Creating Longer AI Videos Is Still Difficult. Dreamina, the Tool of AI Video Maker, Launches Seedance 2.5 with 30-Second Generation and 50 Reference Inputs

Published

on

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creating a short AI video is becoming easier. Creating a longer video that keeps characters, scenes and visual style consistent is still a challenge for many creators.

Dreamina, ByteDance’s AI-powered creative platform, announced the global launch of Seedance 2.5, its latest AI video creation model designed for filmmakers, marketers, content creators and businesses. The model is available globally through Dreamina.

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 supports up to 30 seconds of continuous video generation, up to 50 reference assets including images, videos and audio, flexible editing features and multilingual content creation.

For creators who want to test ideas before production, build marketing videos from existing assets or create longer stories without starting over, Dreamina serves as the Tool of AI Video Maker, with Seedance 2.5 providing the video generation capabilities behind these workflows.

About Dreamina

Dreamina is ByteDance’s AI-powered creative platform for image generation, video creation and visual editing.

The platform helps creators, marketers and businesses produce visual content for entertainment, advertising, ecommerce and social media.

With Seedance 2.5, Dreamina combines AI video generation and editing capabilities in one place, allowing users to move from early ideas and reference materials to finished video content.

Why Is Creating Longer AI Videos Still Difficult?

Many AI-generated videos look convincing in the first few seconds, but maintaining visual continuity becomes a major challenge as the story unfolds. Common issues—such as shifting character appearances, inconsistent backgrounds, and erratic camera movements—often force creators to regenerate entire shots rather than tweaking specific frames. This friction is particularly challenging for filmmakers building concept scenes, brands producing commercial ads, and creators producing narrative-driven social content.

Seedance 2.5 addresses these bottlenecks by enabling longer video creation with enhanced cross-scene consistency. The model naturally generates up to 30 seconds of continuous video in standard mode. When accessed through Dreamina, Seedance 2.5 also supports Long Video Mode for projects of up to three minutes. This gives creators more flexibility when developing commercials, concept films and longer narrative content.

How Can Filmmakers Use Dreamina Before Production?

Long before a camera starts rolling, filmmakers spend weeks, sometimes months, wrestling with ideas. Directors test camera angles, art departments refine the visual tone, and producers weigh whether an ambitious shot is actually worth the budget. Traditionally, this meant relying on static storyboards, mood boards, and crude sketches. They show the look, but not the feel.

Through Dreamina, filmmakers can use Seedance 2.5 to combine text instructions with existing images, video clips and audio tracks, turning static concepts into moving visual previews.

For a complex action scene, a director can upload character references, location images and visual examples to test camera movement, pacing and lighting before production begins. The resulting video gives directors, producers and art teams something concrete to review and revise.

In this workflow, Seedance 2.5 is the model that generates the video, while Dreamina is the tool of AI video maker that gives creators access to the model and the surrounding creation and editing workflow.

How Can Brands Turn Existing Assets Into Marketing Videos?

Many companies already have product images, campaign materials and brand assets, but creating enough video content for every channel remains difficult.

A single product launch may require:

Website videosAdvertising creativesTikTok clipsInstagram ReelsEcommerce product videosLocalized versions for different markets

Through Dreamina, a marketing team can upload product images, reference videos and creative examples for Seedance 2.5 to use when generating campaign videos.

Instead of rebuilding each video from the beginning, the team can reuse the same approved materials to prepare content for different campaigns, platforms and markets.

When changes are needed, creators can adjust selected parts instead of rebuilding the entire video. Features including local editing, green screen support and 3D workflow compatibility help teams refine content while keeping the original creative direction.

For ecommerce teams, this means product images can become promotional videos. For marketing teams, one campaign idea can be adapted into several content formats through Dreamina.

How Does Dreamina Seedance 2.5 Help Creators Keep Videos Consistent?

Consistency is one of the biggest challenges in AI video creation.

A character, product or visual style may look different from one scene to another, making it difficult to build a complete story.

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 supports up to 50 reference assets in a single project, including:

ImagesVideo clipsAudio files

Through Dreamina, creators can upload these materials into one Seedance 2.5 project. The references can guide character identity, product appearance, environments, camera style, pacing, music and overall visual direction.

This is useful for filmmakers developing recurring characters, brands maintaining product appearance and creators building content series with a consistent style.

How Much Does Dreamina Seedance 2.5 Cost?

To support the global launch, Dreamina is introducing launch pricing for eligible users.

During the promotion period:

Seedance 2.5

Starting from $0.097 per second

Seedance 2.0

Starting from $0.066 per second

Pricing depends on subscription plans, eligible offers and regional availability.

Dreamina also provides a price-matching program for qualifying comparable plans. Users can check official promotion terms for eligibility and current pricing details.

Who Is Dreamina Seedance 2.5 For?

Seedance 2.5 is designed for creators and teams who need more flexibility when developing video content.

The model can support:

Filmmakers testing scenes before productionMarketing teams creating campaign videosEcommerce teams producing product contentSocial media creators making short-form videosCreative agencies preparing visual concepts

With support for more than 10 languages, subtitles and lip-sync features, Seedance 2.5 also helps teams prepare content for audiences across different markets.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Windward Bio, a portfolio company of Qiming Venture Partners and a clinical-stage biotechnology company, successfully listed on Nasdaq on November 13, 2026. Windward Bio (Nasdaq: WWB) priced its IPO at $17.00 per share.

