    Dreamina starts rolling out ByteDance’s Seedance 2.5 video model

    Dreamina announced a rollout of ByteDance’s existing Seedance 2.5 video-and-audio model to eligible subscribers over age 16 across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America during the following week. The model can generate clips up to 30 seconds and use multimodal references. ByteDance originally launched the model in July; this is a Dreamina access expansion, not a newly trained Dreamina model or immediate availability to every subscriber.

    DreaminaDreamina Basic introductory offerPricing & Access

    Dreamina offers eligible US users a 29-cent first month with limited credits

    Dreamina advertises a $0.29 first month of Basic for eligible US subscribers, with 1,575 credits and a listed $15 monthly renewal price. The promotion began October 21 and is time limited; users who redeemed its earlier 90%-off offer are excluded. Seedance generation uses credits, so the offer is neither unlimited video nor a permanent $0.29 plan.
