Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generator from ByteDance that turns text, images, and reference inputs into multi-shot movies with consistent characters and cinematic 2K quality.
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 (also referred to as Seed Dance 2) is a multimodal AI video generation platform developed by ByteDance. It accepts text prompts, images, reference images, and first/last frame keyframes, and outputs multi-shot videos with synchronized audio, character consistency, and film-grade cinematography. The platform runs in the browser with a free tier available.
Key Features
- Multi-Shot Director — Script up to 6 shots per video, each with individual prompts, durations, and aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9, 5s), and the AI auto-fills narrative flow between them.
- Reference-Driven Consistency — Upload up to 3 reference images to lock character appearance, style, and color palette across all shots within a single generation.
- First + Last Frame Control — Define opening and closing keyframes to enforce precise transitions and visual continuity between scenes.
- Native Audio Generation — The AI generates synchronized ambient sound, sound effects, and tonal cues directly into each clip, eliminating separate sound design steps.
- Film-Grade Output — Supports up to 2K resolution (1080p on paid plans) with cinematic camera movements, precise prompt adherence, and options for 720p or 480p on free tier.
- Unified Workflows — Text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, and frame-to-video all available in the same interface, with no separate tool switching.
- Batch Generation & API Access — Paid plans include batch generation and API access for programmatic video creation at scale.
Who is it for?
