ByteDance's most powerful video model. Go from a text prompt or image to a 20-second cinematic clip — with synchronized audio, consistent characters, and realistic motion.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest video generation model, built on a dual-branch diffusion transformer architecture that generates video and audio at the same time — not as separate steps. The result is clips where dialogue, sound effects, and background music are locked to the visuals from the very first frame.
The model handles up to four input types — text, image, video, and audio — and supports multi-shot storytelling that keeps characters, style, and scene continuity consistent across a full sequence. With physics-aware training and 2K output at up to 20 seconds per generation, it's a meaningful step forward for AI video that actually looks like something you'd want to use.

Three core capabilities that set Seedance 2.0 apart from previous models and most alternatives.
Built on a dual-branch diffusion transformer, Seedance 2.0 produces dialogue, ambient sound, and music in sync with the visuals — in a single generation pass.
Generate several connected scenes in one run, with the same characters, style, and visual continuity carried through every cut — no manual stitching required.
The model is trained to flag implausible movement, so gravity, fabric drape, and fluid behavior look noticeably more grounded than earlier AI video.
Three steps from prompt to finished video — with audio included.
Pick Text, Image, or Video mode. Write your prompt or upload up to 12 reference files — images, clips, or audio.
Choose duration (up to 20s), resolution (up to 1080p), aspect ratio, and whether to lock the camera or let it move.
The model runs and returns your video with audio baked in. Preview it, then download when you're happy.
Three things the model does well that make a real difference in output quality.
Seedance 2.0 generates a sequence of connected shots in one pass — same character, same clothing, same visual style across every cut. No separate generations to match up, no continuity drift.
The model produces dialogue, crowd noise, music, and ambient sound at the same time as the visuals — synced at the frame level. What you hear matches what you see without any extra work.
Physics-aware training penalizes movement that couldn't happen in the real world — so fabric drapes correctly, bodies move with weight, and collisions actually resolve. It's still AI video, but the gap with real footage is narrower.
From solo filmmakers to brand teams — Seedance 2.0 fits wherever you need cinematic video without a full production setup.
Turn a script or storyboard into connected scenes with consistent characters. Good for filmmakers who want to prototype or produce short narrative content quickly.
Go from a product description and image to a finished promo clip — visuals, voiceover, and music in one pass. Useful for teams that need content volume without a full production pipeline.
Produce illustrated news summaries or documentary-style narratives with synced narration. Practical for publishers who want video output without a dedicated video team.
