  Generate reference-guided 1080p video with ByteDance Seedance 2.5
  Reference to Video on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI. Feed up to 9
  reference images, 1-3 reference video clips, and 3 reference audio
  files into one call and get a 4-30 second 1080p clip with native
  synchronized audio, identity and style locked to your references.
  Documents the full input schema (images / videos / audios /
  aspect_ratio / duration / generate_audio), the counted-seconds
  billing model ($0.53 per second of reference video duration plus
  output duration), the 480p draft-then-deliver workflow, and when to
  route to Seedance 2.5 text-to-video, image-to-video, or Seedance 2.0
  Pro instead. Calls `runcomfy run
  bytedance/seedance-2.5/reference-to-video/1080p`. Triggers on
  "seedance 2.5", "seedance 2.5 reference to video", "reference to
  video", "reference-to-video", "seedance 1080p", "ByteDance Seedance
  2.5", "consistent character video", "style-locked video", or any
  explicit ask to generate video from reference images and clips.

# Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video

Reference-guided 1080p video from ByteDance. Hand it the images that must stay stable, a short clip that carries the camera motion, and a prompt that directs the action — it returns a delivery-resolution 1080p clip with synchronized audio.

## When to pick this model (vs siblings)

Seedance 2.5 Reference to Video's distinct property is **reference-conditioned generation at delivery resolution**: identity, product geometry, and art direction come from your reference stack rather than from prose, and the output lands at 1080p so you are not upscaling a draft. RunComfy positions it for *consistent character finals, product reference films, and style-locked brand clips*.
