Our review

Jimeng is ByteDance's AI image and video creation tool — Chinese-friendly and easy to use, combining image and video, and tied into the CapCut ecosystem, great for domestic creators to ship fast. In late July 2026 it became the first to adopt ByteDance's own Seedance 2.5 video model: native 30-second single-shot output, up to 4K, up to 50 multimodal references and synchronized audio, plus new smart editing, multi-frame editing and Maya/Blender plugins.

Access abroad is limited, fine control is limited, and peak times queue; but for Chinese users and short-video creation, Jimeng's easy-start, image-plus-video, CapCut-connected combo is very practical.
