Test six Black Friday openers on Wan, then finish one on Seedance
Draft six Black Friday hooks as 5-second Wan 3.0 480p clips for $1.875, pick one, and finish it on Seedance 2.5 720p for $4.62. Total $6.70 with captions.
Generate six different first seconds as cheap Wan 3.0 480p drafts ($0.3125 each, $1.875 total), choose the strongest, then regenerate only that idea on Seedance 2.5 at 720p for 8 seconds ($4.6224). With one $0.20 caption job the whole test is $6.70.
Six openers worth testing
Change only the first two seconds between drafts. Keep the product, the offer line and the ratio identical so the comparison stays honest.
- Price first: the sale number on screen before any motion
- Product in hand: the object arrives into frame
- Problem first: the gift mistake it solves
- Countdown: the days to Nov 27
- Unboxing: lid opening on the product
- Contrast: the old way against the new one

Run each draft past a few people for a day and compare how many keep watching past the offer. Sume does not read your ad platform results, so the choice is yours; the cheap drafts just make the choice affordable.
Black Friday timing
Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 54 days away. A test started in the first week of November leaves three weeks to re-roll.
