Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator
Direct multi-shot video with text, image, video, and audio references, native stereo sound, and precise creative control. The Seedance 2.0 AI video generator just below lets you create from a prompt, an image, a pair of frames or supported references.
Try Seedance 2.0 online
The full MuseGen video workspace is built in here with Seedance 2.0 already selected. You can still try other variants or change models and keep the rest of your setup.
You need an account to generate, and credits depend on the model, variant, length, resolution and other settings you choose. Credits for failed tasks come back automatically.
Seedance 2.0 explained: what it is and when to use it
Know where Seedance 2.0 fits before you invest time in references, prompts and renders at full resolution.
Seedance 2.0 runs on one multimodal architecture for sound and picture together. A single project can join a written brief to still references, movement samples, sound cues and recorded voices, with the prompt giving each file its own job. It shines when a scene needs more than one starting image.
For commercial directors, agencies, e-commerce teams, musicians, game developers and story-driven filmmakers, the real benefit is not one headline score. It is how Seedance 2.0 pairs Text, image, frames, multi-reference, video to video, editing and extension with A text brief, up to 9 images, up to 3 clips and up to 3 audio files. That pairing decides whether the model can hold on to a visual direction you have prepared, or has to imagine most of the scene from words.
Here, research and production happen in the same place. Read the official specs, look through the source material, use the prompt structure, then create in the built-in generator. It opens on Seedance 2.0, and everything else MuseGen offers — uploads, progress, history, reuse and downloads — is still there.

Making a video with Seedance 2.0, step by step
Take an idea from first prompt to a configured Seedance 2.0 render without leaving the model page.
1
Write the shot
Write a prompt covering the subject, action, setting, camera, look, pacing and audio. Got references? Upload them and say what each one is there for.
2
Set up Seedance 2.0
Leave Seedance 2.0 selected, pick the variant, mode, length, frame shape, resolution and audio options that suit the shot, then look at the credit cost displayed.
3
Render, check, reuse
Start the job, watch it progress beside the generator, check the finished clip, then reuse the same settings for a fresh attempt or download the file.
What sets the Seedance 2.0 AI video generator apart
The core capabilities that decide how Seedance 2.0 deals with direction, references, movement, audio and final delivery.
Four kinds of input
Combine words, pictures, video and sound in one direction rather than forcing every decision into the text.
References for everything
Point to examples for layout, characters, props, movement, camera language, effects, voice, tempo and sound design.
Several shots in one clip
Plan a short sequence with evolving framing, acting and locations in one video of up to 15 seconds.
Edit and extend footage
Carry an existing video forward, or use plain instructions to change subjects, actions, shots and story.
Native stereo audio
Speech, background music, ambience and synchronised effects come out as part of one audiovisual composition.
Mini, Fast and Standard
Start with quick Mini concepts, iterate on Fast and finish on high-resolution Standard without changing how you work.
Prompting Seedance 2.0 for video you can control
A good Seedance 2.0 prompt reads like a short production brief: a subject, actions in order, a camera plan, an art direction and a soundtrack.
Prompt template you can reuse
Subject + actions in order + setting + camera + lighting + look + timing + dialogue and sound + what must stay consistent
Sample Seedance 2.0 prompt
“Image 1 is the dancer, Image 2 is the costume, Video 1 sets the orbiting camera and Audio 1 sets the tempo. Make a 12-second dance film: a still close-up, a sharp spin onto a sunlit rooftop, and a last wide pose against the skyline. Keep the same face and costume from start to finish.”
Give each reference a job
Say which picture sets the character, which clip sets the movement and which sound file sets the tempo or the voice.
Write in timed beats
Split a long request into an opening, a build, a transition and a closing image so the sequence can be planned.
Keep constants apart from changes
Name plainly what must stay the same and what may change, travel or develop as the clip plays.
Seedance 2.0 modes, reference options and output settings
Choose the tier and format that match your stage of the project. Draft settings help you find the shot; premium settings finish a direction that is already working.

Working within what generative video can do
AI video behaves best when each prompt carries one clear visual idea. Check the important details before you publish, and treat a first render as a directed take you can improve.
Busy interactions between several characters, fast objects crossing the frame, legible lettering, brand marks, fingers and exact counts of things can still change from take to take. Lean on clear references, keep crowded action simple and check continuity frame by frame.
More pixels are no substitute for art direction. Nail the story beat, framing, motion and sound on an inexpensive setting first, then move the best version up to a premium tier or a higher resolution.
Seedance 2.0 AI video generator: your questions answered
What kind of model is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generation model from ByteDance. Seedance 2.0 runs on one multimodal architecture for sound and picture together. A single project can join a written brief to still references, movement samples, sound cues and recorded voices, with the prompt giving each file its own job. It shines when a scene needs more than one starting image. On MuseGen the full generator sits right here, letting you go from reading about the model to creating with it without switching workspaces.
What generation modes are available in Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 offers Text, image, frames, multi-reference, video to video, editing and extension. That means you can begin from a written idea, fix the first frame with a picture, or bring in extra references when the layout, the identity or the motion needs tighter control.
What lengths and resolutions does Seedance 2.0 offer?
Clips run 4–15 seconds, with output at 480p, 720p, 1080p and as high as 4K. Use a lower resolution while you explore ideas, then switch to the highest sensible resolution once you are ready to judge fine detail or hand the shot over.
Does Seedance 2.0 produce sound?
Seedance 2.0 handles Native stereo speech, music, ambience and effects. Write speech, room tone, score and sound effects into the prompt on purpose so the soundtrack backs up the on-screen action and the emotional pace of the scene.
Which files can the Seedance 2.0 AI video generator accept?
It takes A text brief, up to 9 images, up to 3 clips and up to 3 audio files. For references it supports Stills, footage, sound files, scripts or storyboards. Tell the prompt what each uploaded file is for rather than hoping the model guesses which image governs identity, style, composition or motion.
Who is Seedance 2.0 best suited to?
Seedance 2.0 suits commercial directors, agencies, e-commerce teams, musicians, game developers and story-driven filmmakers especially well. The right pick still comes down to the individual shot: use the official specs, features, examples and prompt tips on this page to judge whether its mix of control, pace, resolution, audio and references fits the job.
How can I get better results from a Seedance 2.0 prompt?
A dependable prompt covers the subject, the action, the place, the camera, the light, the look, the timing and the sound. List events in the order they happen, put exact dialogue in quotes, and say what has to stay consistent. If you upload references, name each one.
Can I generate with Seedance 2.0 right here?
Yes. The complete Seedance 2.0 generator is built into this page just below the hero. Pick text, an image, two frames or references as needed, set the available options, check the credit cost shown, and start generating without ever leaving this page.
