What Seedance 2.0 can do

Six things Seedance 2.0 does that the previous generation couldn’t.

Image-to-video

Animate any still into cinematic motion

Upload a reference image and Seedance 2.0 generates a clip with natural motion, accurate physics and realistic lighting. Strong fit for product reveals and talent animation.

Start & end frame

Lock the open and the close

Provide both the first and last frame. Seedance 2.0 fills the in-between with smooth, intentional motion - useful for storyboards, brand stings and approved opening and closing shots.

Up to 9 reference images

Multi-image subject and style control

Upload multiple reference images to anchor character appearance, environment tone or brand aesthetic across a render. Seedance 2.0 synthesises all inputs into a consistent clip.

Text-to-video

Prompt-driven cinematic storytelling

Describe the scene, the cast and the camera move. Seedance 2.0 is purpose-built for multi-shot cinematic output - not single static frames that barely move.

Realistic human motion

Natural body language and facial expression

Seedance 2.0 is trained specifically for realistic human motion: gait, gesture, expression and interaction. The gap between AI video and live footage narrows considerably at 1080p.

Camera language

Push, pan, orbit on cue

Direct the lens through the scene with prompt-level camera language. Push in for intimacy, pull out for reveal, orbit for hero product shots - all respected through the full render.

Spec sheet

The numbers, plainly.

Resolution

Up to 1080p native on Standard. Up to 720p on Fast. Both are sharp enough for social, pitch decks and client approvals.

Aspect ratios

16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9 - all available. The platform respects your choice throughout the rest of the studio.

Clip length

5 to 10 seconds per render. The pricing meter shows per-second cost upfront so longer clips never surprise you.

Inputs

Text prompt, optional first frame, optional last frame, or up to 9 reference images for style and subject control.

Variants

Standard (1080p, 25 credits) and Fast (720p, 15 credits). Switch freely - same controls, different speed-cost trade-off.

Where it earns its credits

Seedance 2.0 is the right tool when…

Image-to-motion product reveals

Animate a packshot or lifestyle photo into a 1080p hero reveal for ecommerce, retail and D2C. Faster than booking a shoot for every drop.

Multi-shot social campaigns

Use multi-image reference input to keep a character or brand look consistent across multiple clips. Lock the visual language, vary the scene.

Storyboard-to-video pitches

Lock open and close frames, let Seedance 2.0 build the in-between. Useful for client approvals before going to live shoot or animation production.

Rapid iteration with Fast

Generate 720p route options at 15 credits each. Narrow the brief before committing to a 1080p Standard render at 25 credits.
