Up to ~30s in one continuous pass
Unlike stitch-heavy pipelines, Seedance 2.5 is built for a long unbroken take — scene changes included — so narrative ads and short drama beats stay temporally coherent.

What Seedance 2.5 brings to creators
Up to 50 multimodal references
Images, clips, audio, scripts and style boards can anchor the same shot (far above the ~12-file ceiling on 2.0). Carry a character, product, location and look into one generation.
Consistency-preserving local edit
Re-version a region or beat without regenerating the entire clip — critical for client revisions and product swaps.
