Key Features of Seedance 2.5

Longer clips

Generate 4–30 second videos

Create longer product demos, narrative beats, brand videos, and training clips in 720P with fewer scene breaks.

Multimodal references

Guide with up to 50 reference files

Combine up to 30 images, 10 videos, and 10 audio clips to control characters, products, motion, sound, scenes, and visual style.

Second-by-second direction

Direct every beat with timestamps

Use continuous time ranges to specify the action, camera movement, transition, and audio cue that should happen during each part of the clip.

Storyboard control

Turn multi-panel storyboards into sequences

Map numbered storyboard panels to continuous time ranges so the model understands the intended narrative order and the transition between adjacent shots.

Documentary portrait: ceramic artist

Compare skin texture, hands and fingers, wet-clay physics, natural blinking, subtle expression, and the camera move from the hands to the face.

Prompt

Translated from the original Chinese for this page language; timing, dialogue, shot directions, and negative constraints are preserved.

A 15-second ultra-realistic documentary-style portrait video, shot on a full-frame cinema camera with a 50mm lens. Natural afternoon window light, slight handheld movement, shallow depth of field, no beauty filter, and no excessive color grading.
An elderly female ceramic artist works alone in a quiet studio, making a ceramic bowl. Her silver hair is loosely tied at the back; her face has real wrinkles, her fingers are slightly dry, and clay is visible beneath her fingernails. She wears a faded linen shirt and a clay-stained apron.
[0s-6s] Close-up of her hands shaping wet clay on a pottery wheel. The clay surface is not perfectly smooth; it shows moisture and fine texture while rotating steadily. Her fingers press into the clay naturally.
[6s-11s] The camera slowly moves upward to her face. She watches the clay with quiet concentration and blinks naturally. Real skin texture, fine lines, pores, and slight facial asymmetry are visible.
[11s-15s] She pauses, gently wipes her forehead with the back of her wrist, looks back at the clay, and gives a very faint smile.
Avoid AI-like glossy skin, excessive skin smoothing, perfectly symmetrical faces, rubbery hands, incorrect fingers, and unrealistic clay physics.

Indoor volleyball action

Compare body mechanics, ball trajectory, court and net geometry, uniform consistency, and adherence to the timed sequence.

A 15-second ultra-realistic indoor women’s volleyball match video, styled between a sports broadcast and a cinematic commercial. Wooden floor, clear court lines, bright gym lighting, realistic ball speed, and realistic human movement.
A women’s volleyball team in blue uniforms completes a serve-receive attacking sequence. Keep the uniform colors, court layout, and number of people consistent.
[0s-4s] Wide shot from behind the receiving team. An opposing player performs a jump serve, and the volleyball travels quickly over the net.
[4s-8s] The blue team’s libero dives forward to receive the ball, sliding naturally across the wooden floor and making an accurate forearm pass. The volleyball rises in a clear arc.
[8s-12s] The setter runs beneath the ball and performs a standard overhead set with both hands. The camera tracks her laterally while her teammates begin fast attacking runs.
[12s-15s] The outside hitter begins her approach and jumps, drawing her arm back to spike. The shot slows slightly at takeoff and ends at the highest point just before the spike.
Maintain a correct volleyball court, realistic human biomechanics, an accurate ball trajectory, and stable uniforms. Do not add extra arms, do not let the ball float, and do not deform the net or court lines.

Portuguese dialogue in a Lisbon bakery

Compare Portuguese pronunciation, lip sync, subtitle accuracy, natural expressions, character continuity, and the warm handheld documentary look.

Prompt

Translated from the original Chinese for this page language; timing, dialogue, shot directions, and negative constraints are preserved.

A realistic 15-second dialogue scene set in a small family bakery in Lisbon, Portugal, in the morning. Warm sunlight, natural handheld camerawork, realistic expressions, and accurate lip sync. The dialogue is in Portuguese, the voices are clear, and the background music must not overpower the speech.
Two characters:
Ana, a young Portuguese baker wearing a flour-dusted apron.
Her grandfather, an elderly man sitting by the window and drinking coffee.
[0s-6s] Ana takes fresh bread from the oven, smiles, and says in Portuguese: “Avô, o pão ficou perfeito hoje.”
The subtitles must display exactly: “Avô, o pão ficou perfeito hoje.”
[6s-12s] Her grandfather looks at the bread, chuckles softly, and replies in Portuguese: “Perfeito? Ainda falta um pouco de paciência.”
The subtitles must display exactly: “Perfeito? Ainda falta um pouco de paciência.”
[12s-15s] Ana puts the bread on the table and looks thoughtfully at her grandfather. The camera holds on the warm morning light between them.
Keep the Portuguese pronunciation natural, phrasing clear, and lip sync accurate. No garbled subtitles, no misspellings, and no mismatch between the dialogue and subtitles.

How to Use Seedance 2.5

01

Define the finished clip

Choose a 4–30 second duration, aspect ratio, subject, setting, and the single outcome the video needs to communicate.

02

Assign every reference a role

Upload the images, videos, or audio that should guide the scene, then state whether each asset controls identity, environment, motion, camera, style, voice, or rhythm.

03

Build the timeline and generate

Divide the prompt into continuous timed shot blocks, map any storyboard panels to those ranges, add continuity and negative instructions, then generate the 720P result.
