos made elsewhere. |
| Trial$5 · one-time | 20 credits, valid for 365 days. First purchase only; one successful generation. Covers Mini at 480p for 10 or 15 seconds, not the default Seedance 2.5 setting. | |
| Starter$19 · one-time | 320 credits, valid for 365 days. Spend on the supported settings until the balance runs out; no automatic renewal. | |
| Creator$49 · one-time | 900 credits, valid for 365 days. Spend on the supported settings until the balance runs out; no automatic renewal. | |
| Studio$99 · one-time | 1980 credits, valid for 365 days. Spend on the supported settings until the balance runs out; no automatic renewal. |
If a job ends in Failed, its generation credits return to your balance. That is a credit refund, not a cash refund. A video marked Complete that you dislike does not automatically qualify as a failed job.
Examples of the STORM II crowd shot
These are credited seven-second excerpts from existing AI crowd remakes, not videos generated by RoadsterVideo. Each shows the standing-to-bowing passage used by this template: the same courtyard, camera movement and music segment. Generated faces, clothes and exact timing can vary.

Make your first STORM dance video in three steps
- 01
Give each photo a role
In two-photo mode, Photo 1 sets the person in the center and Photo 2 sets the identity repeated across the crowd. Swap them before generating if the roles are reversed. With one photo, the surrounding cast is invented. Clear, unobstructed faces give the model better identity information.
- 02
Choose a format and read the charge
Pick 9:16 for a vertical Reel or 16:9 for a landscape edit. Choose the model, duration and resolution, then check the credits above Generate. A 28-second run needs Seedance 2.5. The action and camera sequence are fixed; this is not a free-form prompt editor.
- 03
Review the movement, then download
The tool prepares the cast, generates the reference-guided motion and adds the original scene audio. Wait for Complete, play the result, then download the MP4. A slow progress bar does not mean the job failed. Returning to this page can resume an unfinished job.
Check the result before spending credits again
For a birthday edit or a short batch of posts, decide what needs fixing before paying for another run. More pixels can make details clearer, but they do not guarantee more accurate faces or choreography.
- Center person: check the face, hands and clothing through the full shot, not only the opening frame.
- Crowd: inspect the front and back rows separately. Small, distant faces may drift or retain details from the reference.
- Movement: watch the shared bend and rise, the still center and the camera pullback. Listen to the beat before exporting to an editor.
A completed low-resolution video is not automatically upgraded when you choose 720p or 1080p. Generating again creates a new job with a new charge. Change a poor input photo first if identity is the issue; changing resolution alone may repeat the same problem.
STORM II AI video questions
Can I make one birthday STORM II video without a subscription—and is it actually free?
Yes, you can buy credits once. Eligible new accounts can receive up to 3 credits, valid for 3 days. That is below this template’s minimum of 15 credits, so the gift alone cannot generate it. The smallest paid option is the $5 trial with 20 credits and one successful generation. It covers Mini at 480p for 10 or 15 seconds. It does not cover the default Seedance 2.5 setup.
Can I get a clean download without buying a monthly plan?
Yes. RoadsterVideo sells one-time credit packs and adds no site watermark to completed MP4 downloads. There is no separate monthly watermark-removal plan. This does not remove marks from a TikTok download or a video made by another service.
Is it worth paying for 720p or 1080p after a blurry 480p result?
Use the higher resolution when small details are the problem and the composition already works. Check the new credit charge first. If the face, hands or crowd identities are wrong, more pixels may preserve those errors. This tool generates a new video; it does not upscale the completed one for free.
What will a 15-second, 720p video with two photos cost before I click Generate?
The charges in credits are Seedance 2.0 Mini: 39; Seedance 2.0 Fast: 80; Seedance 2.0 Pro: 132; Seedance 2.5: 198; MiniMax H3: 89. Photo preparation is included. Using two photos does not double the video fee, and 9:16 and 16:9 share the same charge. Read the selected price in the tool before starting.
How many credits should I buy for ten STORM II videos?
Ten Mini videos at 10 seconds and 480p use 150 credits; the smallest single pack that covers them is Starter ($19, 320 credits). Ten default Seedance 2.5 videos at 15 seconds and 480p use 900 credits, covered by Creator ($49, 900 credits). These budgets assume one successful attempt per video and no extra remakes. The trial cannot cover a batch.
Do failed videos get credits back, and does a retry cost extra?
When the job reaches Failed, the full generation charge is refunded as credits. Starting another job makes a new charge, which can use the returned balance. A completed video you want to remake is also a new paid generation. Waiting, refreshing or resuming the same existing job does not itself create a new charge.
Can I make the crowd effect in CapCut, or should I generate it first?
This tool creates the people and crowd motion from your photos. You can then import the MP4 into CapCut to add captions, arrange clips or adjust the final edit. CapCut’s available templates vary; an editing preset is not evidence that it replaces every dancer’s identity from your photo.
