How to Use Seedance 2.5 in Claude

Seedance 2.5 is available in CreativeClaw today. Connect CreativeClaw to Claude, request video/seedance-2.5, and Claude can generate premium native-audio video from text, images, or a multimodal reference pack without requiring a separate provider account.

The short version

• Model ID: video/seedance-2.5
• Inputs: text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video
• Duration: 4–30 seconds
• Resolution: 480p or 720p
• References: up to 50 image, video, and audio references, subject to endpoint limits
• Pricing: 45 credits per output second at 480p or 95 credits per output second at 720p

A five-second clip costs about 225 credits at 480p or 475 credits at 720p. Reference-to-video can also bill for input video duration, so the final cost may be higher when video references are included.

When to choose Seedance 2.5

Seedance 2.5 is a premium choice when the brief needs native audio, longer clips, multiple references, or strong control over a sequence. It is especially useful for:

• product and campaign films with several approved reference assets
• character, wardrobe, product, and location consistency in one generation
• clips that combine a visual brief with sound or motion references
• longer 4–30 second outputs that would otherwise require several separate shots

For a lower-cost first pass, start with the recommended default, Gemini Omni Flash, or use LTX 2.3 Fast or Veo 3.1 Lite. Move to Seedance 2.5 when its reference capacity or premium output is worth the higher rate.

How to use Seedance 2.5 in Claude

1. Connect CreativeClaw. Follow the setup guide and sign in once.
2. Name the model. Ask Claude to use Seedance 2.5 and specify 480p or 720p, duration, and aspect ratio.
3. Assign a role to every reference. Tell Claude which input controls identity, product appearance, motion, environment, or sound.
4. Review before generating a batch. At 95 credits per second for 720p, one approved test clip is safer than several blind variations.
