LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ByteDance announced the global launch of Seedance 2.5, debuting first on Dreamina on July 31, 2026, where creators can access the model’s video generation, reference control and targeted editing capabilities in one creative workspace.

The new model is designed for creators who need to produce longer, consistent AI videos without generating and manually connecting multiple short clips. It combines up to 30 seconds of continuous generation, support for up to 50 multimodal reference assets, and targeted video editing within one workflow.

For advertising, ecommerce, social media and visual storytelling, Dreamina, powered by the Seedance 2.5 model, serves as the tool of AI video generation for turning existing creative materials into complete videos that can be reviewed, revised and adapted without starting over.

About Dreamina

Dreamina is ByteDance’s AI-powered platform for creating and editing images and videos from text, image and video inputs. As the first global platform to offer Seedance 2.5, Dreamina gives creators one place to upload reference materials, generate videos, revise selected elements and prepare finished content for publishing. For more information, visit https://dreamina.capcut.com/.

How Dreamina Seedance 2.5 Solves Three AI Video Production Problems

Seedance 2.5 is designed around three common production problems: AI-generated clips are often too short, important visual details can change between scenes, and correcting one mistake may require creators to regenerate an entire video.

Each problem is matched with a specific Seedance 2.5 capability.

Problem 1: Short AI Clips Require Manual Stitching

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 solution: Up to 30 seconds of continuous video generation.

Many AI video projects require creators to generate several short clips and connect them to an editing program. Differences in timing, camera movement, or visual style can make those clips difficult to combine.

On Dreamina, creators can use Seedance 2.5 to generate up to 30 seconds of continuous video in standard mode. An ecommerce team can use one sequence to introduce a product, demonstrate how it works, and end with a branded campaign shot instead of generating each part separately.

For projects that require more time, Long Video Mode supports videos of up to three minutes. This gives teams more room to create extended product demonstrations, branded content and narrative sequences with fewer separate clips.

Problem 2: Characters and Products Change Between Scenes

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 solution: Up to 50 multimodal reference assets in one project.

When creators rely mainly on text prompts, a character’s appearance, a product’s design or the visual style may change between generated scenes.

Seedance 2.5 increases the reference limit from 12 to 50 assets, including:

Up to 30 images Up to 10 video clips Up to 10 audio files 

Through Dreamina, creators can bring these image, video and audio references into one Seedance 2.5 project. The materials may include character images, product photographs, location references, storyboards, camera examples, music and dialogue.

For example, a marketing team can upload approved product photographs, character images, brand references, a storyboard and example camera movements in one project. Seedance 2.5 uses those materials to follow the intended:

Character identity Product appearance Environment and visual style Camera movement and pacing Music and emotional tone 

This reference-driven workflow reduces unexpected changes to characters, products and environments across a complete video.

Problem 3: One Incorrect Detail Can Require Full Regeneration

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 solution: Targeted revisions with Intelligent Edit Mode.

In a conventional generation workflow, an incorrect object, product color or background detail may require the creator to regenerate the entire sequence. This can also change parts of the video that were already approved.

Within Dreamina’s creative workspace, Intelligent Edit Mode lets creators select a timestamp, mark the area that needs to change and provide a direct editing instruction or reference image.

If a product color is incorrect in one scene, for example, the creator can revise the affected area while keeping the rest of the video in place.

The workflow also supports:

Green-screen post-production 3D white-model control Blender and Maya assets Multiple versions based on the same source materials 

Together, these editing capabilities make Dreamina, powered by the Seedance 2.5 model, the tool of AI video generation for teams that need to correct individual details and produce multiple campaign versions without rebuilding the complete video.

Built for Creative and Production Teams

Dreamina Seedance 2.5 is designed for creators and teams that already have a clear production direction or existing creative assets and need more control over the final video.

It is particularly suited to:

Filmmakers developing storyboards and concept sequences Marketing teams producing campaign variations Ecommerce teams turning product images into advertising videos Social media creators making longer, story-driven content Creative agencies preparing client concepts and production drafts 

Through Dreamina, these teams can use approved creative materials, preserve important visual details and revise specific parts of a Seedance 2.5 video without moving between separate generation and editing platforms.

