Seedance 2.5: shots of up to 30 seconds
Seedance 2.5 is the newer ByteDance video model. It doubles the length of Seedance 2.0, takes many more references and can also change something in a take or make it longer — useful when a music video needs a shot that holds.

Inside your music video
Whatever you make goes into the project with your takes, and the automatic edit can use it.
When Seedance 2.5 is the right choice
- A shot that has to hold. An intro, a slow chorus or an outro where a 5-second clip feels cut short.
- A take that almost works. The performance is good but the background, the light or one detail isn’t: edit it instead of shooting again.
- A shot that ends too soon. Extend it a few seconds to reach the next section of the song.
- Consistency across many shots. With up to 30 reference images you can keep the artist and the location the same.
