Seedance 2.5 - Magic Model in the Palm of your hand

From the creator

Seedance 2.5 is finally available for me to test, so I threw first-and-last frames, old Sora prompts, multiple references, voice cloning, and full video edits at it. Some results are genuinely incredible, especially the alien vlog, Robot City, and the finger-magic edit, but familiar problems like teleportation, disappearing objects, language errors, and broken physics are still here. The bigger issue is price: at the rate tested in this video, five seconds of 720p video costs about $1.15, roughly 52% more than Seedance 2.0. Seedance 2.5 is better, but the real question is whether the upgrade is worth paying that much more for every retry. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: Runway - Seedance 2.5 availability: https://runway.com/changelog Runway plans and credit pricing: https://runway.com/pricing Seedance 2.0 technical paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.14148 MiniMax H3 official Hugging Face model: https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 Official ComfyUI MiniMax H3 page: https://comfy.org/minimax-h3/ Hailuo AI's MiniMax H3 open-weight announcement: https://x.com/Hailuo_AI/status/2084123156818915727 Black Forest Labs' FLUX.3 announcement: https://x.com/bfl_ai/status/2084693191484469305 Wan 3.0 public beta post shown in the comparison: https://x.com/MattVidPro/status/2085358816086896927 MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching MattVideoProductions!
