Seedance 2.5 AI Video Generator

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's newest video model and the one to reach for when a shot needs to breathe: native single-shot clips up to thirty seconds, far past where most models cut off, at 480p or 720p with audio. It works five ways. Text to video from a written shot, image to video from a starting frame, and reference to video from up to thirty pictures of a character, a set or a palette. Then two that start from your own footage: Video Edit changes a clip you upload as you describe, a new style, a new setting, a different outfit, and Video Extend carries your clip on for another 4 to 30 seconds. It sits above the older Seedance 2.0 Mini, Fast and Premium tiers, and every clip's price is shown before you spend.

Questions

What is new in Seedance 2.5?

Seedance 2.5 by ByteDance generates native single-shot clips up to 30 seconds: far longer than most models: in text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-to-video, at 480p or 720p with native audio. It is the newest Seedance on Mina Labs, above the Seedance 2.0 Mini, Fast and Premium tiers.

How long can a Seedance 2.5 clip be?

From 4 up to 30 seconds in one shot, at 480p or 720p. The exact credit price for your length and resolution shows on the Generate button before you spend.

Can Seedance 2.5 keep a character consistent?

Yes: Reference to Video takes reference images you cite in the prompt as @Image1, @Image2 and keeps the character, set and palette consistent across the clip.

What is the difference between Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.5 is the newer model: it makes one continuous shot up to 30 seconds long and adds reference to video for keeping a character consistent. Seedance 2.0 Mini, Fast and Premium are shorter and cheaper, good for testing an idea before the final render.
