Reference workflow
Reference-to-Video Workflow
Guide the Seedance 2.5 AI video studio with images, motion and prompts. Feed it references and the result stays consistent and fully controllable.
Combine three references into one shot
Stack three references — a subject, a colour palette and a setting — and Seedance 2.5 weighs all of them together into one coherent shot, not a collage.
Feed a subject, a palette and a setting
The model weighs all three references at once
Get one coherent shot — not a patchwork
Output
3 references
Three references → one coherent shot
Prompt
Blend the subject from @image1, the palette from @image2 and the setting from @image3 into one cinematic shot.
Capabilities
Seedance 2.5 AI Creation Modes
Three ways to create with the Seedance 2.5 AI engine — start from a text prompt, from a single image, or from a handful of reference images for full creative control.
Prompt
“A neon koi fish gliding through a rain-soaked Tokyo alley at night, mirror reflections, slow cinematic dolly”

Why creators choose us
Why creators choose the Seedance 2.5 AI video studio
One Seedance 2.5 AI engine that covers the whole pipeline — long single takes, flexible 480p to 1080p output, and reference controls precise enough to ship.
30-Second Single-Clip Generation
Render a full 30 seconds as one continuous take — no stitching, no seams, no patching shots together in post.
480p to 1080p Output
Choose 480p for quick iterations, 720p for everyday delivery, or 1080p when the clip has to hold up on a big screen. The studio exposes the resolutions supported by the live model.
Text-to-Video
Write the scene and the action clearly and let one prompt carry it. Describe the shot, get the shot.
Image-to-Video
Bring a single still to life while keeping the subject intact. Your character and framing stay true to the source.
Multi-Image References
Feed several reference images at once for controllable, consistent results — characters, scenes and style all held in place.
Reference-Guided Editing
Adjust a region while everything else stays consistent. Iterate freely until each take is ready to deliver.
What you can create
One model, every kind of shot
Prompt, photo or reference — Seedance 2.5 turns each into a polished, watermark-free clip. Here’s what that looks like.

Identity preserved — the subject stays exactly as shot
16:9 & 9:16 — one source, every channel
Ad-ready in minutes — no shoot, no editing timeline

Up to 30 image references — combine subject, style and setting
Identity lock — same look end to end, no drift
Style continuity — keep one art direction across cuts
From a single prompt to a finished clip — the Seedance 2.5 AI video studio keeps the workflow short so you can go from idea to motion in minutes.

Write your prompt
Describe the subject, the action, the camera move and the look you want. The more specific you are, the closer the first render lands.
2
Add references — optional
Upload an image or feed a set of reference images to lock in style, character and continuity across every shot.
3
Generate & refine
Get your clip in a single pass — then download it, or edit just one region without re-rendering the whole frame.

What people make with Seedance 2.5 AI
From a solo creator’s first upload to an agency’s daily pipeline — here’s how teams put one prompt to work.
We swapped a full shoot day for one prompt. I dropped in our hero product photo and got a 16:9 and a 9:16 master in a single pass — no watermark, good enough to ship as-is.
Mara BishopGrowth Marketer
The single take is the real thing — no stitch seams to hide. I batch a week of shorts in one afternoon now instead of living in an editing timeline.
Devin ChoYouTube Creator
I block out whole scenes before anyone picks up a camera. Reference control keeps my character consistent shot to shot — nothing else held identity this cleanly.
Lucas RennerIndie Director
One product still in, a clean showcase loop out. My listings actually move now, and the whole setup took me about ten minutes on a Tuesday night.
Priya NairE-commerce Owner
I pin a mood with a few reference images and it holds that style across every frame. First model I’ve used that actually respects an art direction instead of fighting it.
Ezra VanceArt Director
My explainer clips used to need a freelancer and a week. Now I describe the idea and get a usable visual the same day — and students watch them all the way through.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Seedance 2.5 AI — what it makes, how it works, and what you get when you start.
Seedance 2.5 is an available AI video model for turning a prompt, a starting frame, or multimodal references into a coherent shot. Choose Seedance 2.5 in the studio to generate through the live KIE connection now.
Yes — Seedance 2.5 is designed to render up to 30 seconds as a single native take, not a montage of short clips spliced together. That means motion, lighting and camera moves stay coherent from the first frame to the last, with no visible cuts or stitch seams.
The current Seedance 2.5 API tops out at 1080p, and the studio offers 480p, 720p and 1080p. It shows only what the live endpoint can actually deliver, so there is no 4K setting to pick. One note on 1080p: it comes back as HEVC (H.265) rather than H.264, which a few browsers cannot play inline — the watermark-free MP4 download works either way.
Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 reference images, plus reference video and audio. The studio applies the model-specific file and duration limits before it submits your generation.
Reference-guided editing lets you change one region of a shot — swap an outfit, fix a detail, adjust a background — without redrawing the whole frame. The surrounding context stays intact, so edits stay consistent with the rest of the video instead of looking pasted in.
Both. Start from a written prompt to describe a scene from scratch, or drop in a still and animate it while your subject, colors and composition stay true to the source. The same engine powers both modes, so you can move between them without relearning the workflow.
Your videos come out clean — nothing is stamped across your frame. You pay only for what you render, measured in credits, with no forced subscription; plans and never-expire credit packs simply unlock more generations, longer queue priority and higher limits.
Videos you generate are yours to use, including for commercial projects like ads, product clips and social content. We recommend keeping your source images and references properly licensed, and reviewing the current terms before any large-scale or branded campaign.
