Write a prompt, choose settings, and hit Generate — your cinematic clip renders in this panel.
One model family covers every creative starting point. Switch modes in the studio without leaving the page — each route is optimized for a different production workflow.
Describe subject, camera motion, lighting, and mood in natural language. Seedance 2.0 renders cinematic clips from 4 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K. Put dialogue in double quotes for lip-synced speech and native audio at no extra charge.
Upload a starting frame and animate it with motion prompts. Seedance 2.0 supports first-frame generation and first-to-last-frame transitions when you provide two images. Ideal for product stills, portraits, and storyboard keyframes that need lifelike movement.
Guide style, character, pose, or camera behavior with up to nine reference images. Mention @Image1, @Image2, and so on in your prompt so Seedance 2.0 knows which asset to follow. Combine images with optional video or audio references for UGC-style and spokesperson content.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance / BytePlus's advanced AI video generation model, widely available through production APIs and creative platforms. It targets teams who need believable human motion, synchronized sound, and flexible input — not just short GIF-like loops.
Where earlier generators struggled with stiff bodies and silent output, Seedance 2.0 focuses on real-person-style video: natural expressions, full-body movement, and lip-sync that matches quoted dialogue. Marketers use it for spokesperson clips and localized ad variants. Creators publish vertical UGC without a full crew. E-commerce teams turn a single product photo into a lifestyle scene with camera motion and ambient audio in one pass.
Technically, Seedance 2.0 accepts text prompts plus optional image, video, and audio references depending on mode. Clips run 4–15 seconds per generation — long enough for a hook, product reveal, or story beat without manual stitching. Output resolutions span 480p for fast drafts through 4K for final delivery. Aspect ratios include 16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, 1:1 square, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 ultrawide, and adaptive modes that infer framing from your input.
Native audio is a defining Seedance 2.0 capability. The model generates sound effects, ambient beds, and speech aligned to on-screen action in the same job — you do not pay extra to enable audio. For dialogue, wrap lines in quotation marks in your prompt; the model uses them for lip-sync timing. That makes Seedance 2.0 suitable for short dramas, talking-head explainers, and social clips where sound design matters as much as visuals.
Reference-to-video mode is where Seedance 2.0 separates from simpler image animators. Upload reference images to lock character appearance, wardrobe, or art direction. Optional video references can steer camera paths; optional audio references can set rhythm or voice tone. Prompts can describe how each asset should be used — for example, keeping the camera style from one reference while applying the character from another. This multimodal control is why production teams treat Seedance 2.0 as a drafting engine before higher-end finishing.

Teams across ads, social, and film pre-production rely on Seedance 2.0 when they need quick, audiovisual drafts that still look camera-shot — not cartoonish.
Produce spokesperson variants, seasonal promos, and product hero shots without location scouts. Iterate hooks at 480p, then export at 720p or 1080p for paid social. Seedance 2.0's synchronized audio cuts separate VO recording for many workflows.
Generate vertical 9:16 clips with conversational tone and realistic faces for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Reference images keep wardrobe and setting consistent when you batch multiple hooks from one shoot's stills.
Animate catalog photography into tabletop reveals, 360-style orbits, and lifestyle contexts. Image-to-video mode treats your pack shot as the first frame so labels and materials stay faithful while motion sells the product.
Block multi-beat scenes up to 15 seconds with explicit camera verbs — push in, orbit, handheld drift. Directors and storyboard artists preview pacing before committing to live action or heavier VFX pipelines.
