Seedance 2.0 is a new-generation AI video generation model launched by ByteDance. It can generate cinematic videos based on text prompts or reference images, supports multi-shot storytelling and native audio synthesis, and outputs at resolutions up to 2K.
[Uses] Seedance 2.0 is aimed at content creation scenarios such as film and television, advertising, anime, game cutscenes, and social media. Users can quickly generate short videos with coherent storytelling through text prompts or by uploading reference images, making it suitable for directions such as commercial advertising, cinematic storytelling, multi-shot anime sequences, action scenes, creative text transitions, and immersive game CG.
[Main capabilities]
- Multimodal input: It can simultaneously accept text, images, video clips, and audio as input, supporting multiple workflows such as generation, editing, mixing, and looping.
- Live-action portrait support: After uploading a photo of a real person as a reference image, the model can preserve facial identity and features, making it suitable for personalized content and character-driven storytelling.
- Multi-shot storytelling: A single prompt can generate coherent multi-shot videos while maintaining visual consistency across different camera positions and scene sequences.
- High-definition output: It supports 1080p and up to 2K resolution, with relatively high image clarity.
- Native audio: During video generation, it synchronously generates dialogue, ambient sound, and sound effects, and supports phoneme-level lip sync in more than 8 languages.
- Director control: It has virtual director capabilities and can perform camera movements such as push-pull zoom, focus shift, and tracking shots, with physics-aware motion.
- Core technology: Based on a 3D spatiotemporal DiT architecture, dual-anchor motion control (drawing on PixelDance research), and a native audiovisual fusion mechanism, audio and video are generated in a unified latent space without the need for post-alignment.
[How to use] After registering and logging in on the platform, you can try it for free. The workflow is: upload a reference image (optional) -> write a prompt -> generate with Seedance 2.0 -> download and share. Videos can be up to 30 seconds long, the aspect ratio can be adjusted, and upload formats support MP4, WebM, and QuickTime.
