Topview T1: 30s 1080p Video, 2.2 Credits/Sec

What is Topview T1?

Topview T1 is an AI video generation model from Topview AI, described on Topview's own page as the company's first video generation model. It makes clips up to 30 seconds at 1080p with native audio, from text, images or several reference files.

Topview promoted it through its @TopviewAIhq account alongside a creator contest. According to @youraigirl24, Topview "just dropped T1" with 30-second 1080p generation. @iamfakhrealam posted the same specs on November 6.

Topview AI itself is an AI video agent for marketing videos and short films, made by TOPVIEW PTE. LTD. with offices in Singapore and Los Angeles, per a Solmi review. T1 is the platform's own model, sitting next to third-party models such as Seedance 2.5.

Topview T1 release date and availability

Topview T1 is available now inside Topview. Posts dated November 6 and 7, 2026 describe it as just released, and Topview's comparison page has "Try Topview T1" links into its board and video tools.

Topview has not published a formal release note that we can point to, so the exact launch day is not confirmed.

API access is unclear. Topview's comparison page mentions "Smart Duration in supported API modes," but no T1 API pricing or docs are published. The Solmi review adds that Topview's unlimited plans work only on topview.ai, not through MCP or the API.

Topview T1 key features and specs

T1 generates 4 to 30 second clips at 720p or 1080p with text to video, image to video and multi-reference modes (where you supply images, video or audio as guides). Topview lists up to 50 references in total and native audio. These figures come from Topview's own comparison with Seedance 2.5.

Topview notes that not every option appears in every account, and reference counts depend on file type, duration and mode. Verify choices in the generator before submitting.

One creator account is worth reading with caution. Writing on Medium, Mercy_Writes says T1 added sound effects she had not requested in a 30-second sneaker commercial, and praised the soft product lighting. She also says it captured most but not all sneaker details. It is a single test, and she says she got the chance to compare the models through Topview's own pages.

Topview T1 pricing and free access

Topview publishes 2.2 credits per second for 1080p T1 output, available to all members. A 30-second 1080p clip therefore costs 66 credits at the listed rate. The dollar price depends on your plan.

Third parties have converted this to dollars. A Facebook video from a creator cites $0.22 per second for T1 against $0.585 per second for Seedance 2.5. Another Facebook post puts a 30-second 1080p T1 clip near $6.60 versus $17.55 for Seedance 2.5. These are not Topview price sheets.

Plan prices per the Solmi review, checked October 2026 on topview.ai/pricing:

The yearly Ultra plan adds 30 days of unlimited T1 and Seedance 2.5 at 720p. Monthly credits do not roll over. At 66 credits per 30-second 1080p clip, a Basic plan does not cover even one full-length clip a month, so low tiers suit short tests only.

For free access, Topview's contest post says to follow, repost and then apply for free creation credits.

Topview T1 vs Seedance 2.5

On paper the two models match: 30 seconds, 1080p, native audio, up to 50 references. Topview's own page says the gaps are price and workflow: T1 at 2.2 credits per second, Seedance 2.5 at 3.7 for normal users, plus Seedance's 480p Draft Mode.

The comparison comes from Topview, which sells both, so quality claims are unverified. Topview pitches Seedance 2.5's 480p Draft Mode for exploring a direction before a higher-resolution final. The Medium tester reports Seedance gave a smooth 360 degree product orbit but returned no sound in her run, while T1 did add audio.

How to use Topview T1 for AI video and static ads

T1 fits ad work where you need a longer single take with sound: a 30-second product spot, a story-led brand film or a Black Friday cut. Its flat 2.2 credits per second rate makes budgeting simple, but test shorter clips first since 30 seconds costs 66 credits.

Practical uses based on the listed specs:

• Product spots: T1 accepts up to 30 image references, so you can supply several product shots. The Medium tester noted not every detail held, so check labels and logos.
• Hooks and b-roll: generate 4 to 8 second clips at 720p to control cost, then regenerate winners at 1080p.
• Localization: Topview's wider platform lists lip sync in 50+ languages, though that is separate from T1.
• Audio check: review voices, effects and lip movement in the original export before publishing.

If you run multiple models, the AdGraam AI Playground lets you compare video models side by side, and Flow Builder chains image and video steps into repeatable workflows. For hook testing on the output, see the hook rate and hold rate benchmarks.

What to watch next

Watch for a Topview T1 API release with per-second dollar pricing, independent quality tests and any T1 license terms. Also note that one Facebook post refers to a "T1.1," which Topview has not described elsewhere.

The T1 Challenge closes December 6. It has three categories: Long Video, Short Video and Black Friday Ad. Topview lists $20,000 in cash plus 180,000 credits. Per its post, you follow and repost @TopviewAIhq before applying for free creation credits.

Open questions: how T1 handles product fidelity over 30 seconds, how it compares with Seedance 2.5 outside Topview's own tests, and whether the 720p unlimited offer extends beyond the yearly Ultra plan. For other recent launches, see Kling 4 Flash and Krea Video.
