What makes Seedance 2.5 different?

It generates up to 30 seconds in a single pass with native synchronized audio — the longest single-shot ceiling currently available in Made.

Does it generate sound?

Yes. Audio is generated natively with the video and is on by default in Made’s configuration.

Which resolutions are available?

480p, 720p, and 1080p, each at its own per-second rate. Made starts at 480p, the cheapest.

Can I animate an existing image?

Yes. Add a start image, describe the motion and sound, and optionally add an end frame to guide the final composition.

Why is it more expensive than other models?

Its price per second is higher than most Made video models, and the price shown before generation is what it costs.

When should I use Seedance 2.0 or Fast instead?

The 2.0 and 2.0 Fast tiers cost less per second and cover clips up to 15 seconds; both are available in Made when the 30-second ceiling is not needed.

Where Seedance 2.5 fits best

Best uses

Single-pass clips up to 30 seconds
Scenes where synchronized ambient audio matters
Animating a still with an optional end frame
Sequences that would otherwise need stitching

Limits to know

It is one of the more expensive per-second models in Made, so draft on a cheaper model and reserve 2.5 for keeper takes.
Long clips multiply cost and generation time; a 30-second take costs six times a 5-second one.

How to use Seedance 2.5 in Made
