Why Choose Seedance 2.5?

30-Second Single-Shot Videos

Tell Longer Stories in One Take

Generate up to 30 seconds of continuous video in a single shot, including scene changes, spatial transitions, and shifts in pacing. You can also extend a sequence when your story needs more time.

Multimodal Reference Control

Keep Characters and Styles Consistent

Use up to 50 images, frames, and notes as references to guide your generation. This makes it easier to maintain the same characters, visual style, and overall continuity throughout a video.
