Seedance 2.5 launches with 30-second AI video generation, richer references, and timestamp-level editing controls

Seedance 2.5 is a new video creation model focused on producing more complete creative works rather than short standalone clips. It can generate 30-second audio-video clips in one pass, extend them across multiple rounds, and use up to 30 images, 10 videos, and 10 audio clips as references.

The update reflects a broader shift in AI video from novelty generation toward production workflows with continuity, references, and editability. Stronger multimodal referencing and precise editing could make these tools more useful for creators building longer, more controlled narrative content.
