Model overview

What is Seedance 2.5?

Create 4-30-second or smart-duration videos with strict first/last-frame guidance or multimodal image, video, and audio references at up to 1080p.

Choose one Seedance 2.5 source workflow before adding media; strict frame guidance and multimodal reference arrays are mutually exclusive.

Creative capabilities

Seedance 2.5 creative capabilities

Create 4-30-second or smart-duration videos with strict first/last-frame guidance or multimodal image, video, and audio references at up to 1080p.

01

4-30 seconds or smart duration

Choose an output duration from 4 to 30 seconds, or use smart duration (-1), for flexible scene planning.

02

Up to 1080p output

Choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p. The workspace initially selects 720p.

03

Richer multimodal references

Use image, video, audio, and text direction to maintain characters, products, brand assets, visual style, motion, and sound across a sequence.

04

Strict frame guidance

Use a first frame or first plus last frames as strict endpoints. Strict frame inputs cannot be combined with multimodal reference arrays.

05

Verified reference limits

Use up to 30 images, 10 videos, and 10 audio files in multimodal mode, subject to the supported format, size, and aggregate-duration limits.

How to use Seedance 2.5

Move through shot direction, reference preparation, output settings, and result review in a clear sequence.

  1. 01

    Select Seedance 2.5

    Open the video workspace and choose the Seedance workflow.

  2. 02

    Describe the full shot

    Write the subject, action, environment, camera, light, atmosphere, and pacing.

  3. 03

    Add visual references

    Anchor identity, product details, composition, wardrobe, and scene style with useful images.

  4. 04

    Generate and refine

    Review motion, visual consistency, framing, rhythm, and storytelling before refining the next version.

Smarter reference control with Seedance 2.5

Organize either strict frame guidance or multimodal references so the model can follow characters, products, camera language, sound, and scene structure more clearly.

01

Precise multimodal understanding

Use images, videos, audio, and written direction to clarify visual identity, framing, motion, rhythm, and cinematic language.

02

Strict first and last frames

Anchor the start with one first frame and optionally the end with one last frame; a last frame requires a first frame.

03

Separate source workflows

Choose strict frames or multimodal references for each task. The current Seedance 2.5 generator does not expose a separate video-edit workflow.

04

Visible credit estimates

Review the live cost estimate and current account information before submitting each generation task.

05

Creator-focused controls

Manage supported inputs, generation settings, examples, results, and history in a visual interface.
