Seedance 2.5 generation is live
The playground now submits directly to the seedance-2.5 task type with the confirmed modes, resolutions, reference limits, audio control, and pricing.

Create longer, reference-rich AI video with three generation modes, 480p or 720p output, and image, video, and audio inputs.

Seedance 2.5 capabilities
Seedance 2.5 keeps the proven Seedance request shape while defining a clear model, resolution, duration, reference, and pricing contract.
The Seedance 2.5 API accepts integer durations from 4 to 15 seconds, with 15 seconds as the generation cap.
Generate at 480p or 720p, with 720p as the default. Seedance 2.5 does not expose a 1080p option.
Use text_to_video, first_last_frames, or omni_reference, with the same automatic mode inference pattern.
Combine up to 12 references: up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files within the total limit.
Use the single seedance-2.5 task type without fast, mini, or less-restriction model variants.
Control audio generation in the request and combine image, video, and audio signals in omni-reference workflows.
Confirmed model contract
The live playground uses the dedicated model rates and the single Seedance 2.5 variant shown here.

From playground to API
Test the exact Seedance 2.5 modes in the playground, then reuse the same request contract in your application.
Explore prompts, the three generation modes, reference inputs, audio, ratios, duration, and resolution.
Submit directly with model seedance and task_type seedance-2.5 using the confirmed input contract.
Carry the tested mode, prompt, media URLs, resolution, duration, aspect ratio, and audio setting into your app.
Frequently asked questions
Seedance 2.5 is the next generation of the Seedance AI video model family. The confirmed PiAPI contract uses one seedance-2.5 task type with 480p and 720p output, three generation modes, multimodal references, and a duration range of 4 to 15 seconds.
Yes. The Seedance 2.5 playground is live on this page and submits generation tasks through PiAPI using the seedance-2.5 task type.
Yes. Playground requests use model seedance with task_type seedance-2.5 and the confirmed Seedance 2.5 input contract.
Seedance 2.5 supports text-to-video, first/last-frame generation, and omni-reference generation with image, video, and audio inputs. It outputs 480p or 720p video and supports an audio generation switch.
Seedance 2.5 costs $0.30 per output second at 480p and $0.60 per output second at 720p. Input video duration is billed at half the selected output rate.
Yes. Create a PiAPI task with model seedance and task_type seedance-2.5, then provide the prompt, mode, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, reference URLs, and audio setting required by your workflow.
No. Seedance 2.5 does not have a less-restriction variant, so private asset:// references are not supported in the confirmed contract.
