01Longer stories

Give the whole scene room to unfold

Build a scene up to 30 seconds long, with time for an entrance, an action, and a closing shot. Describe the camera path and key moments so the sequence has a clear direction.

Draft at 480p or 720p, then choose Seedance 2.5 1080p for a more detailed output. The tool shows the credit cost for each setting.

02Generated audio

04Edit & extend

Build on a shot you already have

Bring a source clip into the reference workflow and describe what should change or continue. For Seedance 2.5 video editing, say what to keep as clearly as what to change. Edit and extend operations follow the source aspect ratio.

Use 480p for a quick preview, 720p for a draft, or Seedance 2.5 1080p for more detail. 4K is not available for this model.

Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9. First/last-frame tasks use adaptive ratio. Edit and extend also use adaptive ratio and follow the source clip.

Reference images, motion video, and audio

More files only help when each one has a job.

  • Images guide the character, wardrobe, product, or lighting. Add up to 30 JPEG, PNG, or WebP files, each under 30MB with edges of 300–6000px.
  • Reference video guides the camera or performance. Add up to 10 MP4 or MOV clips, 2–30 seconds each, with 30 seconds combined and up to 200MB per file.
  • Audio references guide the voice, music, or ambience. Add up to 10 WAV or MP3 files, 2–30 seconds each, with 30 seconds combined.

In the prompt, name the file: keep @image1's face, follow @video1's camera, play @audio1 as the bed.

For photos with real faces, use the asset upload flow before adding them as references.

Choose first/last-frame mode for your starting and ending images, or reference mode for a mix of supporting files.

Low-contrast or tiny face crops drift by later shots. Use a sharp, front-lit still if identity has to survive 20–30 seconds.
