Seedance 2.5 supports video output ranging from 4 to 30 integer seconds at fixed 24fps cinematic frame rate, exporting MP4 & MOV files. It supports all mainstream aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, optimized for vertical short videos, wide-screen films and square social media ads.
Long single shots eliminate fragmented post-editing, ideal for complete commercial storytelling and continuous dramatic scenes.
Practical Prompt Template: Home Sofa Commercial Extension
Use @Video1 as base footage, keep the sofa design, color palette, lighting and camera motion identical. Seamlessly extend the clip to a cozy living room scene. A woman in off-white knit loungewear sits on the sofa, covered with cream throw blanket while reading. She gently sets a coffee mug on the side table. A cat jumps onto the sofa, then a child runs in and leans against her as she smiles softly. Night falls, floor lamp turns on, the child and cat cuddle quietly together. Camera slowly pulls back, leaving clean negative space at the end for brand logo display, total runtime 30 seconds.
Extend existing video footage forward or backward with seamless transitional frames, maintaining unbroken consistency of subjects, environments, lighting and camera movement. No frame flickering, character distortion or visual discontinuity.
Practical Prompt Template: Educational Seed Germination Clip Extension
Extend the @Video1 seed germination footage by 5 seconds. A bee flies in and lands on the flower. Camera pushes in for macro close-up of golden pollen grains covering its legs and abdomen. The bee takes flight, camera tracks it to another flower of the same species. Slow-motion shot captures pollen falling from fuzzy body and landing precisely on flower stigma to visualize pollination.
A single generation task accepts up to 50 mixed reference assets with fixed allocation rules:
Reference Images: 0–30 files, max 30MB per file, all mainstream image formats, used to lock fixed subjects (people, products, architecture, environments)
Reference Videos: 0–10 files, MP4/MOV format, max 200MB per file, each clip 2–30s, total combined video runtime ≤ 30s
Reference Audio: 0–10 files, common audio formats, max 15MB per file, each clip 2–30s, total combined audio runtime ≤ 30s
Character & product reference limits: Keep core locked subjects under 5 for maximum stability; use 6–8 clear reference shots for key assets to reduce visual drift. Style reference images can stay unconstrained for creative flexibility.
Optimal video/audio clip length: 5–10 seconds per reference clip delivers highest prompt recognition accuracy. Overly short or long media reduces frame consistency and asset matching precision.
Once media files are uploaded to your Viddo.ai asset library, the system auto-generates unique IDs: @Image1, @Video1, @Audio1.
Standard writing rule: Attach a clear usage description immediately after each referenced asset ID to lock visual binding and avoid asset misalignment.
Standard Correct Syntax Example
mmersive concept short film, use @Image1 seaside villa as scene reference to lock building architecture; slow handheld push-in camera movement, lighting shifts with natural morning daylight.
Multi-Asset Combination Example: Building Assembly Animation
Use @Image1, @Image2, @Image3, @Image4 as structural reference assets, generate full assembly animation of the house from base framework to finished build, consistent proportions and textures across all frames.
Industry-leading sound-driven visual creation workflow. Upload background music or ambient sound effects as @Audio references, the model auto-matches shot rhythm, camera cuts and color grading to audio beats, perfect for music videos, atmospheric short films and soundtrack-aligned commercials.
Retain original camera framing, movement and full clip rhythm while only modifying targeted visual regions. Four core editing workflows supported: partial repaint, subject replacement, global lighting rework, add/remove visual elements.
Lock all original camera movement and composition, swap full-video artistic styles to generate multiple commercial variants efficiently.
Prompt Template
Keep all camera timing and framing from @Video1 unchanged, sequentially switch visual styles: American gritty photorealism, Chinese ink wash animation, black-and-white vintage comic, Japanese anime. All character proportions and body forms remain identical throughout style shifts.
Rewrite full-scene light logic while preserving all objects, characters and camera paths, following real-world physical rules of light direction, falloff and ambient bounce.
Prompt Template
Rewrite harsh midday overhead lighting from @Image1 reference footage into soft sunset side backlight, add natural ambient diffuse reflection, realistic layered skin shading for human subjects.

Delete unwanted objects from footage, AI auto-generates matching native environment texture without blurring, flickering or cross-frame visual inconsistency.
Prompt Template
Remove the drone and edge tracking vehicle in the bottom-left frame, fill empty space naturally with matching savanna, tree branches and golden sunset backlight. Keep giraffes, distant landscape, sunset rim light and original camera composition fully intact. No distortion or unnatural visual artifacts after filling.
Lock scenes, lighting and camera paths, only adjust facial features, age progression and emotional micro-expressions to render subtle tears, smiles and restrained emotional shifts.
Prompt Template
Preserve all camera framing, lighting and performance timing from @Video1. Gradually age the female lead from her 20s to 60s; shift her reserved sad emotion into gentle warmth, tears roll down eye corners, she slowly lifts the corners of her mouth and reveals a relieved smile through soft tears.
Seedance 2.5 moves beyond simple filter-based lighting to fully simulate real-world light physics: directional falloff, surface bounce, contact shadows and environmental reflection layers.
Transparent, lifelike eye highlights without artificial plastic texture
Layered contact shadows, environmental bounce light and reflective surface rendering
Consistent light logic for outdoor sunrise/sunset, indoor floor lamp and studio softbox scenes
Execute full cinematic camera instructions with zero jitter, frame loss or shot drift during movement:
