What Seedance 2.5 does best

Seedance 2.5 is the newest video model from ByteDance and the default model in Pray Production Studio. One generation runs up to 30 seconds, can carry many hard cuts, and comes back with dialogue, sound effects and music already in it. It takes up to 30 reference images, so a character or a place looks the same from shot to shot.

Many shots from one prompt

Write each shot with a time range, a camera move and one action, and a single 30-second generation comes back as an edited sequence. Star-Cross’d Wings has 13 hard cuts from one prompt.

Your own subject in every shot

Add a photo as a reference and tag it in the prompt. The Flying Frenchie turned one photo of a dog into a 30-second film.

A camera that keeps up

The camera tracks backward in front of a runner at full speed while rain, neon and passing headlights move around her.

Prompt

A woman sprints through heavy rain down a neon-lit city street at night, splashing through puddles. The camera tracks backward in front of her at running speed. Rain streaks through the light, her breath fogs, and a car's headlights sweep past behind her.

Prompt

Close-up of a woman looking into the camera. She smiles slightly and says, "You only get one first impression, so make it count." Soft window light, shallow depth of field, a slow push-in.
