What it does

Generate cinematic 30-second 4K videos from text or images with Seedance 2.5. Native 4K renders (no upscaling), up to 50 multimodal references, text-to-video and image-to-video. What makes it different: reference images keep characters and style consistent across shots, and the 4K pipeline is native rather than an upscale pass — built for creators who need footage that looks intentional.

Generate cinematic 30-second 4K videos from text or images with Seedance 2.5. Native 4K, up to 50 multimodal references, text-to-video and image-to-video.

No stitching, no upscaling fakery. A glimpse of what cinematic, controllable AI video looks like. Seedance 2.5 pushes past the limits that held back earlier AI video — longer, sharper, and more controllable, with roughly 20% better prompt adherence than the previous generation. No timeline, no rendering farm — just describe what you want. Write a prompt, or drop in reference images to guide style, character, and motion. Choose duration, resolution, and aspect ratio. Up to 30 seconds, native 4K. Seedance…from seedance2-5.me

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.

If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
