What is Seedance 2.5?
Seedance 2.5 is the latest audiovisual generation model in the Seedance video model family. It can generate a complete video up to 30 seconds long in one pass and supports up to 50 reference materials, including text, images, audio, video and 3D white models. It also supports precise local edits without regenerating the entire video, making AI video creation more coherent, more controllable and closer to a ready-to-use finished result.

30 coherent seconds in one generation
Generate a continuous clip of up to 30 seconds in one pass—one shot, one prompt, no stitching. It gives story beats, product demonstrations, and cinematic moments room to develop.

Output
**Prompt:**Create a premium 30-second cinematic 3D sequence in a refined steampunk miniature style, filmed as one continuous orbiting and penetrating move. Travel from a macro brass clock through meshing gears to an ornithopter above a canyon of antique books, then through a zoetrope into a brass cable car, a clockwork ship on dark-blue glass waves, and lantern-bearing explorers beneath a glowing moon. Spiral back to the monumental clock face and reveal the logo from @Image1 in the final second. Use photoreal mechanical textures, rich brass and gold, shallow depth of field, and seamless transitions.
03 / 06
Richer reference inputs
Use up to 50 multimodal references in one generation, including images, videos, and audio. Define characters, products, motion, style, and sound before the prompt is interpreted.

Output
**Prompt:**Create a bright, colorful commercial for four fruit-biscuit flavors. Use @Image1 for the strawberry product, @Video1 for the opening composition, @Video2 for product motion and close-ups, @Video3 for a slow-motion biscuit break with filling, crumbs, and juice bursting out, @Video4 for the rhythmic horizontal array, @Video5 for kinetic typography, and @Video6 for the final outward product burst. Keep the geometry ordered, the pacing energetic, and the finish youthful, premium, and shareable.

Second-by-second visual control
Direct pacing, camera language, and subtle emotional changes with precision. Seedance 2.5 preserves scene structure while you control tone, movement, rhythm, and visual style throughout the clip.

Output
**Prompt:**Create a polished 3D animated commercial with the horned desert lizard from @Image1. Time the story precisely: heat exhaustion at 0–3s, discovery of a chilled grapefruit at 3–6s, a comic embrace at 6–8s, an explosive grapefruit-juice flood at 8–16s, survival on a grapefruit “life ring” at 16–20s, a clean white brand card at 20–23s, and a playful vacation payoff at 23–29s. Use bright translucent fruit, refreshing liquid detail, soft natural light, macro depth of field, and expressive comic acting.
05 / 06
Deep, controlled editing
Keep the strongest parts of a generated scene and refine only what needs changing—replace wardrobe, repair an object, or redesign the environment without starting over.

**Prompt:**Video edit: remove every person in @Video1 except the main subject.

Expanded multilingual presentation
Build a continuous sequence in which languages, letterforms, and locations transition naturally—ideal for global campaigns, localized explainers, and multilingual brand stories.

**Prompt:**Create a continuous 30-second first-person FPV drone shot with no edits, jumps, or transitions. Descend from clouds through mist, valleys, waterfalls, a lake, flower fields, city architecture, and finally a low plaza. Use @Images1–11 to form eleven clean, non-overlapping language zones in sequence: Chinese, English, Spanish, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Arabic, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean greetings. Maintain golden sunrise backlight, realistic volumetric atmosphere, natural motion blur, and a smooth acceleration followed by a stable low hover.
