ByteDance Opens Seedance 2.5 API With 30-Second Single-Shot Clips and 50 Reference Inputs
ByteDance has opened API access to Seedance 2.5, its video generation model, allowing 30-second continuous single-shot clips without visible cuts.
The model accepts up to 50 reference inputs (images or clips) in one generation request, letting users lock in characters, props, or style across a longer sequence.
Seedance 2.5 supports 3D camera blockouts, a planning layer that lets users define camera moves and blocking in a rough 3D scene before the model renders the final shot.
Seedance 2.0, the prior version, has quietly been upgraded to output 4K resolution alongside the 2.5 launch.
The article notes ByteDance has not addressed the copyright question around training data, and positions Seedance 2.5 against competitors including Veo, Kling, and Runway.
