Seedance 2.5 FAQ
Seedance 2.5 vs 2.0 — which should I use?
Seedance 2.5 produces smoother, more cinematic motion and better camera control. Use 2.0 for lighter, faster, lower-cost clips.
Image-to-video or text-to-video?
Image-to-video gives more stable, controllable results when you have a good reference frame. Use text-to-video to explore from scratch.
How should I prompt camera motion in Seedance 2.5?
Describe camera movement separately from one plausible subject action, then add only the secondary motion needed by the shot.
