Seedance 2.5 turns one prompt into a 30-second 4K film.
ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 generates cinematic video from text or images — native 4K with 10-bit color, single-shot 30-second clips, synced native audio, and up to 50 multimodal references. No stitching, no upscaling fakery.

A video model that finally goes the distance
Seedance 2.5 pushes past the limits that held back earlier AI video — longer, sharper, and more controllable, with roughly 20% better prompt adherence than the previous generation.
Native 30-second clips
Generate a full 30-second shot in a single pass — no segment stitching, with natural scene changes and tempo shifts inside one clip.
Native 4K, 10-bit color
Real native 4K with 10-bit color depth — smoother gradients, cleaner grading, every frame ready for a production timeline. Not 720p upscaled.
Up to 50 references
Feed in up to 50 multimodal references — images, audio, style refs, even 3D white models — a big jump from the 12 the previous version allowed.
Text & image to video
Start from a text prompt or drive the motion from reference images. Audio is generated in sync, in the same pass as the visuals.
Edit without regenerating
Tweak a finished clip while preserving its original style — refine the result instead of rolling the dice on a full regeneration.
3D previsualization
Block out shots with a 3D white-box preview to direct camera, composition, and motion before committing to the full render.
From idea to video in three steps
No timeline, no rendering farm — just describe what you want.
