caniridedanceai: Side-by-Side Duet UX for a ~10s Can I Ride Template

Description and use

A web app lets users upload two photos to receive a 10‑second side‑by‑side duet video, automatically calculating credit cost and handling failures with credit refunds.

Problem

Users need a quick, cost‑aware way to upload two photos and receive a ~10s side‑by‑side duet video, with clear credit usage and failure handling.

Outcome

Implemented a seamless, UX‑first workflow that reduces perceived wait, transparently shows credit costs, and handles failures with credit refunds, enabling a 10s side‑by‑side duet product.

Workflow

• Upload left and right photos
• Show credit cost per resolution
• User clicks Create
• Check available credits or trigger Stripe Checkout
• Pre‑debit or lock credits
• Create Seedance task via TryAllAPI
• Poll task status until succeeded or failed
• On success: store MP4 URL and display download
• On failure: restore credits and show error message

Evidence

photo L + photo R → locked duet template → debit 375 or 500 credits (or Stripe first) → Worker creates Seedance task via TryAllAPI → poll until MP4 URL → store / show → on failure: restore credits

Source

Full-body preferred for dance readability — that tip belongs near the uploader, not in a FAQ three clicks away.

Source

Pass ~10 as an explicit duration. Map left/right references consistently. Show credit cost per resolution next to Create so users are not surprised at debit time.
