Seedance 2.5
One continuous take up to 30 seconds, with sound.
Seedance 2.5 is the long take video model on Kubeez. A single generation runs from 4 to 30 seconds with audio made in the same pass, and one request can carry up to 50 references: 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips. Reach for it when a clip has to carry one subject from the first frame to the last without a cut.
Best for
- Finished short form posts with a hook, a middle and a payoff in one render
- Product spots where the pack has to hold its shape for the whole runtime
- Scenes that combine a character sheet, a motion plate and a voice reference
- Slow processes and transformations a short clip cannot hold
Strengths
- 4 to 30 seconds per generation, rendered as one take instead of stitched clips
- Up to 30 image, 10 video and 10 audio references on a single request
- Native audio generated with the picture, on by default
- 480p, 720p or 1080p output, plus a Draft mode that previews at 480p before a 1080p final
Limits
- No 4K. For 4K, use Seedance 2 on its Standard tier.
- Reference video is capped at 30 seconds in total across all attachments, and reference audio the same.
- A long take needs structure. A vague one line prompt leaves 30 seconds of beats to chance.
Practical tips
- 01
Write the beats in order with rough timestamps, for example 0 to 8s, 8 to 20s and 20 to 30s.
- 02
Name one subject and keep that name identical in every beat.
- 03
Use Draft mode to check timing at 480p, then promote the keeper to a 1080p final.
- 04
Attach the product or character as an image reference so it stays the same across the take.
Sample prompts
Copy one, paste it into Kubeez and change the details to fit your brief.
0 to 8s: close-up of a ceramic coffee cup on a sunlit wooden table, steam rising. 8 to 20s: the camera pulls back to reveal a quiet cafe waking up, a barista wiping the counter. 20 to 30s: slow push in on the cup as the barista sets a pastry beside it. Warm morning light, soft cafe ambience, gentle acoustic guitar.
A single seed pushes up through dark soil, sets a bud and opens into a white flower. Macro time lapse look, shallow depth of field, focus riding the stem the whole way. Quiet ambient hum, a soft chime as the petals open.
