Seedance 2.0

*Seedance 2.0 does not support real-person face assets yet. Please use AI portraits or anime-style assets for creation.

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest Seed-team video model, built for creators who want cinematic results with real control—clear prompt following, cleaner motion, and multi-shot sequences that feel planned instead of stitched together. It supports both text-to-video and image-to-video, with native audio baked into the workflow so you can go from idea to a complete clip in one pass.

ext-to-Video: When You Start from A Script
Use T2V when you want the model to invent the visuals from scratch—scene design, framing, and motion—based on your text.

Best for

l Short narratives (a moment, a twist, a reveal).

l Ad concepts and product storytelling.

l Cinematic mood pieces.

l Multi-shot sequences where each shot has a purpose.

Prompting that works

Write it like a shot plan:

l What we see (subject + action)

l Where/when (setting + time)

l How it's filmed (lens, framing, camera move)

l How it feels (mood, pace)

l What we hear (optional audio cues)

If you want multiple shots, explicitly label them (Shot 1/2/3). Seedance is built to respect that structure.

Image-to-Video: When You Already Have a Hero Frame
Use I2V when you have a strong still—portrait, key art, product shot—and you want to animate it without losing what made it good.

What it's designed for

l Animating a still into a dynamic clip while preserving composition/style.

l Expanding one image into a broader sequence (shot progression, camera movement, narrative flow).

l Higher consistency and reduced flicker/morphing compared to earlier models.

How to get better results

l Start with a clean, high-quality image (clear subject, readable lighting).

l Choose one camera move ("slow push-in" beats "orbit + whip pan + zoom").

l Add a short text prompt that defines motion and mood, not just style.

Copy-Ready Prompt Patterns
A clean ad-style sequence

Shot 1: Wide establishing shot of a minimalist studio, soft key light, slow pan.

Shot 2: Medium shot—product on pedestal, subtle haze, slow push-in.

Shot 3: Close-up on label, highlight sweep across glass, end on a hero frame.

Audio: soft room tone, subtle whoosh on transitions.

A story beat

Shot 1: Rainy street at night, neon reflections, slow tracking shot.

Shot 2: Close-up—character glances back, tense expression, shallow depth of field.

Shot 3: Cutaway—footsteps splash through a puddle, then fade to black.

Audio: distant traffic, rain, one sharp footstep accent.

These "shot blocks" are the easiest way to keep intent clear and reduce randomness.
