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.

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.

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. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…
