video model
Seedance 2.5
ByteDanceText-to-video with natively synchronised audio — one pass, not a dub.
Seedance 2.5 generates picture and sound together rather than generating video and dubbing it afterwards, which is why dialogue actually lands on the lips. It also accepts reference images, reference audio for voice cloning, and reference video for motion — enough control to produce on-brand footage rather than generic stock.

Fit
Two audiences, one model.
The same model is a different proposition depending on what you point it at.
Recruitment fit
Not for assessment — for the top of the funnel. Job ads and employer-brand clips that would otherwise never get produced.
Best for
- Job ad video
- Employer-brand social clips
- Careers-page b-roll
Strengths
- Synchronised audio means a job ad ships without a separate VO pass
- Reference images keep footage on-brand
- Cheap enough to make a clip per role rather than one per quarter
Watch out for
- Generated people in recruitment marketing can misrepresent your actual workforce — disclose it
- No place anywhere near candidate evaluation
The numbers
Measured, not asserted.
