# Seedance 2.5

> Video from words, or from a large set of your own pictures, a clip and a sound — with a whole multi-shot film written into one take.

**Seedance 2.5** makes video from your words, or from many pictures of your own — with a clip and a sound beside them if you like. When Studio offers it, you find it under **Videos** on Studio's home and **Generation** in **Choose a model**.

The price is never written here — prices change. It is on the model's page in Studio: on the **Make** button and beside each length, size or quality that changes it, before you press.

## What it is good at

A whole small film in one take: write its stages — named, with their times — inside your words, and the take plays them in order. In **Reference** it takes more of your pictures than most models here, and a sound on its own is enough to follow.

## Writing for it

- **Name each reference by its number** — type `@` and pick — and **say what each one gives the take**: *"@Image2 is the jacket"*. A tag that names a reference you did not add binds nothing.
- **Beats inside one take** go in your words; there is no separate shot list.
- In **Reference**, add at least one picture, clip or sound for it to follow.
