What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's next-generation professional-grade multi-modal video creation model. It supports images, videos, audio, and text as reference inputs to generate cinematic-quality videos — breaking the limitations of single-material creation. With built-in video editing and extension capabilities, it delivers high-precision reproduction of object details, materials, visual effects, and camera movements while maintaining stable character features across shots.

Multi-Modal Creation

Unlike traditional text-to-video models, Seedance 2.0 accepts multiple input types simultaneously — combine reference images, existing video clips, audio tracks, and text prompts in a single generation. Use up to 7 reference images with audio and text in one prompt for maximum creative control, giving creators director-level authority over every aspect of the output.

Ultimate Realistic Stability

Produces footage so realistic it's indistinguishable from real camera work. Handles complex scenes with ease — from subtle micro-expressions and intense physical action to dynamic song and dance sequences. Features built-in professional camera movements, multi-shot storytelling, and native synchronized audio-video output with multi-language speech support.

Industry-Ready Quality

Purpose-built for commercial advertising, film production, and social media marketing. With industrial-grade generation quality and significantly higher usable output rates, Seedance 2.0 lowers the cost and barrier of professional video production while streamlining the pipeline from concept to final cut.

Core Capabilities

Multi-Modal Video Generation

Generate videos from any combination of text, images, video clips, and audio references. Combine multiple reference materials in a single prompt for precise creative control.

Image-to-Video Animation

Upload reference images and bring them to life while preserving visual style, composition, and character details. Ideal for product showcases and storyboard-to-video workflows.

AI Video Editing

Edit existing videos with AI precision — replace subjects, add or remove objects, and repaint specific areas while maintaining original motion and camera movement.

Video Extension

Extend videos seamlessly in either direction. Forward generation creates preceding content, while track completion fills in gaps for continuous storytelling.

First & Last Frame Generation

Define the start and end frames of your video and let Seedance 2.0 generate the motion in between. Perfect for precise transitions and controlled narrative sequences.

Synchronized Audio Output

Native audio-video generation produces rich, matched sound effects alongside visuals. Supports multi-language speech, various accents, and dialect rendering.

Reference the woodcut print style of Image 1@Image 1. The camera starts from a close-up detail of the '马上有福' (Good Fortune Horse) bookplate, then slowly pulls back to reveal the full black-and-white woodcut-style horse. As the camera pulls back, the horse begins to stride forward smoothly, with its mane and saddle blanket swaying slightly. The peony patterns in the background become gradually clearer. The entire process maintains the high-contrast black-and-white blocks and dense hatching texture of the woodcut, creating a visual experience of traditional art coming alive in motion. 0-2s: Close-up on the horse's eyes and mane details, high black-and-white contrast with visible dense hatching. 2-5s: Pull-back shot revealing the horse's head and peonies, bold lines and defined blocks. 5-8s: Continue pulling back to show the full horse with wave-shaped border, the horse begins to slowly stride with smooth leg movement animation. Full panorama showing the '马上有福' text, horse continues walking, parallel hatching creates a slight parallax effect, frame gradually darkens to end. Overall camera movement references the pull-back technique of Video 1@Video 1. No text other than '马上有福'.
