“Close-up of a barista's hands pouring steamed milk into a double espresso in a white ceramic cup, slowly drawing a rosetta pattern that blooms across the crema. The camera holds steady just above the rim. Warm morning light from a cafe window, shallow depth of field, the soft hiss of a steam wand and quiet cafe chatter in the background.” “Close-up of a barista's hands pouring steamed milk into a double espresso in a white ceramic cup, slowly drawing a rosetta pattern that blooms across the crema.

“A street musician in a long dark coat plays a tenor saxophone under a flickering neon sign on a rainy city corner at night. The camera slowly dollies in from a wide shot to a medium shot. Raindrops bounce off his shoulders and the brass catches red and blue reflections. A slow, melancholic jazz melody over the sound of rain and distant traffic.” “A street musician in a long dark coat plays a tenor saxophone under a flickering neon sign on a rainy city corner at night.

“Medium close-up of a woman in her seventies with silver hair sitting at a sunlit farmhouse kitchen table, a bowl of soup in front of her. She looks up with a small teasing smile and says, warmly: "You always forget the salt." Then she slides a glass salt shaker across the table toward the camera. Natural light, soft ambience of a ticking clock.” “Medium close-up of a woman in her seventies with silver hair sitting at a sunlit farmhouse kitchen table, a bowl of soup in front of her.

“An aerial drone shot gliding forward over rugged green sea cliffs at sunrise, following the coastline as white waves crash against the rocks below. Golden light rakes across the grass and a flock of seabirds crosses the frame. Smooth, steady forward motion, cinematic, the roar of the surf and wind.” “An aerial drone shot gliding forward over rugged green sea cliffs at sunrise, following the coastline as white waves crash against the rocks below.

“Low-angle shot from the bottom of an empty concrete skate bowl as a skateboarder in a yellow t-shirt rolls down the wall, pops a kickflip at the lip and lands cleanly, carving back down past the camera. Late afternoon sun, long shadows, the rattle of urethane wheels on concrete and the crack of the tail.” “Low-angle shot from the bottom of an empty concrete skate bowl as a skateboarder in a yellow t-shirt rolls down the wall, pops a kickflip at the lip and lands cleanly, carving back down past the camera.

“Stop-motion animation of a small orange clay fox walking through a forest made of layered cut paper trees, pausing to sniff a paper mushroom before trotting on. Slightly choppy handmade frame rate, visible fingerprints on the clay, soft studio light, a playful plucked-string melody.” “Stop-motion animation of a small orange clay fox walking through a forest made of layered cut paper trees, pausing to sniff a paper mushroom before trotting on.

“Handheld medium shot of a chef in a busy restaurant kitchen tilting a steel pan over a gas flame; the brandy ignites in a tall burst of orange flame that lights up his face, then settles. Steam and motion in the background, the whoosh of the flame, sizzling butter and the clatter of a working kitchen.” “Handheld medium shot of a chef in a busy restaurant kitchen tilting a steel pan over a gas flame; the brandy ignites in a tall burst of orange flame that lights up his face, then settles.

“Slow-motion close-up of a young girl in a summer meadow blowing on a dandelion clock; the seeds lift off and drift toward the camera, backlit by the late evening sun. Shallow depth of field, warm golden tones, birdsong and a gentle breeze.” “Slow-motion close-up of a young girl in a summer meadow blowing on a dandelion clock; the seeds lift off and drift toward the camera, backlit by the late evening sun.

“Huge waves crash against the rocks and spray over the base of the lighthouse while its beam begins to sweep across the sea. The camera slowly pushes in. Roaring surf, howling wind and a distant foghorn.” “Huge waves crash against the rocks and spray over the base of the lighthouse while its beam begins to sweep across the sea.

“The animated woman turns from the window toward the camera, smiles and says: "We're almost there." The countryside keeps passing behind her. The rhythmic clatter of train wheels and a faint whistle.” “The animated woman turns from the window toward the camera, smiles and says: "We're almost there."

“The red convertible starts up and drives away down the highway toward the mesas, kicking up a trail of dust, while the camera stays fixed. The engine rumbles and fades into wind.” “The red convertible starts up and drives away down the highway toward the mesas, kicking up a trail of dust, while the camera stays fixed.

“The cat's ears twitch as a raindrop runs down the glass; it follows the drop with its eyes, lifts a paw to tap the window and flicks its tail. Steady rain against the glass and a soft purr.” “The cat's ears twitch as a raindrop runs down the glass; it follows the drop with its eyes, lifts a paw to tap the window and flicks its tail.

“The brass scoop lifts a heap of bright paprika and pours it slowly into the next bowl, a fine red dust drifting in the lamplight. The camera holds still. Bustling market chatter and the soft hiss of pouring spice.” “The brass scoop lifts a heap of bright paprika and pours it slowly into the next bowl, a fine red dust drifting in the lamplight.

“The canoe glides slowly across the lake as the paddle dips and ripples spread over the mirror-still water; the mist drifts and thins. Gentle paddle splashes and distant loon calls.” “The canoe glides slowly across the lake as the paddle dips and ripples spread over the mirror-still water; the mist drifts and thins.

“The hot-air balloon rises gently above the village and drifts to the right while the painted clouds move slowly; keep the loose watercolour style and paper texture in every frame. A soft, whimsical music box melody.” “The hot-air balloon rises gently above the village and drifts to the right while the painted clouds move slowly; keep the loose watercolour style and paper texture in every frame.

“The blowpipe slowly rotates and the glowing glass swells into a small bubble as it turns near the furnace mouth, sparks drifting upward. Furnace roar, crackle of hot glass and the scrape of the pipe on the rail.” “The blowpipe slowly rotates and the glowing glass swells into a small bubble as it turns near the furnace mouth, sparks drifting upward.

Frequently Asked Questions

ByteDance's Dreamina Seedance 2.5 is a video generation model that produces a single continuous shot with synchronised sound from a text prompt or a still image. It is built for consistency: the subject, lighting and motion hold together across the whole clip
From 4 to 30 seconds, at 480p, 720p or 1080p, always at 24 frames per second. Text-to-video offers landscape, portrait, square and ultrawide framings; image-to-video follows the shape of your input image.
Yes. Sound is created in the same pass as the picture: ambient noise, effects, music and speech. Put a line of dialogue in quotes in the prompt and the character on screen speaks it with matching lip movement. Sound does not change the price.
Usually not. Image-to-video input is screened by the model provider, and photorealistic images of people are often rejected as possible likenesses of real individuals. Illustrated, animated or stylised characters work, as do scenes without people. Text-to-video can show people without this restriction.
Partner models run on our partners' infrastructure rather than on deAPI's own GPU network. deAPI acts as the gateway: same unified API, same key, same job flow.
Make any payment to move your account to Premium, then open the playground and select Seedance 2.5, or pass "model": "seedance-2.5" to the video endpoints. See https://docs.deapi.ai for code examples.
