What is Seedance 2.5?
Seedance 2.5 by ByteDance turns a prompt or an image into video. On Magicfab, an 8-second 720p clip costs about 192 credits (≈ $6.19 at the Pro plan rate), and you see the exact price before you generate.
Seedance 2.5 is the model we expect most people to start with for video. It handles clips up to 30 seconds, follows camera directions such as slow push-ins, drone moves and orbit shots well, and keeps a subject reasonably stable when you give it a reference image. On Magicfab you will see the exact credit cost and an ETA range before you generate, and a failed render is refunded automatically. Start at 720p for drafts, then render the take you like at 1080p.
