What Dreamina is
Dreamina is ByteDance’s AI image and video platform. It runs on dreamina.capcut.com and shares CapCut’s terms. Its main video model is Seedance 2.5 (released July 31, 2026), which comparisons rate as the best at following prompts, with clips up to 30 seconds including audio.
Pricing
Dreamina gives free daily credits (about 120 as of August 2026, depending on the account). According to the pricing page on October 30, 2026, plans are billed yearly: Basic $167.99/year (about $14/month, 40% off the first year), Standard $409.99/year, plus Advanced and Ultra for heavy users. Seedance 2.5 video costs roughly $0.08–0.10 per second depending on the plan.
Downsides

Verdict
Dreamina suits Shorts creators who want video that matches the prompt and already know the CapCut ecosystem. Compare with Kling AI (long clips, storytelling) and Google Flow (Veo) (most realistic). Finish in CapCut; if you use lots of AI inside CapCut, see CapCut Free, Pro and Ultra pricing and YouTube Shorts in CapCut.