Windward Bio was founded in 2024 with a mission to transform the treatment paradigm for patients living with chronic inflammatory diseases through the development of differentiated biologic therapies targeting clinically validated disease pathways. Led by a team with extensive expertise across discovery, development, and commercialization, Windward Bio is advancing a pipeline of ultra-long-acting antibody medicines to improve clinical outcomes, reduce treatment burden and expand treatment options for patients with serious respiratory and dermatologic diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atopic dermatitis.

Windward Bio’s lead program, WIN378, is a potentially novel anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody engineered for improved potency and extended half-life. WIN378 is currently being evaluated in POLARIS-1, a Phase 2/3 study in severe uncontrolled asthma, and SIRIUS, a Phase 2 study in COPD. The company’s pipeline also includes WIN027, a clinical-stage, long-acting bispecific antibody targeting TSLP and IL-13 with potential applications across multiple inflammatory and immunological diseases. Windward Bio holds exclusive global rights (excluding Greater China and certain Asian countries) to WIN378 through a licensing agreement with Kelun-Biotech and Harbour BioMed, and has separately licensed WIN027 from Qyuns Therapeutics.

“Qiming Venture Partners invests in differentiated, globally competitive biotech innovation designed to address significant unmet needs for patients, and Windward Bio exemplifies this approach. We believe novel, long-acting biologics will reshape the treatment of severe chronic respiratory and skin diseases, and that WIN378 and WIN027 have the potential to expand and meaningfully improve the treatment options available to patients. In the hands of Luca and his team, with their expertise and proven track record, Windward is well-positioned to deliver on this potential, and we look forward to supporting the company through its next phase of growth,” said Alexander Sinclair Wilson, Principal at Qiming Venture Partners.

WeFetch AI Corp. Is the New Name of GreenCore Solutions Corp.

Published

By

gtinfetch.ai, WeFetch.ai’s lead product, removes the guess from artificial intelligence (AI) shopping: the right barcode, and signed proof of it.

VANCOUVER, BC and LONDON, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WeFetch AI Corp., the artificial intelligence (AI) shopping company formerly named GreenCore Solutions Corp., has completed its change of name. The Registrar of Companies for British Columbia issued the Certificate of Change of Name on November 13, 2026.

One Answer for Every Barcode

An AI agent picks a product in words. The same words can match a dozen barcodes: the right brand in the wrong size, last year’s pack, a look-alike from another maker. When the agent guesses, the shopper gets the wrong product, the brand loses a sale it had already won, and the retailer pays for the return.

The Company’s lead product, gtinfetch.ai, removes the guess. It answers for 84,810,515 barcodes from 376,271 makers across 3,520,471 points of sale. An AI agent sends a barcode and gets a firm answer: verified, not verified or unknown, with the sources behind it.

Who it matters to:

The shopper gets the product they asked for.The brand keeps the sale the AI already gave it.The retailer does not pay for a wrong order.

A Signed Receipt of Every Check

When an AI agent buys on a shopper’s behalf, someone has to be able to show it bought the right product. Today nobody can: the agent’s choice leaves no record. gtinfetch.ai gives the agent a signed receipt of the check, written at rco.wefetch.ai and open to public verification. The retailer, the brand and the auditor can each see what was checked, when, and what the answer was. The mark is “Barcode verified”.

Three Regions, One Record

The full record now answers from France, Singapore and the United States. Every barcode also has its own free public page at gtinfetch.ai. The three regions are where AI shopping starts. Singapore has the highest consumer use of generative AI in Asia, at 64.3% of working-age people. France stands at 49.6% and the United States at 33.0%, against 18.8% worldwide. (Source: Microsoft AI Diffusion Report, Q2 2026.) They are also the home markets of the AI that shoppers ask: ChatGPT and Claude in the United States, Mistral in France, and Singapore among the top countries in the world for Claude use per head. (Source: Anthropic Economic Index.)

What we built

WeFetch.ai, the barcode fetch system for AI agents. It answers for 84 million products in 70 countries, with 3.5 million points of sale on its own record, and includes:

triggerfetch for brands;shopfetch for shoppers;matchfetch for AI agents;gtinfetch, the record itself.

It is AI native, and works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, Perplexity and Muse. Every answer is signed.

“Words were the first generation of AI answers. Barcodes are agentic commerce,” said Matthew Keddy, Chief Executive Officer of WeFetch AI Corp. “Every AI agent that moves from search results to shopping needs barcode precision. wefetch has it, signed, in three regions.”

The market: Gartner forecasts $2.7 trillion in AI spending in 2026. McKinsey projects that AI agents will orchestrate $3 trillion to $5 trillion in global commerce by 2030, up to $1 trillion of it in US retail. Every one of those AI agent purchases needs the right barcode.

About WeFetch AI Corp.

WeFetch AI Corp. develops AI software products for AI shopping, retail, grocery and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Its lead product, gtinfetch.ai, is the AI agentic shopping barcode engine: 84 million barcodes, answered for the agents of seven AI labs. WeFetch is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with sales offices in London, UK. Please visit: wefetch.ai
