Doubao Multimodal video creation
Seedance 2.5
Turn a rich reference brief into a shot you can review.
Seedance 2.5 is a ByteDance video route in TokenHot's catalog with text, image, audio and video inputs and video plus audio output. Use it to explore story beats, reference-led motion and creator workflows, while keeping duration, resolution, reference handling and asynchronous job behavior explicit in the request record.
- Text + image + video + audio
- Video + audio output
- Reference-led workflow
Seedance 2.5 and filter-off routes are separate model IDs. Do not combine their pricing or controls, and do not describe a generated clip as a real customer result or benchmark.

Overview
What is Seedance 2.5?
A productive video brief separates the subject, action, camera movement, sound and final frame. Use one primary motion per test so continuity or audio problems have a diagnosable cause.
Compare against Seedance 2.0 on the same shot set when migration matters. Keep changes in input modality, duration, resolution and output behavior visible rather than inferring a capability from the version number.
Describe the shot
Write visible actions and camera movement separately, then name the intended ending frame.
Keep the source role clear
State whether an image, video or audio reference sets identity, motion, timing or sound.
Judge the take before the edit
Check continuity, subject consistency, timing and audio before assembling a sequence.
From brief to deliverable
Put Seedance 2.5 to work
Directors and creative teams
Prototype a narrative beat
Use one action and one camera move to test whether a story beat reads before expanding it into a scene.
- Tools you need
- Video generation, media storage and a player for review.
- Keep in mind
- A single result cannot establish continuity across a sequence.
View a task brief
Use the supplied a beat outline, subject details, reference media and target duration. to plan prototype a narrative beat. Return a reviewable shot and a continuity checklist., state the evidence limits and list the checks required before accepting the result. Do not claim an output or interaction was verified without direct evidence.
Product and social teams
Animate a reference asset
Use an image or short reference clip to explore controlled motion while keeping the composition and subject constraints explicit.
- Tools you need
- Reference upload, output storage and visual QA.
- Keep in mind
- References guide the request but cannot guarantee exact text, faces or geometry.
View a task brief
Use the supplied reference media, motion request, aspect ratio and delivery target. to plan animate a reference asset. Return a motion variation with pass/fail notes., state the evidence limits and list the checks required before accepting the result. Do not claim an output or interaction was verified without direct evidence.
Content and advertising teams
Plan a sound-aware short clip
Define the visual beat, spoken line or sound cue and final timing so the result can be reviewed as one audiovisual unit.
- Tools you need
- Generation queue, audio review and an editor for finishing.
- Keep in mind
- Review pronunciation, timing and rights separately from visual quality.

Return a video take with an audio-visual checklist., state the evidence limits and list the checks required before accepting the result.

Capabilities in context
Key features
| Feature | What you get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Input range | Text, image, audio and video inputs are listed | The submission reference places an image_url object and role: reference_image inside a content item. Check the selected task's media limits; first-frame and reference-image roles serve different tasks. |
| Output modes | Video and audio outputs are listed | Save the returned job ID, then use the query contract for that same route to identify completion and retrieve the result. Submission acceptance alone does not mean a video is ready. |
| Shot control | Pricing and request options may vary by duration and resolution | Keep duration, resolution, audio and reference mode with the job. A price-tier label does not establish an accepted resolution or request parameter. |
| Version identity | TokenHot model ID: doubao-seedance-2-5 | The catalog uses doubao-seedance-2-5; the linked submission reference uses doubao-seedance-2.5. Confirm the accepted request ID for your account rather than treating punctuation variants as aliases. |
| Trial workflow | The existing Seedance playground owns supported controls | Use the native workflow and API docs instead of inventing a second generation UI. |
Use the submission reference for request fields and task constraints. For integration, also confirm the matching 2.5 query endpoint, terminal states and result fields for your account. Seedance 2.5 submission and task constraints
Audience & fit
Where Seedance 2.5 fits
Creative teams prototyping stories
Use short, reviewable beats to decide which ideas deserve a larger edit.
Marketing and social teams
Bring a reference asset and destination constraint, then inspect brand identity, timing and audio before publication.
Developers building video workflows
Store model ID, references, parameters, job state and output metadata so an accepted take can be reproduced.
Cost context
Plan the cost of a useful result
Read the route's billing unit
Use the current pricing table and your account group. If a row is per million tokens, calculate each token category at its corresponding rate; do not read that number as a per-second or per-video quote. Record duration, resolution and input mode alongside returned usage and the account charge.
Budget failed takes
Reference drift or timing defects can require multiple generations. Include reruns and editorial review in the estimate.
Separate finishing work
Storage, transcoding, sound editing and rights checks remain outside the model call.
Use the current pricing table for available rates and account groups. Model IDs and prices come from TokenHot’s catalog; provider pricing and subscriptions are separate.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Seedance 2.5 best suited for?
Seedance 2.5 is suited to the input, output, and capability types listed on this page. Test production workloads before choosing it for a critical system.
How is Seedance 2.5 priced?
Pricing is shown in the pricing section above. Actual cost depends on usage volume, account group, and the request payload.
How can I call Seedance 2.5?
Use the model ID shown above with one of the supported API protocols. Code examples are provided when usage data is available.
Does Seedance 2.5 generate audio?
The TokenHot catalog lists video and audio output. Verify the returned job and endpoint parameters for the exact route before promising synchronized sound.
Can I use video or audio references?
The catalog lists all four input modalities. Confirm accepted media shape, duration and encoding in the API contract.
Is Seedance 2.5 the same as the filter-off route?
No. They are separate model IDs. Keep their controls and pricing distinct.
What makes a video prompt reviewable?
Name the subject, visible action, camera movement, sound or dialogue, duration and final frame. Keep the first test to one shot.
Which Seedance 2.5 model ID should I send?
This catalog lists doubao-seedance-2-5, while the linked submission reference uses doubao-seedance-2.5. Confirm the request ID accepted by your account and endpoint before submitting. Neither a documentation link nor a similar name proves the IDs are interchangeable.
Can I reuse a Seedance 2.0 polling parser for 2.5?
Only after verifying the 2.5 route's query endpoint, response nesting, terminal states and result fields. Preserve the submitted job ID, handle failures explicitly, and save the completed media. An unknown status or a local polling timeout is not a reason to create a second job automatically.
How do I compare Seedance API costs?
Compare the same duration, resolution, audio and reference mode using each route's actual billing unit and account rate. Reconcile usage with the account charge, then divide total billed cost by accepted clips. A model price table alone cannot establish a fixed cost for every video.
