Make AI videos with Seedance 2.0
Seedance 2.0 is one of ByteDance's Seedance models. Seedance is ByteDance's family of video models, known for lively, coherent motion, characters that stay the same from shot to shot, and sound made together with the picture.
Full-quality Seedance 2.0: strong motion and consistent characters, and the only Seedance in Studio that goes to 1080p. Each shot runs up to 15 seconds; longer clips are made as linked shots, each continuing from the last frame of the one before.

Prompt tips

- Seedance often refuses start images of realistic-looking people. For a photo of a person, Kling 4.0 or Wan 3.0 usually accept it.
