What is Seedance?

Seedance is ByteDance's AI video-generation model, currently at version 2.5. It is a video model rather than a chatbot: it natively generates narrative videos with multiple cohesive shots, keeping the main subject, visual style and atmosphere consistent. Seedance 2.5 generates synchronised audio in the same pass as the visuals, supports up to around 50 references (images, video and audio) to steer lighting, camera and performance, and can produce longer clips (up to about 30 seconds) with region-level editing. It supports multilingual creation and clean 4K output. It is available through ByteDance's Dreamina (CapCut) platform. Exact capabilities and limits change over time, so confirm current details on the official website.

How Seedance works

Seedance generates video from text prompts and references. You can supply up to around 50 image, video and audio references to steer characters, lighting, camera and performance, and the model produces a multi-shot narrative clip with synchronised audio generated in the same pass. Region-level editing lets you change parts of a clip without regenerating everything, and longer clips (up to about 30 seconds) keep the subject and style consistent.