This makes Dreamina, powered by the Seedance 2.5 model, the tool of AI video generation for creative and production teams that need more control over video length, visual consistency and post-generation revisions.

September 20, 2026

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Qazaqstan Investment Corporation (QIC), IT Park Ventures (Uzbekistan), Mirae Asset Venture Investment and SparkLabs Group have signed a term sheet to establish SparkLabs Mirae Silk Road Fund I LP, a new venture capital fund. The fund will be managed by Mirae Asset Venture Investment and SparkLabs Group.

The signing took place in Seoul during the state visits of the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to Korea and the first Central Asia–Republic of Korea Summit.

During this past week, South Korea and Kazakhstan signed commercial agreements worth US$18.95 billion. Kazakhstan is a country of 20 million people with its core industries being oil and gas, and among the highest producers of iron and silver in the world. Uzbekistan is a country of 39 million people, and they are the largest electricity producer in Central Asia.

Qazaqstan Investment Corporation (QIC) is Kazakhstan’s national fund of funds and are anchor investors along with IT Park Ventures, the venture capital arm of the country’s state technology park. The new venture capital fund will back Central Asian startups at the Series A and later, which are businesses with a proven model that are ready to scale beyond the region. The fund is sector-agnostic but focuses on AI-native companies, where artificial intelligence is core to the product and business model.

“Higgsfield becoming Kazakhstan’s first unicorn was a turning point. It showed that a world-class AI company can be built in Central Asia. And it won’t be the last with more than half of the region’s population is under 30, growing up digital and our governments actively investing in AI. Yet the region is still largely overlooked by international investors, and that’s the opportunity this fund is built for,” explained Aslan Sultanov, Co-founder and General Partner at SparkLabs Mirae Silk Road.

Former Coinbase CTO and Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, Balaji Srinivasan, reopened his Network School in Kazakhstan last month. Telegram launched an AI lab and opened their first regional office in Kazakhstan this past year.

Beyond capital, portfolio companies will gain access to the SparkLabs and Mirae Asset’s global networks, along with hands-on support in expanding into South Korea, the United States and the MENA region.

About the Partners

SparkLabs Group is a network of startup accelerators and venture capital funds that has invested in over 600 startups across 6 continents since December 2013. These companies include OpenAI, SpaceX, Vectara, Kneron, Anthropic, Nex Team, Kraken, GenG, Lyft, MetAI, and others.

Mirae Asset Venture Investment is the venture capital arm of Mirae Asset Financial Group, one of Asia’s largest independent financial groups with over US$845 billion in assets under management. The company operates worldwide across 18 markets, and manages a fully diversified global investment platform encompassing ETFs, alternative investments, and traditional strategies.

Qazaqstan Investment Corporation (QIC) is Kazakhstan’s national fund of funds and part of Baiterek National Managing Holding. QIC invests in private equity and venture capital funds alongside international and private partners, with the goal of attracting long-term capital into Kazakhstan and developing the country’s investment ecosystem. QIC participates in 19 funds with a combined capitalization of $2.8 billion.

IT Park Ventures is the venture capital arm of IT Park Uzbekistan, the country’s state technology park and the main platform supporting Uzbekistan’s IT industry and tech exports. IT Park Ventures invests in startups from Uzbekistan and Central Asia and co-invests with international funds, connecting regional founders with global capital and markets.

AECOM has not publicly detailed the scope or impact.Who may be affected: Current and former AECOM employees, clients, and others whose data AECOM held.Cost to you: Nothing.

What Happened

According to a September 17, 2026 post on the dark web monitoring site Ransomware.live, the hacker group Metaencryptor claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on AECOM that allegedly affected about 1.22 TB of data. The cybersecurity blog HookPhish similarly reported that Metaencryptor was behind a suspected attack on the engineering firm.

Separately, the dark web monitoring service Breachsense reported an AECOM data leak listed at approximately 670GB, attributed to a group it identified as BrainCipher.
