At Volcano Engine FORCE on June 23, ByteDance previewed Seedance 2.5, claiming a single native 30-second clip without stitching, up to 50 reference inputs in one generation, and region-level editing that redraws part of a frame (The Next Web). Enterprise beta now, public launch targeted early July.
