# Seedance 2.5 — Try Online, Prompts & vs Kling (2026) > Try ByteDance Seedance 2.5 online in Clip Studio Video Lab. What’s new vs 2.0: 4–30s native-audio shots, prompts that work, and how it compares. Canonical page: https://clipstudio.ai/ai-video-models/seedance-2-5 ## Answer Seedance 2.5 is the Video Lab choice for longer directed shots and reference-heavy concepts. Generate up to 30 seconds from text, animate a starting image, define both ends of a transition, or guide identity and composition with up to 30 reference images while generating synchronized audio in the same pass. ## Best for Long-form ad concepts, cinematic one-takes, reference-led brand work, and scenes where sound drives action. ## Specs - Duration: 4–30 seconds - Resolution: 480p, 720p, or 1080p - Aspect ratio: Landscape, portrait, square, and ultrawide formats - Audio: Optional synchronized audio - Input support: Text prompt, Animate image, First → last, Up to 30 reference images ## Strengths - Native 4–30 second generation - Animate, first/last, and image references - Optional synchronized audio ## Considerations - 1080p costs more per second than 720p - Video and audio reference uploads are not yet exposed in the Clip Studio reference workflow ## Prompt tip For a longer shot, write the action as ordered visual beats and name each reference explicitly—for example, @Image1 for the subject and @Image2 for the product. ## Prompts that work - A 20-second one-take through a ceramic studio: wheel spin, glaze pour, kiln glow; name @Image1 as the maker and @Image2 as the finished bowl. - Night-market food stall in portrait: steam, chopping, a customer paying; synchronized sizzle and chatter for the full duration. - First frame a closed laptop, last frame a product landing page on the screen; slow push-in, keyboard clicks, optional audio on. - Reference-led brand walk: up to several stills of a shoe, a street, and a wearer; one continuous sidewalk move at 720p then 1080p. - Longer ad concept: hook, demo, and close in one 30-second directed shot rather than three separate clips. ## Official documentation - [Seedance 2.5 text-to-video documentation](https://fal.ai/models/bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video) - [Seedance 2.5 image-to-video documentation](https://fal.ai/models/bytedance/seedance-2.5/image-to-video) - [Seedance 2.5 reference-to-video documentation](https://fal.ai/models/bytedance/seedance-2.5/reference-to-video) ## FAQs ### What is Seedance 2.5?
