Seedance 2.5

Seedance 2.5 combines a 30-second boundary, higher media counts, and video-editing reference input in one strict scene contract. Automatic duration is not underestimated at the 5-second default; Kyeo preauthorizes against the 30-second maximum.

At a glance

What is this model like?

First/last-frame input and reference media are mutually exclusive, and a last frame cannot be submitted alone. Reference videos and audio clips must each be 2–30 seconds, with separate 30-second aggregate limits. True media formats and image/video geometry are verified before credits are reserved.

What it does best

Best for

Why use it on Kyeo AI
Automatic duration is preauthorized against a provable maximum output, while signed media-duration evidence enters pricing to prevent under-reservation.

Common questions

These practical questions focus on the task, input conditions, and result requirements you should confirm before choosing.

How do I use Seedance 2.5?
How much does Seedance 2.5 cost?
How is Seedance 2.5 automatic duration priced?
How much reference media can Seedance 2.5 accept?
How long can a Seedance 2.5 video be?

Selection guide

Use these decision points when choosing a model.

1
Choose 2.5 for longer output or more media

When a 15-second or 9 / 3 / 3 limit is too low, 2.5 provides a wider contract.

2
Budget for the maximum with automatic duration

When -1 lets the model choose duration, Kyeo conservatively reserves for 30 seconds, which raises the required credit balance.

3
Remove redundant references first

A higher limit does not mean every slot should be used. Fewer conflicting assets can reduce both cost and instruction ambiguity.

Practical usage insights

Practical guidance based on public sources, current on-site limits, and representative tasks.

Automatic duration cannot be priced from guesswork

Preauthorizing against the contract maximum is the only way to guarantee that the task is not under-reserved before creation.

Video editing includes input time in the cost

Reference-video duration is added to output duration, so long input clips can substantially increase preauthorization.

Capabilities

30-second output boundary

Choose an integer duration from 4–30 seconds or let the model decide automatically.

High-count multimodal references

Combine images, videos, and audio clips in a reference scene.

Output workflow controls

Choose MP4 or MOV and optionally request the final frame.

Use cases

Long storyboard previsualization

Organize a longer shot from multiple motion clips and character images.

Video style editing

Submit a short reference video and describe the intended visual change.

Continuous shot handoff

Return the final frame to prepare a first-frame input for the next clip.

Prompt tips

Write actions by time segment

Describe shots in sequence across the 30-second window to avoid contradictory simultaneous events.

Number each reference's role

State which subject, motion, or mood each image, video, and audio clip should supply.

Automatic does not mean unlimited

Design both content and budget around the 30-second output ceiling.

Why choose it

Higher limits for both output and input duration.
Combines a large number of multimodal references.
Automatic duration uses conservative preauthorization.
Output-format and final-frame controls are explicit.

What to know first

1080p is the highest output tier currently available.
Automatic duration can require a high credit balance before creation.
Kyeo applies a conservative 95 MB limit to each video.
The content-check switch does not replace human review.

Credit usage

102–4,110 credits

Without reference video, 480p, 720p, and 1080p cost 28, 63, and 114 credits per output second. With reference video, their rates are 17, 38, and 68.5 credits per second, multiplied by verified total input-video duration plus reserved output duration. Kyeo keeps the raw decimal total and rounds up only after multiplication; automatic duration is preauthorized against the 30-second output maximum, then settled against actual consumption.

Budget tip

Before batch generation, run an A/B test with the same assets across the current model and alternatives to validate quality and avoid wasting credits.
