Seedance 2.5 · 480p · 5s · 30 credits

Seedance 2.5 · 480p · 5s · 30 credits · first-frame image input

Seedance 2.5 · 480p · 8s · 48 credits

Seedance 2.5 · 480p · 15s · 90 credits

[0-5s] Wide: a street chef lights a wok burner at night. [5-10s] Close: vegetables toss through the flame, oil sizzles. [10-15s] Medium: he plates the dish and slides it forward. Warm practical light.

Zombie reunion — an embrace, then a memory

Seedance 2.5 · 480p · 10s · 60 credits

Compare both fictional adult references with the embrace and the cut from the kitchen to a warm memory.

Image 1 · survivor
Image 1 · survivor
Image 2 · partner
Image 2 · partner

Two AI-created fictional adult references made for this case. They load in this order.

Original 480×854 output from October 15, 2026. This is take 2 of two submissions, with generated ambience. No upscaling or editing; repeat generations can differ.

Known limit: After the cut, the man turns away. His healthy-face appearance and facial continuity in the memory are not verified.

Exact original prompt

Create a 10-second fictional cinematic reunion, vertical 9:16. Use exactly two separate shots with one immediate editorial cut between them. Image 1 defines the adult woman survivor in the rust-red jacket, always screen left. Image 2 defines her adult male partner in the olive-green shirt, always screen right. Preserve both distinct faces, hair, clothing and natural anatomy. Both have empty hands throughout. [0-5s] SHOT 1: A locked, chest-height medium two-shot in an abandoned kitchen with cool blue window light. Both people are seen from a front three-quarter angle. The male partner has subtle pale theatrical zombie makeup with intact skin. They recognize each other, take one small step together, and gently embrace. Keep each face visible beside the other's shoulder, looking slightly toward the camera. Hold the embrace by the end of this shot. [5-10s] SHOT 2: Make an immediate hard cut to a DIFFERENT LOCATION: a sunlit golden field before the outbreak. Begin already in the same gentle embrace with the same left/right positions, clothing, camera height and framing. Both are healthy, with normal skin. Keep BOTH faces visible at three-quarter angles, no back-facing head. Hold the warm memory to the end. The transition is an abrupt film edit between two distinct backgrounds, NOT a gradual transformation. No dissolve, crossfade, morphing scenery, transparent walls, double exposure or overlapping locations. No weapons, props, injuries, attacks, extra people, text, dialogue or music. Only quiet natural ambience.

Provider-confirmed failed tasks follow the credit-return process. A task that is still queued or processing is not treated as failed. Keep the task record and avoid duplicate submissions while it is running.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Commercial use depends on your plan, current provider and model terms, and rights to your inputs and requested content. Access to a model does not clear third-party characters, brands, music or likenesses.

How can I use the Seedance 2.5 API?

Developers can compare provider interfaces, billing units and a security checklist. Workspace credits and provider API billing are separate; product credits do not fund a third-party API account.
