Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's AI video generation model available on Kinovi, producing 4–15 second clips from text, images, video references, and audio inputs with consistent character and motion control.
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generator developed by ByteDance and hosted on the Kinovi platform. It takes text prompts, up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio tracks as input and outputs cinematic video clips up to 15 seconds. The model supports multiple resolutions from 480p to 4K and offers reference video modes for motion and camera replication.
Key Features
- Multi-input prompting — Combine text, up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio tracks in a single generation, using @ tags to assign roles like starting frame, camera reference, or rhythm source.
- Reference video control — Upload a reference clip to replicate its camera path, motion, and timing while swapping characters and environments.
- Face and portrait support — Native face handling delivers consistent character identity across frames with improved facial expressions and body language.
- Music beat sync — Audio inputs drive cuts and motion alignment to the beat, enabling automated music video rhythm.
- Seamless extension and editing — Fill narrative gaps from storyboard frames, extend existing clips without regenerating the full video, or edit a single segment.
- Resolution tiers — Available in 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4K, with corresponding per-second pricing; 480p starts at $0.0707/s via Kinovi.
- Cost savings — 38% lower cost than Fal.ai Pro (per Kinovi), with no watermark and commercial rights included on all outputs.
Who is it for?
- Brand advertisers — Generate consistent character-driven ads with repeated product placements across multiple scenes while maintaining face and outfit consistency.
- Short drama and music video creators — Input storyboard images and audio tracks to produce beat-synced narrative clips with natural character emotions.
- VFX and animation studios — Use reference video to capture complex camera moves, then swap subjects and backgrounds for iterative iteration without re-rendering the full sequence.
What can you do with Seedance 2.0?
- Storyboard-to-video — Upload sequential storyboard frames and add audio to produce a coherent short scene without manual animation or keyframing.
- Clip extension and inpainting — Extend an existing 5-second clip to 15 seconds or edit a specific segment while keeping the rest unchanged using copy-by-reference.
- Template replication — Copy-by-reference recreates transitions and pacing from an example video, letting you swap characters and text while preserving the original structure.
