Longer narrative beats
Use up to 30 seconds for setup, development, and payoff in one coherent clip instead of assembling a story from disconnected generations.
A flexible reference-to-video workspace for 4–30 second scenes with images, video, audio, multiple aspect ratios, and native sound workflows.
Creative workspace
Seedance 2.5 is the long-form tier: it animates a single still into one continuous clip of up to 30 seconds at 720p. Because the whole thing is generated as one piece, the motion does not drift or jump the way stitched short clips do.
How the people who built the model describe it:
“Dreamina Seedance 2.5 animates a single still into a native 30-second clip at up to 720p, extending one frame into continuous, coherent motion without the drift or stitching of shorter multi-clip workflows.”
These are the jobs people actually bring to Seedance 2.5, and the settings each one needs.
Use up to 30 seconds for setup, development, and payoff in one coherent clip instead of assembling a story from disconnected generations.
Assign different references to character appearance, locations, choreography, camera motion, transitions, and sound so each source has a clear job.
Create social stories, product narratives, explainers, and campaign films with stable characters, lighting, and scene logic across multiple shots.
Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 puts the handful of controls that change the result most in front of you, and keeps the rest out of the way.
01
Generate a complete short scene in one pass, with enough time for an opening, action, reaction, and resolution while visual context carries from shot to shot.
02
Improved shot-to-shot logic keeps character appearance, scene lighting, and visual style more stable through camera changes and transitions.
03
Combine text with image, video, and audio references to direct identity, composition, motion, camera language, transition rhythm, and sound in the same brief.
04
Use context-aware sound effects and background music, or guide timing with an uploaded track, so audio supports the scene rather than feeling attached afterward.
05
Choose landscape, portrait, square, or cinematic framing and deliver at up to 1080P, with multilingual lip-sync and localized on-screen text for global publishing workflows.

Narrative control
Seedance 2.5 prioritizes longer multi-shot continuity · Seedance 2.0 is tuned for shorter generation loops
Choose based on the job
Choose 2.5 for narrative length and richer references; choose 2.0 when a shorter clip or 4K ceiling matters more
Write the idea and add any source or reference material the tool needs.
Choose the model, format, resolution, and duration that match delivery.
Review the complete draft in the shared conversation flow. Generation will be enabled when the model API is connected.
Compare output length, resolution, references, aspect ratios, and audio support before choosing a model for your next video.
