Long-form storytelling video

Seedance 2.5.

More story per generation. Build longer AI video with up to 30 seconds in a single pass, stronger multimodal reference control and more precise editing - then keep the FCKexpensive credit cost visible while you decide how far to push the next shot.

Variants & visible cost

Two resolutions. Both with the cost in frame before you commit.

Seedance 2.5 prices by the second — a 30-second render costs proportionally more than a 5-second one. FCKexpensive shows the exact credit cost and Rand value as you set the duration, so longer storytelling is a decision, not a surprise charge.

Costs shown are for 5-second renders. The live meter adjusts as you set duration (up to 30s). Purchased credits never expire.

Longer clips need more control, not just more seconds

Brief it like a production, not a slot machine.

30-second storytelling

Setup, development, turn and finish in one pass

Use the extra duration for sequences with a real arc - setup, development, transitions and a stronger ending - rather than one stretched action.

Heavy reference control

Up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips

Bring images, video and audio references into the brief so characters, motion, style, sound and scenes can be directed together instead of guessed at.

Change the moment, keep the sequence

ByteDance highlights timestamp-level control for targeted edits - alongside green-screen workflows, camera perspective changes and reference-based refinement.

Joint audio-video generation in one render

Seedance 2.5 is an audio-video joint generation model - sound and picture are created together, so a 30-second sequence arrives with its soundtrack.

Keep developing the same idea

Generate the sequence, then use multiple rounds of extension to grow a longer concept film from the clip that worked - instead of re-rolling from zero.

Duration pricing you see before you commit

A 30-second generation can replace several short attempts, but it costs more per run. The live credit meter updates when duration or settings change - the trade-off is never hidden.

Spec sheet

The numbers, plainly.

Generation length

Up to 30 seconds of audio-video in a single pass - with support for multiple rounds of extension beyond that.

Reference capacity

ByteDance states up to 30 images, 10 video clips and 10 audio clips as reference material in a single pass.

Editing

Timestamp-level control plus enhanced green-screen, camera perspective and reference-based editing.

Audio

Next-generation audio-video joint generation - sound is part of the render, not a separate pass.

Duration pricing

Cost follows the cut: the live credit meter updates when duration or other billable settings change.

Pipeline

Built by ByteDance. You see one cost: ours - live in the studio before every generation.

Where Seedance 2.5 has room to stretch

Seedance 2.5 is the right tool when…

30-second campaign films

Full campaign films and social stories with several connected shots - product films that move from macro detail to hero shot in one generation.

Character-led sequences

Character-led sequences anchored by reference material, plus music, performance and event-style scenes with consistent wardrobe and staging.

Planned camera & scene changes

Advertising concepts with deliberate camera moves and scene transitions - briefed like a production, not prompted like a slot machine.

Refinement & extension

Video refinement where a specific moment needs to change, and longer concept films built through multi-round extension.

Give the idea enough time to become a story.

Seedance 2.5 gives you longer generation, deeper references and more control. FCKexpensive keeps the credit cost in sight so you can decide when the extra seconds are worth it. 150 free credits on sign-up - purchased credits never expire.
