Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest multimodal AI video model, purpose-built for reference-driven creation. It synthesizes text, images, reference clips and audio into one generation — locking in characters, physics and camera language so every frame stays on-style.
Anchor scenes with images, video and audio so the model creates from your assets — no more prompt guessing.
Characters, products and style hold across every cut, from embroidery on a jacket to typography on a label.
Water, hair and complex action move with grounded weight — base capabilities significantly strengthened in 2.0.
Combine a character image, a background clip, an audio track and a text prompt — Seedance 2.0 synthesizes them with pinpoint accuracy.
Water flow, hair movement, weighty impacts — even text-to-video shots look professional and lifelike out of the box.
Locks in fine details to eliminate AI "drift" — your subjects stay identical from first second to last, no flickering.
Upload a reference video — Seedance 2.0 mimics the camera language, transitions and rhythm so you can recreate pro-grade VFX without a studio budget.
Reads complex storyboards and follows multi-beat narrative prompts — generations move with logical plot progression.
Extend any clip forward or backward in time with perfect environmental and character continuity — no obvious cuts.
Feed in a music track or voice line and the motion locks to its beat and mood — ideal for music videos and ads.
