Methodology

How we tested Seedance 2.0 Fast and Veo 3

We score two things separately: how good the video looks to a reviewer, and how reliably the file itself holds up. A model can make great-looking footage and still deliver clips with freezes, bad framing, or unstable motion.

We test every model with v-benchmark v2.0, our benchmark for AI video models — the same prompts, professional reviewers, and automated reliability checks behind every score here.

Reviewer scores
Scores come from each model's latest published evaluation. The side-by-side videos use the same prompts so you can compare the results directly.
File reliability
Automated checks review 122 clips for freezes, bad framing, compression problems, unstable motion, distorted geometry, exposure problems, and invalid file properties.
Missing scores
Categories with a score for only one model are shown but excluded from the head-to-head win count. Price and generation speed stay separate because they use different units.
Last updated
Reviewer scores and rankings use results from July 25, 2026. Reliability results use the latest completed test for each model. Provider prices and rankings can change.
