What Is Seedance 2.5?

Create Seedance 2.5 video in ZMS AI from text, frames, or references, with 480p/720p, 4–30 seconds, and audio.

Seedance 2.5 first run at 5.7 seconds: a full-size open sheet with a central crease
SD-01 at 5.7s · sheet remains open · 6.08s output · 854 × 480 · 150 credits

Both six-second scenes remain steady. The first sheet stays open; the second closes too narrowly and adds a tool.

Two credited ZMS AI folding runs, then ten supplied recordings. Those notes request 720p; the files measure about 854×480.

First folding attemptRecorded on ZMS · 480p · 6.08s output · 854 × 480 · 150 credits · 28 September 2026
Prompt, settings & inputs
Prompt used

Create one continuous six-second shot in a bright bookbinding studio. An adult binder in a linen apron slowly folds one cream sheet of paper once along its center crease on a wooden table, presses the fold flat with both hands, then lifts both hands clear. Keep the camera locked in a close three-quarter view. Preserve the same hands, apron, paper size, table edge, and daylight direction throughout. Include only quiet paper rustle and room tone; no speech or music. No sewing, needle, thread, press, cut, extra sheet, extra fingers, logo, or text. End with one neatly folded sheet resting still on the table.

Prompt used

A single locked overhead shot of a bookbinder in a dark apron at a wooden workbench. 0–1s: one unmarked cream A4 sheet lies flat in landscape, both hands touch its far corners. 1–4s: lift the far half of the sheet and swing it toward the camera in one motion until the far edge meets the near edge. 4–5s: press along the center crease. 5–6s: both hands leave the frame, showing only a folded, half-size rectangle. Do not unfold the paper or reopen it at the end. Keep the same hands, apron, table, and camera throughout. Sound: soft paper rustle, no dialogue or music.

Keep the perfume bottle's shape, proportions, glass material, cap, liquid color, and overall design consistent with the reference image. The perfume bottle remains stationary on the polished black marble surface. The camera slowly moves from the front toward the right side in a smooth cinematic orbit around the bottle while gradually pushing closer. Soft golden light travels subtly across the glass surface, producing realistic highlights, reflections, and refraction. Fine atmospheric mist moves slowly in the dark background. Do not deform, rotate, resize, replace, or redesign the bottle. Smooth controlled camera movement, realistic glass physics, premium luxury fragrance commercial, cinematic studio lighting, shallow depth of field, photorealistic product cinematography.

Alpine lake camera motionSupplied recording · Image to video · note requested 8s, 720p, 16:9 · file 8.064s, 852×480
Prompt, settings & inputs
Prompt used

The camera slowly glides forward from the shoreline across the surface of the alpine lake toward the distant snow-capped mountains. Maintain the exact geography, mountain shapes, shoreline, pine trees, and overall composition established in the reference image. Create subtle natural movement throughout the environment: gentle ripples spread across the clear water, thin morning mist slowly drifts above the lake, pine branches move slightly in the breeze, and soft clouds gradually travel across the distant sky. As the camera moves forward, realistic parallax appears between the foreground shoreline, side trees, lake, and distant mountains. The golden sunrise gradually illuminates more of the mountain peaks while maintaining realistic exposure and natural lighting. Smooth cinematic forward camera movement, realistic environmental physics, stable landscape geometry, natural atmospheric motion, photorealistic travel cinematography. Do not introduce people, animals, boats, buildings, or new objects.

Prompt used

Preserve the exact appearance and design of the orange fox plush character from the input image. The fox takes three small steps forward, pauses beside the tiny wooden chair, gently turns its body toward the camera, and raises one arm in a small friendly wave. Its large ears make a subtle natural movement and its fluffy tail gently sways as the character moves. Keep the orange fabric, cream belly and muzzle, black button-like eyes, ears, limbs, tail, proportions, stitching, and plush texture consistent throughout the entire video. The camera performs a very slow cinematic push-in toward the character. Maintain the same miniature reading room, bookshelves, chair, table lamp, rug, lighting, and warm atmosphere. Smooth stylized character animation, realistic plush fabric physics, stable character identity, cinematic depth of field. Do not transform the character into a real animal or human. Do not change its colors, facial design, clothing, proportions, or number of limbs.

Create a cinematic sequence featuring a young woman walking through a quiet European street during golden hour. She has shoulder-length dark brown hair and wears a beige trench coat, white top, black tailored trousers, and simple black shoes. Use the uploaded reference video as the action and motion reference. Follow the reference video's overall body movement, action sequence, walking rhythm, timing, camera direction, and framing progression. The woman begins standing slightly turned away from the camera. She naturally turns her upper body and head, then starts walking forward along the street. After several steps, she gently looks back over her shoulder toward the camera while continuing to walk. Her arms move naturally and her trench coat and hair respond subtly to the breeze and walking motion. The camera smoothly follows behind her, matching the tracking movement and motion rhythm of the reference video. Warm golden sunlight passes between historic European buildings, creating soft highlights and long natural shadows. Maintain consistent facial identity, hairstyle, outfit and body proportions throughout the entire shot. Natural human anatomy, realistic walking motion, realistic fabric physics, smooth cinematic tracking, photorealistic lighting. Continuous single shot, no sudden cuts. Do not introduce additional foreground characters, text, logos or watermarks.

Seedance 2.5 FAQ

Answers about controls and the recorded examples.

Which Seedance 2.5 input paths are available?

Text, frames, images, or videos. Do not mix image and video references.

Does Seedance 2.5 need an ending frame?

No. A first frame is required; the last is optional.

Which Seedance 2.5 output settings are available?

480p/720p, 4–30 whole seconds, and audio. Text has six ratios plus adaptive.

Are both Seedance 2.5 examples real?

The two folding clips are audio-enabled ZMS text runs from 28 September 2026. Both requested six seconds and returned 6.08. Ten more clips are supplied recordings with prompts and inputs; their notes request 720p, and the files measure about 854×480.

Did Seedance 2.5 achieve the requested fold?

Neither fully did: open paper first, then an overly narrow fold with an extra tool.
