What Seedance is and who makes it

Seedance is built by the Seed team at ByteDance. Even the first version could tell a multi shot story with one hero and a consistent style. ByteDance describes Seedance 2.5 as a model for stories up to 30 seconds in a single generation, with sound and picture generated together.

Seedance strengths

According to ByteDance Seed, the family stands out for these.

  • Multi shot stories with a consistent hero, style and mood
  • Smooth, stable motion including large scale action
  • Close reading of a reference video · framing, angle and film language
  • Joint audio and video generation in version 2.5
  • Editing existing video and extending a story
  • A wide style range from photorealism to illustration

What Seedance is good for

Seedance is the pick when story and editing matter inside one generation.

  • A short film or ad story with several scenes
  • A clip built from a storyboard or a reference video
  • Dynamic scenes with chases, sport or dance
  • Replacing the hero or background in an existing video

How to prompt Seedance

If you upload inputs, first give each a name and a role · who the hero is, where the action happens, which video sets the camera move. Then describe scenes in order and call each input where it is needed.

For a long clip, split the story into stages and say how each one ends. For edits, name the source video, what changes and what must stay the same. The model understands camera terms such as push in or pan.
