WHY {model}
Production-grade image capabilities
What makes Seedance 2.5 a strong choice for high-fidelity, text-aware image workflows.
50 multimodal references
Feed up to 50 reference inputs across image, video, text, and audio at once — the highest reference limit among commercial video models — for precise control over characters, scenes, style, and sound.
Native 4K output
Produce crisp 4K video natively, ready for large displays, product films, and high-DPI social without upscaling artifacts.
Region-level editing
Edit specific regions of a clip while preserving overall consistency — swap a product, a prop, or a background element without re-generating the whole shot.
Multimodal audio-video joint generation
A unified architecture ingests text, image, audio, and video together and emits synchronized audio-visual output in a single task.

FAQ
Seedance 2.5 API questions
What makes Seedance 2.5 different from Seedance 2.0?+
Seedance 2.5 adds native 30-second single-shot video, up to 50 multimodal references, and region-level editing — so you can generate longer, more controllable clips in one pass instead of stitching multiple 5–15s segments.
How do the 50 multimodal references work?+
Pass up to 50 reference inputs across image, video, text, and audio in one request. They jointly guide characters, scenes, style, and sound, keeping the output consistent with your brand and creative direction.
Can I edit part of a video without regenerating it?+
Yes. Region-level editing lets you change a specific area — a product, a prop, a background element — while the rest of the clip keeps its motion, lighting, and identity.
Is audio generated together with the video?+
Yes. Seedance 2.5 uses a unified audio-video architecture, so synchronized audio is generated in the same task when the selected mode supports it.
What model ID should I use for the Seedance 2.5 API?+
Use seedance-2.5 in the model field. This is the stable PixMind route identifier shown in the playground request JSON.
Which endpoint does the Seedance 2.5 API use?+
Send POST requests to /v1/generations. Keep your API key on your server and pass it as a Bearer token.
Is the playground using a real API request?+
Yes. When you click Run model, PixMind forwards the displayed payload with the API key you entered. A successful request may create a paid task.
Does PixMind save the API key entered here?+
No. The playground keeps the key only in component memory and sends it for the current request; it is not written to browser storage.
Is API pricing the same as PixMind Studio pricing?+
No. API usage resolves through the apiPlatform pricing role and a separate pay-as-you-go ledger. Studio pricing includes the creation interface and product workflow services.
Why can the final price differ from the starting price?+
The entry price reflects the configuration displayed on this page. Resolution, duration, quality, audio, references, and output count can affect the final task price.
How do I receive a finished image or video?+
Generation routes can return an asynchronous task. Save its ID and query the task endpoint until the status is succeeded, failed, or cancelled.
Can I use the same integration for other PixMind models?+
Yes. Models in the same workload family share the generation contract, so switching usually means changing the model ID and supported parameters.
