Seedance 2.0

ByteDance's flagship. 15s video with native audio in a single generation.

ByteDance's flagship video model. Picture and sound are generated together in one pass, so lip movements, effects, and music land in perfect sync. Up to 15 seconds with native audio, and up to 9 reference images to keep characters and scenes consistent shot to shot. Comes in four rungs: Mini for the lowest cost, Fast for quicker turnaround, Standard for the full flagship, and Cinematic, the premium high-bitrate version with roughly 3x the detail retention and output up to true 4K.

Cinema-grade AI video with native audio.

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's flagship video generation model. It uses a dual-branch Multi-Modal Diffusion Transformer: one branch generates video frames, the other generates audio waveforms, connected by a cross-attention bridge that synchronises them at every step. The result is video and audio created together in a single pass, not audio bolted on after the fact.

The multi-modal reference system is the standout capability. Feed Seedance 2.0 up to 9 reference images for character appearance and scene consistency. Use @1, @2 etc. in your prompt to direct specific references: '@1 walks through the market while @2 watches from a balcony.' The model decouples content from motion, letting you combine a character from one reference with camera movement from another. This is directing, not prompting.

Output reaches 15 seconds at 24fps with native dual-channel stereo audio. Flow Matching replaces traditional Gaussian diffusion with a more direct mathematical path from noise to output, delivering 30% faster generation than Seedance 1.5 while improving quality. 480p and 720p options are available for faster iteration at lower credit cost. The family runs in four rungs: Mini, the budget rung, at 480p/720p for the lowest cost; Fast for quicker turnaround; Standard for the full 1080p flagship; and Cinematic, the premium high-bitrate version. Cinematic is the same model delivered in a cinema-grade encode carrying roughly three times the data of a standard delivery, so skin texture, fabric, foliage, and fast motion hold their detail, with output up to true 4K. The workflow that earns its keep: iterate on the cheaper rungs until the shot is right, then re-run the winning prompt and references on Cinematic for the final take.

The four rungs: Mini, Fast, Standard, Cinematic

One family, four price-quality rungs, all with the same native audio and nine-image reference system. Mini is the budget rung (480p/720p) for volume iteration at the lowest cost. Fast trades a little fidelity for roughly half the generation time. Standard is the full flagship, up to 1080p and 4K. Cinematic is the premium high-bitrate version: the same model delivered in a cinema-grade encode with roughly 3x the detail retention, up to true 4K. The workflow: iterate on the cheaper rungs until the shot is right, then re-run the winning prompt and references on Cinematic for the final take. All four live in the model picker in the Video studio.

Audio and video in one pass

Most AI video models generate silent video and add audio separately. Seedance 2.0 generates both simultaneously. Lip movements map to phonemes, sound effects land on the correct frame, music follows visual rhythm natively. For dialogue, product narrations, and music-driven content, this eliminates the post-production audio sync step entirely.

Multi-modal references

Upload up to 9 reference images for character appearance and scene consistency. Use @1, @2 in your prompt to call specific references. Seedance 2.0 combines them into a coherent generation, decoupling content from motion so you can direct each reference independently.

Content filters: what to expect

Seedance 2.0 has the strictest content filters of any video model. ByteDance's filters reject roughly 1 in 3 prompts, including many innocent ones. Cinematic language (camera angles, lighting, lens specs) passes more reliably than plain descriptions. If a generation fails, Stensyl explains why and offers one-click retry with Kling O3 or Veo 3.1. That is the advantage of a multi-model platform.
