About Longtake
Longtake is an AI video studio that allows users to generate short video clips using Seedance 2.5 models. The platform operates on a subscription model priced at €9.99 per month, with no additional markup on renders. Users pay the model provider, BytePlus, directly through their own API key at the listed rate, avoiding third-party markups. The studio organizes production workflows into projects, episodes, scenes, and takes, mirroring real production processes. Each character can be assigned a single voice sample, which is applied consistently across all scenes featuring that character. The system supports @mentions in prompts to automatically include character portraits and voice samples in requests. Renders are billed per take based on BytePlus’s token formula, with no extra fees or expiring credits. Unpaid projects are locked after one day and deleted after a week.

Frequently asked questions about Longtake
What does Longtake actually bill me for?
Longtake charges a flat monthly subscription fee for access to the studio interface. All video renders are billed directly by the model provider (e.g., BytePlus) to your own API key at the provider’s public rate card, with no additional markup.
How do I know how much a take will cost before I render it?
The studio displays the token count and estimated cost for each take before you commit, using the formula duration × width × height × 24 ÷ 1024. This lets you preview the exact provider price for your chosen resolution and length.
Can I use Longtake without setting up my own API key?
No. Longtake requires you to provide your own API key from the model provider (e.g., BytePlus) to bill renders directly. The studio does not resell or mark up renders.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Your existing projects and takes remain accessible, but new renders require an active subscription. Unpaid projects are locked after one day and deleted after a week.
Is upscaling included in the subscription, or is it billed separately?
Upscaling is billed separately by the provider (e.g., fal.ai) to your API key and is not included in the studio subscription. Prices are listed per second of output.
How does Longtake handle character voices across different scenes?
You attach a single voice sample to each character once. The voice is automatically applied to every scene where the character appears, ensuring consistency. You can also use @mentions in prompts to include the character’s portrait and voice sample.
