Creator & Affiliate MarketingSeedance 2.5
by ByteDance
ByteDance's flagship video model — one-take clips up to 30 seconds with reference control.
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's most capable video generation model and the default video model in Zalify Canvas. It renders a single continuous take of up to 30 seconds at up to 1080p, follows detailed motion direction, and accepts free-form reference images and clips so a product, a character or a set stays consistent from shot to shot.
For e-commerce teams it is the model for hero product videos, ad creatives that need a specific product to look exactly right, and multi-shot sequences that would otherwise take a studio day. Pricing is per second of output and scales only with the resolution tier you choose.
