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, 720p, or 1080p
• References: up to 50 image, video, and audio references, subject to endpoint limits
• Pricing: 23 credits per output second at 480p, 49 at 720p, or 91 at 1080p

A five-second clip costs 115 credits at 480p, 245 credits at 720p, or 455 credits at 1080p. Reference-to-video can also bill for input video duration, so the final cost may be higher when video references are included. These tiers follow the current Pika Seedance 2.5 specification.

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, 720p, or 1080p, plus 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. Start with one 480p preview at 23 credits per second, then rerender or upscale only the approved direction.

FAQ

Can I use Seedance 2.5 in CreativeClaw now?

Yes. Request video/seedance-2.5 through CreativeClaw in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or another supported client.

Is Seedance 2.5 the default video model?

No. Gemini Omni Flash is the recommended default. Choose Seedance 2.5 when you need its longer duration, premium output, native audio, or multimodal reference capacity.

How much does Seedance 2.5 cost?

Seedance 2.5 costs 23 credits per output second at 480p, 49 at 720p, and 91 at 1080p. Video-reference input can add provider usage that is not fully predictable from a URL-only estimate.

Does Seedance 2.5 support 2K or 4K?

Not natively. The current Pika endpoints top out at 1080p. You can upscale a finished Seedance 2.5 clip to 2K or 4K, but that does not add the same source detail as a native render.

What should I use for cheaper drafts?

Start with Gemini Omni Flash, LTX 2.3 Fast, Veo 3.1 Lite, or Seedance 2.0 Mini, then move to Seedance 2.5 for the approved production direction.
