Seedance 2.5 Draft
The Seedance 2.5 Draft mode makes a 480p preview of your video first. Upgrade only the drafts you like to 1080p, with the same scene and motion, in videos up to 30 seconds long with sound on OpenArt, an independent AI platform that integrates leading video models.
Key Features of Seedance 2.5 Draft
Try several video ideas at 480p first
Seedance 2.5 Draft makes every video at 480p first. A 480p draft uses fewer credits than a 1080p video, so trying five versions of one idea costs less than making all five at 1080p. Change the prompt, the camera move, or the ending in each draft. Then keep the draft that looks right.
Try it NowUpgrade the draft you like to 1080p
Seedance 2.5 Draft turns the draft you pick into a 1080p video. The 1080p video uses the same prompt, reference pictures, length, and aspect ratio as the draft. The scene, the camera move, and the action stay the same. You only pay for 1080p on the videos you plan to use.
Try it NowSet the first and last frame
Seedance 2.5 Draft lets you upload one picture for the start of your video and one for the end, then fills in the motion between them. A photo of a closed gift box and a photo of the open box become a video of the box opening. Check the motion in the draft before you upgrade it.
Try it NowMake 30-second videos with sound
Seedance 2.5 Draft makes videos up to 30 seconds long, and it makes the sound together with the video. Footsteps, voices, and background noise line up with what happens on screen. You can hear whether the voices and sound effects fit your idea while the video is still a 480p draft.
