Introduction To Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p

Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p turns reference images, short video clips, and audio into a cinematic 4–30-second clip at 480p that keeps your subject, wardrobe, and style consistent. Combine up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files with a text prompt: images steer identity and style, videos carry camera motion and rhythm, and audio sets the mood. Optional synchronized native audio can be generated with the video. For developers, Seedance 2.5 on RunComfy runs in the browser and via an HTTP API, so you don't need to host or scale the model yourself.

Why Choose Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p#


Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p uses your reference material to drive generation at 480p. Blend up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files into a single guided generation: images steer identity and style, videos carry camera motion and rhythm, and audio sets the mood — all combined via one text prompt, with optional synchronized native audio.


AdvantageWhat it means for you
Multi-reference controlCombine up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files so several sources guide one coherent result.
Stronger consistencyReference images plus a clear prompt help anchor identity, wardrobe, and tone across frames.
Native audio in one passGenerate synchronized speech, effects, and music with the clip, or turn audio off for silent video.
Up to 30-second clipsDirect a longer single shot with steadier quality than stitched short takes.

Best Use Cases#


  • Consistent character videos: Keep a person, mascot, or product on-model across a shot.
  • Product references to cinematic clips: Turn product and environment references into a directed scene.
  • Style-locked brand videos: Carry a look, palette, or motion feel across variants.
  • Previsualization: Combine references and prompt to test a scene before a full shoot.

How It Works#


  1. Add your references: Upload reference images under Images (up to 9); add short reference Videos (up to 3) or Audio (up to 3) to guide motion or sound.
  2. Describe the shot: Write what should happen and how the camera behaves (subject action, push-in, pan).
  3. Respect the limits: Reference videos and audio should be about 2–15 seconds each; keep reference audio under 15 MB.
  4. Set aspect ratio, duration, and audio: Choose an aspect ratio and a 4–30-second duration, and decide whether to generate audio. Output resolution is fixed at 480p.
  5. Generate and refine: Swap references, refine the prompt, then generate again.

Improved prompt example


> Using the greenhouse reference for environment and style, animate a calm cinematic walk: slow push-in down the central aisle as leaves tremble softly, dust motes drift through warm side light, glass panels softly fogging, shallow depth of field, continuous smooth motion, no text, no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p best used for?

It guides a 480p clip with reference images and optional video or audio, keeping identity, wardrobe, and style consistent. It fits consistent-character videos, product-reference clips, and style-locked brand videos.

How does reference-to-video generation work here?

You attach reference material — up to 9 images, 3 short videos, and 3 audio clips — and describe the shot in the prompt. References anchor identity, wardrobe, style, motion, and sound, while the prompt guides action and camera. Only the prompt is strictly required.

What reference limits and duration does Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p support?

Up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos, and 3 reference audio files (reference videos and audio about 2–15 seconds each; audio under 15 MB). Duration is a whole number of seconds from 4 to 30 (default 5). Aspect ratio can be 16:9 (default), 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, or adaptive. Output is fixed at 480p.

Do I need video and audio references to use it?

No. It can run from a text prompt plus images alone. Add short reference videos or audio when you want stronger motion or mood guidance.

Does Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p generate audio?

Yes. generate_audio is on by default, so the model can output synchronized speech, effects, and music. Turn it off when you only need silent video.

Can developers call Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p through the RunComfy API?

Yes. Prototype in the RunComfy model UI, then call the same template through the API with matching fields (prompt, images, videos, audios, aspect_ratio, duration, generate_audio). Generations consume credits on both paths.

How much does Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video 480p cost on RunComfy?

Without reference videos, billing is $0.2 per second of generated video. With reference videos, billing is $0.12 per counted second (reference video duration plus output duration); image and audio references are not billed.

How does it differ from the 720p page?

Both share the same reference-guided path and 4–30-second window; this page outputs at 480p. Draft here, then reuse the winning references on the 720p page for finals.
