Prompt guide

Everything you need to direct AI video

30 seconds with sound and cuts baked in

Tell a complete 30-second story with multiple shots, and sound scored to picture. Seedance 2.5 renders sound with picture, so dialogue, effects and music arrive in the same generation.

Bring up to 50 references

Control the cast, products, wardrobe, sound, environment, and more by attaching references. Then give Seedance context for how you want each used by @ mentioning them in your prompt.

Change one thing, keep the rest

One mistake doesn't require an entirely new generation. Describe a change on the Edit input and Seedance 2.5 repaints that part of the frame while the performance, timing, and camera stay as they were.

Shoot for the feed you post to

Pick vertical, square or widescreen before you generate, from 9:16 to 21:9, and the camera moves and audio sync hold at every size. Resolutions run from 480p to 4K.

Available on every Pika Plan

Seedance runs on every plan—even Free with a credit pack. For reference, a 5-second 720p clip costs about 122 credits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a Seedance 2.5 clip be?

Up to 30 seconds as a single generation, with the soundtrack produced in the same render. Pick the length in the app; longer clips cost more credits.

Does it generate sound?

Yes. Every clip comes back with its own audio: voices, ambience, effects and music, timed to what happens on screen because they are generated together with the picture.

How many references can I use?

Up to 30 images, 10 video clips and 10 audio takes in one generation, 50 in all. Each clip or audio take can run 2 to 30 seconds, and each kind adds up to 30 seconds at most. Tag a reference in the prompt to say what it is for, and that direction holds for the whole clip.

Can I fix one detail without regenerating?

Yes. Put the clip on the Edit input, where it is named @Video1, and describe only what should change: a label, a background, an outfit. Seedance 2.5 repaints that area and leaves the rest of the frame, the timing and the length as they were.

Does 2.5 render 4K?

Yes. Seedance 2.5 now renders in native 4K.

How much does Seedance 2.5 cost?

A 5-second 720p video costs about 122 credits. That is approximately $0.22/second on a yearly plan or $0.27/second on monthly (USD). Final credits vary by settings; check the quote before generating.

Is Seedance 2.5 on the Free plan, and do videos have a watermark?

Yes. Every model and app is on every Pika plan, Free included. Free has no monthly credits, so you buy a credit pack to generate. No Pika plan adds a watermark, and the commercial license starts with Starter at $10 a month. Current plans and credit packs are on pika.art/pricing.
