Published· By Mishal Brands Editorial · ai-news, ai-tools
Dreamina reports Seedance 2.5 makes 30-second clips, takes up to 50 references and edits one part of a video. Here is what is new and how to try it.
Dreamina, ByteDance's AI creation studio, announced Seedance 2.5 on Oct 23, 2026 (Dreamina announcement).
What's new, as reported
- Longer clips. Dreamina says Seedance 2.5 makes clips up to 30 seconds, with stronger character consistency, so you stitch fewer short clips together.
- Up to 50 references. You can guide one clip with images, video, audio and text. ByteDance's Seed team describes the same limit (Seed blog).
- Targeted edits. You can change a specific timestamp, character or element instead of regenerating the whole clip.
Who gets it, and when
Dreamina says the rollout reaches subscriber accounts of people over 16 in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America over the coming week. The US is not on that list yet.
How to try it
- Open Dreamina and sign in.
- Check the model menu for Seedance 2.5. If you don't see it yet, Seedance 2.0 is on the free plan, per Dreamina.
- Start with one short scene and 2 or 3 reference images, then add more.
Free plan
Dreamina says free users get 120 credits a day in the US (other regions vary), shared across image and video (Dreamina pricing). Basic is $15 a month in the US.
