Bytedance Seedance 2.5 Video Edit Turbo

Playground

Seedance 2.5 (Video-Edit Turbo) is the turbo tier for editing an input video from a natural-language prompt — faster, more affordable high-resolution output while preserving subject identity, composition, and motion. Ready-to-use REST API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Seedance 2.5 Video-Edit Turbo is the turbo tier for editing an input video from a natural-language prompt — faster, more affordable high-resolution output while preserving subject identity, composition, and motion of the original.

Key Features

• Turbo tier — Optimized for cost and speed at higher resolutions.
• Conversational video editing — Describe the change in plain language; the model rewrites the scene while keeping the original motion intact.
• Subject and motion preservation — Faces, objects, and camera movement from the input video stay consistent through the edit.
• Multi-reference support — Optionally guide style, character identity, or audio with reference images and audio clips.
• Native audio synchronization — Generates synchronized audio in a single pass.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload the input video. Anything longer than 15 s is trimmed to the first 15 s automatically.
2. Write the edit prompt. Describe the change you want — the prefix Edit the input video. is added for you.
3. (Optional) Add references. Reference images can constrain style or identity; reference audio can constrain the soundtrack.
4. Pick a turbo resolution. 720p or 1080p.
5. Run. Receive the edited video at the requested resolution with synchronized audio.

Pricing

Billed per second across input duration + output duration. Input duration is clamped to the 2-30 s range (sources shorter than 2 s are padded with the last frame). Per-second rate is the Seedance 2.5 edit base ($0.11/s) plus a flat resolution surcharge of $0.02/s at 720p or $0.03/s at 1080p.

Examples (input 5 s, output 5 s = 10 billed seconds):

Examples (input 12 s, output 12 s = 24 billed seconds):

Notes

• Inputs longer than 15 s are trimmed to 15 s and inputs shorter than 2 s are padded with the last frame to 2 s before editing — billing reflects the conformed length.
• Auto-detected duration matches the input length (rounded up), clamped to the 4-30 s range.
• Native audio generation is included.
