Seedance 2.0 supports mixed input of four modalities — image, video, audio and text — to achieve precise control. Users can freely combine different materials to “direct” the model and generate their desired styles.
- •Text, image, video, and audio inputs
- •Mix several references in one generation
- •Useful for storyboards and pitch workflows
- •Carry camera and sound cues forward
- •More control than prompt text alone
Multi-shot sequencing in one generation
This model is built for short sequences, not just a single hero frame with motion. It is especially useful when continuity between cuts matters, like ads, trailers, and mini narrative scenes.
- •Designed for short-form sequences
- •Up to 15 seconds per generation
- •Connected shots from one prompt
- •Better continuity across cuts
- •Strong fit for promos and micro-stories
Native stereo audio, not a separate add-on
Audio is part of the generation process instead of a separate stitching step. ByteDance highlights dual-channel stereo plus parallel tracks for music, ambience, and voice, which helps the soundtrack land closer to the visual timing from the start.
- •Dual-channel stereo output
- •Supports music, ambience, and voice
- •Better sound-to-action alignment
- •Useful for audiovisual drafts
- •Less manual cleanup after render
Smoother motion in complex scenes
Official materials focus heavily on motion stability, multi-subject interaction, and physical plausibility. Seedance 2.0 stands out when people, objects, and camera movement all need to work together without the scene falling apart.
- •More stable human motion
- •Stronger multi-subject interaction
- •Fewer obvious physics glitches
- •Better for sports, dance, and action
- •Cleaner movement under fast camera motion

How it works
1
Write the scene brief
Start with the subject, setting, action, and camera behavior you want. If you are building multiple shots, describe the sequence and mood so Seedance 2.0 has a clear narrative to follow.
2
Add references with intent
Upload only the assets that should influence the result: images for characters or composition, video for motion or camera language, audio for rhythm or sound direction. Keep each reference purposeful so the model does not get mixed signals.
3
Generate, extend, and refine
Review the first clip for motion clarity, subject consistency, and audio timing. Then revise the prompt, swap references, or extend the shot until the sequence lands the pace and detail you need.

Frequently asked questions
What is Seedance 2.0?▾
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video creation model, officially launched on February 12, 2026. It generates short videos from text alone or from mixed references like images, video clips, and audio, with a strong focus on multi-shot continuity and built-in sound.
What inputs does Seedance 2.0 accept?▾
Seedance 2.0 supports text, image, audio, and video inputs. Official materials say it can work with up to 9 images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio clips alongside your prompt, which makes it unusually flexible for reference-driven video creation.
Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio?▾
Yes. Audio is one of the model's defining strengths, and ByteDance describes it as joint audio-video generation with dual-channel stereo support. That means ambience, effects, music, and voice can be aligned with the visuals in the same render.
How long and what resolution are Seedance 2.0 videos?▾
Seedance 2.0 is built for short-form clips rather than long renders. ByteDance's paper says direct generation runs from 4 to 15 seconds with native 480p and 720p output, though some platforms may package that into different delivery presets.
Can Seedance 2.0 keep characters consistent across shots?▾
It is better suited to multi-shot continuity than many one-clip-first video models, especially when you use reference images or planned boards. You should still expect some iteration on crowded scenes, wardrobe changes, or longer shot chains.
Can Seedance 2.0 edit or extend existing videos?▾
Yes. ByteDance's launch materials specifically call out video editing and video extension, including targeted changes to clips, characters, actions, and storylines. That makes it useful for continuing a shot or revising a generated scene without rebuilding everything from zero.
How much does Seedance 2.0 cost?▾
Cost usually scales with duration, resolution, and whether the workflow uses heavier reference inputs or audio. In practice, compare platforms by the price of an approved short clip, not just the headline per-generation number.
Can I use Seedance 2.0 commercially?▾
Commercial use depends on the platform terms and whether you have rights to every input asset and intended output use. BytePlus says it does not claim ownership of output, but it also makes you responsible for permissions, legality, and any necessary clearances.
How does Seedance 2.0 compare with Kling or Sora?▾
Seedance 2.0's clearest strengths are multimodal references, multi-shot sequencing, and native audio generation. If those controls matter most to you, it is a very strong option; if you prefer a different ecosystem or a simpler one-prompt workflow, another model may fit better.
Can I use real people as references in Seedance 2.0?▾
Use caution here. ByteDance's official launch notes say real human portrait references require identity verification or prior legal authorization, and BytePlus's terms place responsibility on the user to secure the necessary rights and clearances.
