Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's latest video model: a full 30 seconds in one take, up to 50 reference files, and native audio in 10+ languages. Start with free credits.
What is Seedance 2.5?
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's video generation model, announced at the company's FORCE conference in June 2026 and available on this platform today. It renders up to 30 seconds of continuous video in a single generation, accepts up to 50 reference files across image, video, and audio, and produces native audio in 10+ languages. Unlike a sequence of short clips stitched together, one Seedance 2.5 take holds the same camera, cast, and lighting from the first frame to the last.

What's new in Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 is live on the platform. Four things changed how a shot gets made: length, direction, references, and editing. Here is what each one means in practice.
30 Seconds, One Take
Seedance 2.5 renders a full 30-second scene in a single generation. No stitching short clips together, no continuity breaks between cuts.
Timestamp-Level Direction
Write what happens at second 4, second 11, second 20. Seedance 2.5 follows the timing you specify instead of interpreting the whole prompt at once.
50 Multimodal References
Attach up to 50 images, video clips, and audio files to lock character identity, products, movement, and tone across a scene.
Region-Level Editing
When a label, face, or background needs work, select that area and describe the correction. The rest of the clip — timing, composition, audio — stays untouched.
