30 Second Videos in a Single Generation
Seedance 2.5 can generate up to 30 seconds of continuous video in a single generation. This can be extended by creating multiple back-to-back videos, each up to one minute and 30 seconds long, with multiple camera cuts or scene transitions added to each individual segment. This allows you to create entire commercials or short stories from a single prompt.
Native 4K, 10-Bit Colour
Create truly cinematic masterpieces. The SeeDance 2.5 AI video generator supports native 4K output at a 10-bit colour depth, enabling smoother gradients and providing more headroom for professional colour grading. If you want to push and pull the footage after generation, you can.
Even Better Prompt Adherence Than Before
ByteDance reports roughly 20% better prompt adherence than SeeDance 2.0, meaning the shot you describe is more likely to be the shot you get.
50 References
You can add up to 50 reference files to your prompt. You can now add up to 30 images, 10 video clips and 10 audio clips, compared to 12 in the previous version.
