Bytedance Seedance 2.5 Text To Video Turbo

Playground

Seedance 2.5 (Text-to-Video Turbo) generates cinematic 720p/1080p videos from text prompts —a faster, more affordable high-resolution tier with native audio-visual synchronization, director-level control, and exceptional motion stability.

Features

Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video Turbo delivers high-resolution 720p and 1080p cinematic videos with turbo generation — a faster, more affordable way to get high-resolution output with native audio-visual synchronization.

Key Features

• Turbo output Generates 720p or 1080p with turbo-accelerated delivery.

• Unified multimodal architecture Same Seedance 2.5 foundation handling text, image, audio, and video inputs.

• Native audio-visual synchronization Generates video with synchronized audio in a single pass.

• Director-level control Camera movement, lighting, shadows, and character performance controlled through prompts.

• Exceptional motion stability Industry-leading motion coherence with stable subjects and fluid transitions.

Parameters

Pricing

Seedance 2.5 base rate ($0.90 per 5 seconds at 480p-equivalent) plus a flat resolution surcharge of $0.10 per 5 seconds at 720p or $0.15 per 5 seconds at 1080p, prorated per second. With reference videos the base rate doubles; the surcharge stays the same.

Best Use Cases

• Turbo HD Content — Get 720p/1080p output faster and at a lower price.
• High-Volume Production — Cost-effective high-resolution generation for large content libraries.
• Social Media Premium — Fast turnaround on HD short-form content.
• Rapid Prototyping — Quickly iterate on high-resolution concepts.

Pro Tips

• Use this endpoint when you need HD resolution with turbo-speed generation.
• Write prompts like a film director — include lighting, camera angles, and mood.
• Start with a short duration (4-5s) to iterate, then extend up to 15s for the final cut.

Notes

• Native audio generation included.
• Resolution options: 720p and 1080p only (turbo mode).
• Duration range: 4-30 seconds (continuous).
