ByteDance has launched its new video model Dreamina Seedance 2.5 and its genuinely impressive.

Use up to 50 reference files for a single clip and produce 30 seconds of continuous video in one take.

For the first 7 days it will only run on Dreamina, making this a world-first global launch.

AI video has been mostly a guessing game until now: somebody types a long paragraph and hopes the model imagines the right face, the right room, the right camera move.

In Seedance 2.5 that is changed to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips all fed in at the same time.

This way the creator can use characters, sets, shot styles and music from files they already have.

Now with the ability to use timestamps in prompts, a creator can write [0s-5s] for one action and [5s-10s] for the next and the model will use that as a shot list.
