Seedance 2.5: one prompt in, a 30-second cinematic 1080p scene out
One prompt in, a finished 30-second scene out. Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's new flagship video model - continuous shots in 1080p, physically accurate light, characters that stay consistent across up to 50 references, and dialogue in 20 languages.
Seedance 2.5 thinks in scenes, not clips. Describe the shot and it delivers 30 seconds of continuous, physically believable video — consistent characters, cinematic light, real motion. ByteDance debuted it at their Singapore event with a full 12-minute short film made entirely inside it.
DOUBLE THE RUNWAY
30 seconds. One take. Zero cuts.
Most models tap out near 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 doubles it — a full 30-second continuous shot, so a character can enter, act, and land a line with no jarring cut. Longer takes, steadier pacing, and story beats that finally have room to breathe.
REAL LIGHT, REAL EMOTION
Light that behaves like light
No flat, over-saturated glow. Seedance 2.5 lights a face the way a cinematographer would — the near eye catches more than the far one, shadows fall where they should, and micro-expressions read as genuine feeling. It looks shot, not rendered.

How Seedance 2.5 works inside Picsart
Seedance 2.5 is available in Picsart's AI Playground, where you can generate with it directly and compare its output against 150+ other AI models from a single prompt — no setup or model configuration required. And you can reach Seedance 2.5 whichever way you work: on the web, in the desktop app, or built straight into your own projects via CLI, MCP, REST API, and SDK.
TOTAL CREATIVE CONTROL
50 references. Nothing drifts.
Feed Seedance 2.5 up to 50 references — images, video, and audio — and lock a character's face, wardrobe, voice, and world across an entire sequence. It's how a full short film held together shot to shot: more references, more control, zero continuity slips.
