One take, up to 30 seconds
Seedance 2.0 stops at 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 holds one continuous shot for up to 30, so a scene can breathe, change setting and land its ending without a hard cut. Pick any length from 4 to 30 seconds.
50 references, each with a job
Attach up to 30 images and 10 video clips. Refer to them in the prompt as @Image1, @Video1 and say what each one controls: the character, the outfit, the camera move. Reference clips can run 30 seconds combined.
Sound made with the picture
Dialogue, narration, ambience and effects are generated in the same pass as the video, not added afterwards. Audio costs nothing extra on Seedance 2.5, and you can switch it off when you plan to score the clip yourself.

Seedance 2.5 questions
What is Seedance 2.5?
Seedance 2.5 is an AI video model from ByteDance that generates 30-second clips with native audio and strong reference control. It is available to generate on PicX Studio now.
What does '30-second native output' mean?
Seedance 2.5 produces a full 30-second shot in a single clip, with audio generated together with the visuals rather than added afterward. On PicX Studio you can pick any length from 4 to 30 seconds.
What are the 50 multimodal references?
Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 reference images and 10 reference videos to guide characters, style and camera direction. Refer to them in your prompt as @Image1, @Video1, and so on.
Does Seedance 2.5 generate audio?
Yes. Native audio-with-video is one of Seedance 2.5's headline capabilities: dialogue, ambience and effects are produced alongside the visuals in a single pass, at no extra cost.
How is Seedance 2.5 different from Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.5 doubles the maximum single-clip length to 30 seconds and takes up to 50 references instead of 9 images. Both can generate audio. Seedance 2.0 goes up to 15 seconds but reaches 4K, while 2.5 runs at 480p, 720p or 1080p.
Can I use Seedance 2.5 on PicX Studio right now?
Yes. Select Seedance 2.5 in the video model picker, or use the button on this page to open the generator with Seedance 2.5 already selected.
What can I build with Seedance 2.5?
The model is aimed at ads and campaign assets, product demos, explainers, story previsualization, longer social scenes, and on-brand character continuity.
What aspect ratios and durations does it support?
In the PicX Studio generator, Seedance 2.5 makes landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) videos for text and reference generations, with clip lengths from 4 to 30 seconds. Image-to-video takes its aspect ratio from the source image.
How much does Seedance 2.5 cost?
Seedance 2.5 costs 70 credits per second at 480p, 160 credits per second at 720p and 400 credits per second at 1080p. Audio is included at no extra cost. A 10-second 720p clip is 1,600 credits; a 30-second 1080p take is 12,000.
Is Seedance 2.5 free?
No. Your first image on PicX Studio is free after you sign up, but video models, Seedance 2.5 included, need a plan or a one-time credit pack. Credits never expire and work on every model, so you can draft on the cheaper Seedance 2.0 Mini and save 2.5 for the final take.
How do I create a 30-second video with Seedance 2.5?
Plan one 30-second beat rather than many short cuts. Describe the setting, the motion and the audio you expect in one tight brief, and use timestamps (0:00–0:06, 0:06–0:12) when the scene has stages. Attach reference assets so the model can lock characters and style, then choose an aspect ratio and resolution for your destination: vertical for short-form feeds, landscape for hero placements. Generate a first pass at 480p, compare variations, and tighten the prompt until the take lands. Then set the length to 30 seconds and render the final at 720p or 1080p.
How can social media creators use Seedance 2.5?
For creators shipping Reels, TikToks and Shorts, a 30-second scene with native audio maps onto a single post. Vertical framing, consistent characters across a series and sound from the start cut the editing between idea and upload. Draft hooks at 480p to keep credit spend low, then rerun the winning concept at 720p or 1080p for the final upload. If a post only needs 10 seconds, Seedance 2.0 Fast or Mini will do it for less.
How can marketers and brands use Seedance 2.5?
Marketing teams care about on-brand consistency and turnaround. Seedance 2.5 suits campaign cutdowns, product films and launch teasers, where reusing the same reference assets keeps palettes, logos and characters stable across a set of clips. Brands running paid social can storyboard a concept, generate variants for A/B tests and keep the message coherent. When a shot needs 4K more than length, switch that shot to Seedance 2.0. Commercial use is included on every plan.
How does Seedance 2.5 compare to Veo, Kling and Runway?
The AI video field includes Google Veo, Kling and Runway, each with its own take on length, motion and audio. Seedance 2.5's distinguishing point is a long single clip paired with native audio and a deep reference budget. Rather than juggling separate subscriptions, PicX Studio puts Seedance next to Kling, Grok Imagine, MiniMax and the image models on one credit balance, so you can try the same brief on two models and keep the better take.
What does a 30-second Seedance 2.5 video cost at each resolution?
Video is billed per second of output, so a short clip costs a fraction of a long one. Seedance 2.5 costs 70 credits per second at 480p, 160 at 720p and 400 at 1080p, with audio included at no extra cost. A 4-second 480p draft is 280 credits, a 30-second 480p take is 2,100, a full 30-second 720p take is 4,800 and a 30-second 1080p take is 12,000. The Seedance 2.0 tiers are cheaper per second and add 4K when resolution matters more than length. Credits never expire.
