Hello everyone! I'm excited to present my entry for the @CapCut Seedance 2.5 Video Challenge.
The idea of this video is to create a one-shot action sequence featuring a vampire hunter lurking in the vampire's lair. It was a very fun experiment to create this sequence and a great opportunity to try CapCut's new features.
How I made it:
Wrote the script, broke it down into 30-second sequences, and iterated a few times, modifying styles, timing, or other details. Then I generated the video in CapCut Seedance 2.5 using 15 different keyframes, including references with Director inside Canvas mode.
You can see the final video here:

Thank you!

awesome!!
Breaking a one-shot into 30-second chunks and stitching it back together with 15 keyframes is such a smart workaround. Was keeping the camera movement consistent across all of them the hardest part, or was it something else entirely?
First I wrote the whole sequence and break it down to keyframes, from there I took the keyframes for the sequence and just fed it as a reference to director in the order of the keyframes, also gave it a character sheet to maintain consistency and the camera work was indicated in the prompt. I hope any of this makes sense .

@ContraTeam Hello,
I am taking part in the CapCut Seedance 2.5 challenge and very excited about shooting my one-take shot. 📽️
Initially, I applied for 5,000 free Seedance credits on August 13. They state that credits are usually issued within 1-2 business days, but so far they have not been credited to my account. Since the deadline is near - August 19th - I decided to reapply today, but still want to ask for help.
Please, can you check this out for me so I can generate seeds before the deadline? If needed, I can provide my account data.
Thanks a lot!
Hello Rittik, I think most people are submitting the wrong ID. They’re asking for the UID, not the CapCut ID shown in the app. The UID is much longer than the regular CapCut ID.
It’s been three days, and I still haven’t received my credits for the hackathons. Please do something about this. I can’t participate if I don’t have any credits.
Hi Yashwant, Nia here from the Contra Support team!
Just wanted to check in, were you able to submit the credit request form yet? Once that's done, it typically takes 1–2 business days for the tech team to send your credits over.
If you've already filled it out and it's been longer than that, please let me know!
Here is my entry Capcut Seedance 2.5 Challenge:
Sometimes, the most powerful dialogue happens in absolute silence.
In the latest cinematic study, i explore the delicate balance between distance and intimacy.
Set against the authentic golden-hour glow of the Kamakura coastline, this sequence relies entirely on spatial composition, subtle body language, and micro-expressions.
No words.
Just two people, separated by a railway track, sharing one fleeting, genuine moment.
It’s a gentle reminder that in cinematic storytelling and perhaps in life, the spaces we leave empty can sometimes hold the most meaning.
