Seedance 2.5 AI video generator
Seedance 2.5 makes 5 or 10 second videos from 480p to 1080p, with 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, and 21:9 frames. Open the studio and check the credits below.
Best for
Seedance 2.5 is a Seedance AI video generator for drafts and finished short shots in the same place. It is the video model that includes 480p, so you can test a move cheaply and then render 720p or 1080p when the idea holds. It also offers 4:3 and 21:9, which the other video models do not all share.
Prompting tips
Use Seedance for kitchen action, golden-hour movement, product turns, and any shot you want to try at a small size first. A chef flambéing a pan, or a dancer turning on a salt flat, is the kind of single-action prompt it handles well. Describe the motion, then the camera, then the light.
How to use it
Open Video and choose Seedance 2.5. Pick a frame, 5 or 10 seconds, and a resolution. Write the prompt or attach a reference image if the shot should follow a still. Generate the 480p version, then repeat the same prompt at 1080p when the action is right.
Controls and pricing
Credits rise with resolution and length. A reference image multiplies the Seedance price by 1.5, so an image-led shot costs more than the same prompt with no image. The table shows text-to-video prices on the Free plan. Add half again when you attach a reference. For 4K, switch to Veo 3.1 or MiniMax H3 Max.
Good to know
When you are comparing takes, keep the prompt and only change the resolution. A 480p experiment and a 1080p finish should describe the same action, or you will not know whether the model or the sentence changed. Seedance is also the model to pick when the frame must be 4:3, which the other video models do not offer.
