One continuous four-second studio shot of an unbranded cobalt-blue ceramic cup on pale limestone. A thin ribbon of steam rises while soft morning window light moves across the glaze. Keep the camera locked, the cup still, and its silhouette consistent. End on the same clean composition. No text, logos, people, camera cuts, or extra objects. Soft room tone only, no speech or music.
Seedance 2.5 is a video workspace on this independent site. Start with a written scene, guide a subject with an image, or give multiple references distinct roles. Visit Seedance 2.0 Mini for the original Mini workflow.
Build one understandable shot before adding complexity. Decide what remains fixed, what moves, and how the shot ends. Use the recipes below to turn that decision into a short, testable brief.
Choose the path that matches your material. Only upload files you have permission to use, and inspect the displayed file checks before proceeding.
| Input | Prepare | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Text | A complete scene, action, camera, and ending. | One clear motion rather than conflicting instructions. |
| Image | Your own subject or composition reference. | Describe what to preserve and what may move in the supplied image. |
| Mixed references | Images for appearance, videos for movement, and optional audio references. | Match each ordered marker to its file and explain that reference's role. |
Set the delivery format before refining the prompt. Seedance 2.5 keeps input-video length separate from the length you want to generate.
| Setting | Available choices | How to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Output size | 480p, 720p, or 1080p | Start smaller to examine motion; choose more pixels when the intended framing requires them. |
| Output length | 4–30 whole seconds | Allow time for the action and a settled ending. This is the generated clip's duration. |
| Aspect ratio | The choices shown for your mode | Choose framing that suits the subject. Text and reference modes have different options. |
| Reference video | 2–15 seconds in total | File metadata supplies the input duration. It selects a credit tier, not the output length. |
These original Seedance 2.5 recipes are suggested and untested. Copy any recipe. Try prompt fills only the text recipe into the workspace; it never submits a task.

Separate subject stability from gentle environmental motion.
Locked-off medium shot of a single matte ceramic pitcher on a plain linen table. A soft breeze moves the curtain behind it while warm window light shifts slowly across the surface. Keep the pitcher still and its handle unchanged. End with two quiet seconds. No new objects, letters, logos, or camera movement.

Test one restrained action using a subject photo you own.
Use my uploaded subject photo as the visual reference. Preserve the person's proportions, clothing, hairstyle, and the visible room. In one continuous shot, the subject turns slightly toward the window and then becomes still. Keep the camera fixed and the background stable. Do not add accessories, extra people, readable text, or a scene transition.

Mixed references · Suggested, untested
Give each uploaded reference a distinct job.
Use @Image1 for the subject's appearance, clothing, and setting. Use @Video1 only for the slow turn and the camera's lateral movement. Keep the subject from the image throughout a single continuous shot. Follow the video's motion timing without importing its people or scenery. Finish in a stable composition with no cuts, captions, or additional subjects.

Product motion drafts. Use a text-only setup to isolate one action. Inspect the object's shape and the ending; a short brief is easier to diagnose.
Reference-led shots. In Seedance 2.5, separate appearance from motion before uploading. For a different version workflow, review the existing Seedance 2.0 controls.
Another model's workflow. Visit Seedance 1.5 Pro when its current inputs suit your task. Check the input controls and settings before preparing a brief for that model.
Seedance 2.5 uses credits per second of generated output. Resolution and the combined duration of reference videos select the rate below. Images or audio without video use the no-video column. Choose a pack from the credit plans after checking your task estimate.

|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | 8 | 12 | 56 |

FAQ
Read and copy recipes without an account. To submit, sign in, review the current quote, and make sure your credit balance covers it.
Choose Image when a still photo should guide the subject or composition. Choose Mixed references when separate files contribute appearance, motion, or sound. Assign each file a clear role and review its displayed marker before writing the prompt.
Choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p, with whole-second output lengths from four to thirty seconds. The aspect-ratio menu adapts to your mode. Keep enough space around the subject for its intended movement, and review the current quote after changing settings.
The input videos' total duration selects the tier; generated output seconds supply the multiplier. This workspace accepts 2–15 seconds of video reference. Images and audio without video use the no-video column.
The workspace Example is a real 480p, four-second result generated on this site. The three prompt cards remain suggested, untested recipes; they did not produce that clip. Open Prompt used beside the Example to read its actual text.
The homepage continues to serve the existing Mini workflow. This separate version page lets you prepare a different task without changing that entry point. Compare the input controls and the displayed quote before choosing where to work.
