How to Use Seedance 2.5 in Ethiopia Without Dollars (Paid in Birr, 2026)

You can use ByteDance Seedance 2.5 in Ethiopia through Addis Vids (addisvids.com) and pay in Ethiopian Birr with telebirr, CBE Birr or Bank of Abyssinia — no US dollars, no international card and no fal.ai or BytePlus account. Seedance 2.5 makes clips from 4 to 30 seconds with generated sound, from text, from a photo, from a first and last frame, or from up to 30 reference images. A 5-second 720p clip costs 4,730 credits (about 757 Birr) at the time of writing.

What Seedance 2.5 can do on Addis Vids

• Text to video: describe a scene and get a clip with synchronized sound — ambience, effects and lip-synced speech.
• Image to video: animate one photo, which becomes the first frame.
• First and last frame: give a start image and an end image and Seedance fills the motion between them.
• Reference images: attach 2 to 30 images (people, products, outfits, places) and Seedance keeps them consistent in a new scene. Refer to them in the prompt as @Image1, @Image2 and so on, in upload order.
• Video to video: upload a clip of up to 30 seconds and describe the change — Seedance re-renders it with sound. Editing is billed per second of your clip: 1,136 credits (about 182 Birr) at 720p.
• Length from 4 to 30 seconds — the longest clips of any model on Addis Vids.
• 480p or 720p, in vertical 9:16, square 1:1, widescreen 16:9 or 4:3.

How much Seedance 2.5 costs in Birr

Reference images are free — a clip with 30 reference images costs the same as one with none. The exact price is shown in the app before you generate, and credits for a clip that fails are refunded.

Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3?

Use MiniMax H3 Max Turbo to test ideas cheaply — a 5-second clip is 200 credits (about 32 Birr) and it works on the free trial. Move to Seedance 2.5 for the final version when you need sound, clips longer than 15 seconds, or a person or product kept consistent from reference images.
