Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's latest video model, announced at the company's FORCE conference in June 2026 and available on this platform today. It renders up to 30 seconds of continuous video in a single generation, accepts up to 50 reference files across image, video, and audio, and produces native audio in 10+ languages. Unlike a sequence of short clips stitched together, one Seedance 2.5 take holds the same camera, cast, and lighting from the first frame to the last.
