Seedance 2.5
Prepare text-to-video, first/last frames or multimodal references as separate generation modes. Describe one action and a camera direction for a focused video brief.
Video Generator
Plan the shot before generating
Start with the subject and the movement that matters most. Keep reference images consistent with your intended framing. Review the selected duration, resolution and credit quote before each video submission.
Can I start with welcome credits?
Use the 3-credit welcome offer for one GPT Image 2 image at 1K, then decide whether to turn that frame into a video. Video generation needs sufficient paid credits. Your plan, balance and private history belong to Grok Video.

Prepare the input
Start with a scene brief. For editing or animation, add the matching reference inputs requested by the generator.
What to compare
Play the clip and inspect the beginning, middle and end. Compare the subject, motion, camera path and sound; a thumbnail cannot establish temporal consistency.
Example boundaries
These are selected external examples, not a promise that a prompt will reproduce the same result. Model versions, references and settings can change the outcome.

What can you create with Seedance 2.5?
Create videos with optional generated audio from a brief, first/last frames, or a combination of visual and audio references. On Grok Video, start with an opening shot and a single camera movement. Keep your source material and intended result together in the generator above.
Prepare your inputs
Reference mode supports up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio files. This uploader accepts images up to 30 MB, videos up to 50 MB, and audio up to 15 MB.
Use one coherent action and a small, consistent reference set first. Extra references can increase input cost and do not guarantee better output.
From brief to result
- Select the mode and describe your intended result in the generator on this page.
- Add references you own or have permission to use, then choose output settings.
- Review the exact credit quote before submitting. Availability and balance checks happen before a generation request.
- When a task completes, review the output before downloading it or starting another variation. A pending task is not a completed result.
Limits to check before generating
Choose a fixed 4-30 second output at 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Reference video and audio totals are each limited to 30 seconds; individual files must be 2-30 seconds.
Do not submit confidential material without the necessary permission. An accepted upload does not guarantee provider approval or a usable output. If a request fails, keep the task record and check its credit refund rather than repeatedly submitting the same input.
Credits and availability
With reference videos, the quote includes both uploaded video seconds and output seconds. The audio toggle does not change this tariff. 4K and automatic duration are not offered.
A model marked unavailable cannot start a paid task. It is not a reason to buy credits until generation has been enabled. Plans, balances, and private history apply to Grok Video.
Can I change models without starting over?
Keep the brief, then review the new model's settings. Different models accept different references and durations, so check the required inputs and quote again before submitting.
