### Seedance 3 status

- Seedance 3: Not announced or released. ByteDance Seed's model list has no Seedance 3 page, launch post or API model. (source: [Seed models](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/models))
- Newest release: Seedance 2.5, July 31, 2026: up to 30 seconds per generation, extendable, with timestamp-level editing. (source: [Seed blog](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/blog/one-take-creation-flexible-referencing-introducing-seedance-2-5))
- Before that: Seedance 2.0, February 12, 2026: multi-shot clips up to 15 seconds with stereo sound. (source: [Seed blog](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/blog/seedance-2-0-official-launch))
- Release gaps: About 2 months from 1.5 pro (December 16, 2025) to 2.0, then about 5.5 months to 2.5. No date has been given for the next one. (source: [Seed blog](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/blog/sound-and-vision-all-in-one-take-the-official-release-of-seedance-1-5-pro))
- Stated direction: After 2.5, ByteDance says it will work on more coherent storytelling, easier generation and editing, and better real-world physics. (source: [Seedance 2.5 post](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/blog/one-take-creation-flexible-referencing-introducing-seedance-2-5))
- Rumor only: February 2026 leaks described 10-minute single takes at a fraction of the cost. ByteDance has never confirmed them. (source: [NDTV Profit](https://www.ndtvprofit.com/technology/bytedance-seedance-3-0-reportedly-in-development-may-usher-in-ai-powered-feature-film-era-11027150))

## Create a video

Generator: https://www-seedance3.com/create

1. Write the shot: Who is in it, what they do, how the camera moves, the light and what we hear. Or open an example and edit it.
2. Add an image or references: Optional: a first or last frame, or reference images, clips and audio for the model to follow.
3. Pick a model and render: Choose 2.0 Fast, 2.0 or 2.5, the resolution and the length. The button shows the credits; download the MP4 when it's done.

## When Seedance 3 AI is a good fit

- You searched for Seedance 3 and want to make videos now: the site runs Seedance 2.5, 2.0 and 2.0 Fast in the browser, with no Dreamina plan or API key, and states that Seedance 3 had not been released as of November 2, 2026.
- You want to try it free: 50 credits on signup (one 5-second Seedance 2.0 video at 480P), then one free Seedance 2.0 Fast 480P clip of up to 5 seconds per daily check-in, with streak bonuses of 10 credits on day 3 and 30 on day 7.
- You'd rather pay per second with one-time packs (300 credits for $9.99) than subscribe, and want the exact price before each render.
- You need text to video, first/last-frame image to video or reference mode (up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio files) with sound generated in the same pass, and clips up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5.
- Not a fit: you need Seedance 3 itself today (it isn't released), unlimited free renders, 4K, editing or extending existing videos, or an API.
