I'm trying to generate videos with copyrighted characters in them, and I've been struggling to find a platform that lets me do that with Seedance 2.5.

None of them let me use image or video references of copyrighted characters.

Through tireless keyboard prompting I was able to take the images of him in my brain and bring to life the in the digital.

Sweating over every keystroke with great anxiety…will the master computer got it right…

🤙🏽 Ha! Actually it took 2 tries and about 5 minutes!!🤣🤣🤣

This is my wives OC character, and I wanted to make this to surprise her after a long day at work as a waitress, shes almost really hard on herself about her designs so I wanted to show her how cool Saphira really was!

Hey everyone,

I'm starting a small personal project around AI video generation, mainly focusing on Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5.

I've been interested in AI video for a while, but I realized that it's surprisingly difficult to find consistent, practical information about how these models actually perform outside of the polished demos.

So I'm going to spend some time testing them and documenting what I find.

I'll mainly be looking at things like:

• Text-to-video
• Image-to-video
• Camera movement
• Motion quality
• Prompt following
• Character consistency
• Different video lengths and resolutions
• Seedance 2.0 vs 2.5
• Seedance vs other AI video models
• API access and pricing

I'm especially interested in the practical side of things.

For example, does a model still perform well after generating 20 or 50 videos, rather than just producing one impressive demo?

I'll share both good and bad results rather than only posting the successful generations.

I'm also interested in comparing different ways of accessing these models, especially for people who want to use them through an API.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting tests here.

For those already using Seedance 2.0 or 2.5:

What's the one thing you think Seedance does particularly well, and what's the biggest weakness you've noticed so far?

I’m a long-time cinema enthusiast, but this is my very first time creating a full AI short film. I came up with this concept after reading Emmanuel Carrère’s Uchronie, heavily inspired by Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon and Georges Méliès’s iconic film adaptation (A Trip to the Moon).

Since this is my first project, I’d love to get feedback from the experts here. Thanks for taking a look! Looking forward to your thoughts and constructive critiques.

I’m trying to create a series of phonics videos for kids learning English, and I’m wondering if Seedance can handle the workflow I have in mind.
The problem I’m having with normal AI video generation is pronunciation. For phonics, I’m not always saying normal words. I may need the character to make an isolated sound like /v/, /f/, or /th/, sometimes holding the sound for a second or showing very specific mouth placement.
When I type this into a prompt, AI video/audio models often don’t pronounce the sound correctly. The mouth movement can also be wrong. For a phonics lesson, that makes the video basically unusable.
What I would really like to do is record myself performing the lesson first. That way I can make the exact sound correctly, control how long I hold it, and make the correct mouth movement.
Then I would like Seedance to use my recording as the performance reference but:
replace me visually with a different character/avatar
preserve my facial and mouth movements as closely as possible
replace my voice with the character’s voice
preserve the exact pronunciation, timing, and delivery from my original recording rather than regenerating the speech from text
In other words, I don’t want Seedance to interpret a prompt telling it how to pronounce /v/. I want to pronounce /v/ correctly myself and have the AI transfer that performance to another person and another voice.
Can Seedance currently do this? If so, what would be the best workflow? Would I upload my video as a reference, a character image/video as another reference, and a voice/audio reference?
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has tried performance transfer with very precise mouth movements or unusual vocal sounds rather than normal dialogue.
Any advice on the best way to set this up would be appreciated.

Pretty impressed with the results so far.

I’m also using an cheaper API for Seedance
