Veo 3.1 vs Seedance 2.0, on one prompt.
We gave both models the same photo and the same prompt. Below are both clips, what each one did, what each cost, and the specs side by side. Veo 3.1 was the busier take: a candle flared into fire and smoke halfway through, which the prompt did not ask for. Seedance 2.0 held the frame almost still. In the text test both tilted the camera up as asked, and Seedance's kite ended small and far away.
