What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's next-generation multimodal AI video generation model — transforming images, videos, audio, and text into cinematic, production-ready results with native sound and frame-level control.

Overview

Direct by Reference, Not Just by Prompt

Most AI video generators rely solely on text prompts. Seedance 2.0 takes a fundamentally different approach: you can upload images, videos, audio clips, and text as references — each serving as either the subject to edit or a creative direction to follow. This multimodal input system gives you unprecedented control over motion, camera work, style, characters, and sound without needing traditional video editing skills.

Whether you're a marketer creating product videos, a filmmaker pre-visualizing scenes, or a content creator generating social clips — Seedance 2.0 adapts to your workflow and delivers production-ready results.

Features

Key Features of Seedance 2.0

Six core capabilities that set Seedance 2.0 apart from every other AI video generation tool.

Multimodal Engine

Upload images, videos, audio, and text — each can serve as either the subject to edit or a reference to draw from. Reference anything: motion, effects, style, camera work, characters, scenes, or sound.

Foundational Quality Leap

More than a multimodal upgrade — Seedance 2.0 brings a comprehensive evolution at the core level. More realistic physics, smoother and more natural motion, more precise prompt comprehension, and more consistent style across every frame.

Consistency & Replication

Faces, outfits, product details, typography, and scene styles stay rock-solid across every frame. Faithfully replicates complex camera work, choreography, creative transitions, and cinematic sequences from any reference video.

Creative Continuity

Feed existing videos directly — target specific segments, actions, or pacing for precise edits without regenerating from scratch. Extend clips with strong creative coherence and seamless shot continuity.

Audio-Visual Sync

More accurate timbres and more realistic sound than ever. Supports beat-synced generation — align motion, cuts, and transitions precisely to the rhythm of your music track.

Dynamic Action

Fight sequences, fast chases, acrobatic stunts — high-intensity scenes with physically grounded body dynamics, believable collisions, and responsive camera tracking.
