Create a new five-second vertical drama teaser inspired by the selected film. At an elegant estate dinner, an adult heir calmly sets down a glass as two relatives exchange a tense glance. Use warm evening light, one restrained camera move and believable performances. No captions or interface. Explore this new scene from the written brief.

About

Some ideas need time to unfold: a camera moving through a miniature garden, a reveal in a workshop, or a visual passage for a piece of music. Seedance 2.5 text to video supports 4–30-second clips and output through 1080p. Begin with a clear subject, then describe how the action develops over the chosen length. Use sound cues when audio is enabled, or switch it off for a separate soundtrack. This page keeps Seedance 2.5 selected so you can plan around its longer duration range rather than fitting every idea into a short cut.

Questions

How long can a Seedance 2.5 text-to-video clip be?

The current model supports 4–30 seconds. Choose a length that gives the action time to develop; a longer duration alone does not guarantee continuity or a single unbroken take.

What should I include in a longer prompt?

Describe the setting, the camera path and a small number of developments. For example: approach a greenhouse, reveal its open door, then hold on the plants inside. Keep important subject details consistent throughout the brief.

Does Seedance 2.5 offer 4K output?

The current HowWorks model configuration offers 480p, 720p and 1080p. Choose one of those formats rather than carrying a 4K setting over from another model.

Can I turn generated sound off?

Yes. Seedance 2.5 has an audio switch. Use a silent clip for a separate soundtrack, or describe the intended ambience when audio is enabled.

Can I start from an illustration?

Use Seedance 2.5 Image to Video with the illustration as a start frame. Text to Video begins without a required source image; references and endpoints have their own input setups.
