Seedance 2.5, from screenplay to video sequence
Seedance 2.5 is the default model of the video node in ScreenWeaver. It films the shots of your storyboard, several of them in one clip if you want, from 4 to 30 seconds, with your characters held by their references.
The default video model
Every new video node starts on Seedance 2.5. You switch model in the node itself, on the same inputs.
4 to 30 seconds per clip
The common lengths come first (4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 seconds), and Seedance 2.5 goes up to 30.
A 480p draft first
Test the motion in a cheaper low-resolution draft, then render the take you keep in 720p or 1080p.
What Seedance 2.5 does with a screenplay
You do not hunt for one perfect prompt. The script, the shots and the story elements already hold most of what the model needs.
Several shots in one clip
Seedance 2.5 can cut between framings inside a single clip. Tick consecutive shots in a scene pipeline and it films them as one sequence.Characters held by references
A prompt cites @characters and @places from your story elements, so the same face, wardrobe and set come back from shot to shot.Reference images and audio
Feed it a start frame, a start and end frame, or reference images, and leave audio on to get sound in the same pass.Built from real shots
Each shot carries its action, framing, camera move and duration from the storyboard, so the prompt starts from the scene, not from a blank box.Draft, then finish
A 480p draft costs less. When a draft is the take you want, finish it within 7 days with Finish Seedance draft, or with the Seedance 2.5 Draft finish model in Upscale.Other models in the same node
Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, MiniMax H3, Kling v3.0 and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 sit in the same menu, so you can compare a shot without rebuilding anything.
From screenplay to sequence, without leaving ScreenWeaver
Script, storyboard and production are three tabs of the same project, so nothing is retyped between them.
1
Write or import the screenplay
Writing is free on the Screenwriter plan, and you can import a script you already have. Characters, places and objects become story elements.
2
Generate the storyboard
In Storyboard, Auto-generate and Run all draw your frames shot by shot, each shot with its framing, camera move and duration.
3
Add a pipeline in Production
Add pipeline builds the nodes for a shot or a run of consecutive shots. The selected duration adds up the shots you tick.
4
Draft, then render the keeper
Run Seedance 2.5 in the 480p draft to check the motion, then render the take in 720p or 1080p, or finish the draft.
The old habit, and the screenplay-first way
Clip by clip in a chat
- One prompt per clip, and a different face every time
- Script in one tool, pictures in another, sound somewhere else
- A full-price render for every motion test
- No record of which take belongs to which scene
Seedance 2.5 in ScreenWeaver
- Characters cited from story elements in every prompt
- Script, storyboard and video in one project
- A 480p draft to test the motion before paying for 1080p
- Every clip filed under its scene and its shots
Who it is for, and when in the project
Seedance 2.5 earns its place once the scene is written and the shots are planned.
Performance tests
Try how a character carries a line or how a scene plays before you lock the shoot, and change one shot without redoing the rest.
Moving storyboard
Check staging, eyelines and rhythm with motion and sound, closer to the cut than a static panel.
