ByteDance shipped Seedance 2.5 this week. We have been testing what it can actually hold, and this is the furthest we have got so far. A stray dog gets under the hoardings at a cup final, takes the ball off a defender and scores the winner. Thirty seconds, five shots, one generation — nothing was edited together, the cuts are written into the prompt. That is the part that is new: the models we film with today stop at fifteen seconds, so anything longer has to be shot in pieces and joined. Third attempt, rendered at 480p because that is what we test at. A probe, not a finished piece of work. What we have learned so far, and the whole prompt, are in the replies. If you are getting better out of it, we want to hear how.
