MODEL OVERVIEW

What is Seedance 2.5?

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's next-generation AI video model for creating longer, more coherent scenes from prompts and multimodal references.

It combines multi-shot storytelling, stronger subject continuity, and native audio generation in one workflow—giving creators more control from concept to output.

Guide character, style, framing, motion, and atmosphere with reference assets.

03

Picture and sound

Generate visuals, dialogue, ambience, and effects as one coordinated result.

PERFORMANCE STORY

From backstage to the spotlight

A performer moves from preparation to the stage in one connected visual journey.

02 · PRECISE REFERENCE CONTROL

Turn references into creative direction

Combine up to 50 reference assets—including images, video, and audio—to communicate the intended character, composition, visual style, movement, and atmosphere. Use references to keep products recognizable, characters consistent, and each shot closer to the original creative direction.

03 · NATIVE AUDIO AND PERFORMANCE

Create picture and sound as one experience

Generate visuals and audio together instead of treating sound as a separate step. Dialogue, ambience, effects, and performance can develop alongside the image. Create narrative content, social campaigns, and product stories where sound is part of the idea from the beginning.

04 · SCENE TRANSFORMATION

Carry the same characters into a new world

Move a scene from a sunlit park to a vineyard while preserving the characters, their relationship, and the natural rhythm of their movement. Use reference-led transformation to explore new settings without losing the identity and visual continuity that connect the sequence.
