Bringing frontier video models into US production
Some of the biggest advances in generative video have recently come from Chinese AI labs. But for many enterprises, having access to a model isn't the same as being able to use it. Before a model can enter a production workflow, companies also need infrastructure, contracting, security, and governance that can pass internal review.
US-hosted infrastructure
Seedance 2.5 runs on fal's US-hosted infrastructure and is available to companies worldwide that need their production material to stay on US infrastructure.
A US contractual counterparty
Agreements you sign with fal, a US company. Contracting directly with a foreign-domiciled model provider can introduce legal and procurement complexity; with fal, it isn't required.
Enterprise controls for real production
The security and governance controls required to bring generative media into real production environments and pass internal review.
Built for studios handling sensitive material
Studios may be working with scripts, unreleased footage, intellectual property, and talent likenesses, while the industry is still navigating copyright, talent consent, and guild agreements for generative AI. Until now, that has meant many enterprises simply couldn't deploy these models at all, regardless of their capabilities.
fal is the US-based path to deploying these models: US-hosted infrastructure, a US contractual counterparty, and the enterprise controls required to bring generative media into real production environments. fal is the generative media platform for developers and enterprises, with fast, reliable infrastructure designed for production workloads.
Some of the best generative video technology in the world is being developed globally, but enterprises need more than model access. They need to know where their workloads run, who they're contracting with, and whether that deployment can pass legal, security, and procurement review. So we set out to build the necessary infrastructure to make the best models in the world actually usable in production.

What is Seedance 2.5?
Dreamina Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's next-generation AI video generation model. It generates native 30-second video from text, a single image, or up to 50 multimodal references, with synchronized audio in the same take. With US hosting on fal, companies anywhere can run it on US infrastructure.
A full 30-second scene in one AI video generation
Dreamina Seedance 2.5 generates up to 30 seconds as one native take, rather than short clips stitched together.
- Identity, clothing, prop ownership and spatial direction hold from the first frame to the last instead of drifting at the joins.
- Detailed prompts produce finished footage you can use as it comes out.
Bring 50 of your own references into one AI video generation
A single generation can combine up to 50 reference materials: up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips, each addressed directly in the prompt.
- Characters keep their appearance and their voices through group scenes and shot changes.
- Audio references drive lip-sync and pacing, with cuts landing on the beat.
AI video that moves like filmed footage
Weight, momentum, fabric and hair behave in generated video the way they do in filmed footage.
- Sleeves trace natural arcs through the air instead of sliding through the body.
- A subject placed into a new environment responds to it, from the way cloth catches the wind to the way light falls across it.

A seamless circus long take
The curtain rises on a Victorian circus. A magician takes the stage, performers fill the ring, and the spectacle builds into carefully choreographed chaos, the sequence unfolding continuously from one act to the next.
