Seedance 2.0 already delivers a unified multimodal audio-video architecture: text, image, audio, and video inputs, director-level control over performance and camera movement, and industry-leading reference editing.

Seedance 2.5 is the next step — not a replacement for the creative foundation 2.0 established, but an expansion for teams that need longer, sharper, and more reference-heavy workflows.
