Why Seedance 2.5 Stands Out
Every figure below is the model's actual envelope in our generator, compared with the seventeen models beside it.
Twice the ceiling of the 2.0 series — anything from 4 to 30 seconds, a second at a time, instead of stitching short clips together.
Multi-reference mode takes up to 30 images, 10 audio tracks and 10 videos in one shot — where Seedance 2.0 caps at 9, 3 and 3. Enough to hold a cast and a look across a scene.
Six aspect ratios from 21:9 down to 9:16, with the audio track generated alongside the picture rather than added after.

What You Can Build With It
The controls the generator exposes for this model.
A Whole Scene, Not a Fragment
Thirty seconds is long enough for a shot to breathe — an establishing move, a beat, a resolution — without cutting between separate generations that never quite match.
Bring Your Cast and Your Look
Feed in up to 30 reference images plus audio and video references, and keep characters, wardrobe and grade consistent across the whole clip.
Sound That Ships With the Picture
Audio is generated with the video rather than laid over it afterwards, so the clip is usable the moment it finishes.
