Seedance 2.5
ByteDance's latest Seedance generation, running here at 480p so the flagship model stays affordable per second. It keeps the things Seedance is known for, native synchronized audio, strong physical motion, and dialogue that lands on the beat, and adds first-and-last-frame control for scripted transitions. Reach for it when you want Seedance 2 direction quality on a clip where the extra sharpness of a 720p render would not change the edit.
