Draft Mode: iterate cheap, deliver in full quality
Draft Mode splits generation into a fast 480p preview and a connected 1080p final — so you only pay full price for the take you keep.
A true draft-to-final workflow
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's flagship cinematic video model — and with Draft Mode, it changes how you iterate. Generate fast, low-cost 480p drafts to lock in composition, motion, dialogue, and camera movement, then render the take you love in full 1080p from the same draft, keeping its exact look. It's a preview-first workflow that can cut the cost of nailing a shot by up to 77% and roughly double your speed.
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.
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.
