How to select aspect ratios and durations for widescreen film, vertical Reels, or square posts.

Selecting the Right Format for Your Video

DigitalXLR supports three standard aspect ratios and two clip duration lengths across both Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5.

Aspect Ratio Selection

  • 16:9 (Widescreen Horizontal): The standard format for YouTube videos, desktop viewing, film trailers, and TV broadcasts.
  • 9:16 (Vertical Mobile): Optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and mobile advertising.
  • 1:1 (Square): Ideal for Instagram feed posts, LinkedIn updates, and embedded web banners.

5 Seconds vs. 10 Seconds Durations

Select your duration based on scene requirements:

  • 5 Seconds (5s): Excellent for rapid camera movements, quick cuts, simple actions, or fast story beats. Computes faster and uses lower token amounts.
  • 10 Seconds (10s): The standard for narrative scene beats, dialogue lines, complex choreography, and continuous camera pans.
