Draft Mode: iterate cheap, deliver in full quality
Draft Mode splits generation into a fast 480p preview and a connected full resolution final, so you only pay full price for the take you keep.
A true draft to final workflow
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's flagship cinematic video model, and Draft Mode changes how you iterate. Generate fast, low cost 480p drafts to lock in composition, motion, dialogue, and camera movement, then render the take you love in up to 4K from the same draft, keeping its exact look. It's a preview first workflow that can cut the cost of nailing a shot by up to 77% and roughly double your speed.
30 seconds. One take. Zero cuts.
Most models tap out near 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 doubles it: a full 30 second continuous shot, so a character can enter, act, and land a line with no jarring cut. Longer takes, steadier pacing, and story beats that finally have room to breathe.
Light that behaves like light
No flat, oversaturated glow. Seedance 2.5 lights a face the way a cinematographer would: the near eye catches more than the far one, shadows fall where they should, and micro expressions read as genuine feeling. It looks shot, not rendered.
