When to use Seedance 2.5

Best for

  • Image-guided video generation: Animating a source image while retaining its visual direction
  • Product and campaign motion: Turn approved still artwork into short promotional or presentation-ready sequences

Consider alternatives when

  • Prompt-only video generation: Choose a text-to-video mode when no source frame needs to be preserved
  • Existing footage editing: Choose video-to-video when the motion and timing of a source clip matter

Conclusion
