Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2 is ByteDance's video model that turns text or images into moving video. Unlike tools that render silent clips, it can produce shots with dialogue and lip sync and generate the audio in the same pass, so a talking scene comes out finished instead of needing a second sound step. Alongside text-to-video, the model supports start and end frames plus multimodal references built from images, video, and audio, so you can steer a shot toward what you pictured rather than re-rolling the prompt until it lands. Output runs from 480p to 4K at 4 to 15 seconds, which covers everything from a quick social clip to a polished hero cut. On Kavel, Seedance runs through the KIE runtime, the credit estimate updates before you commit, and failed generations are never charged. It sits alongside faster, lower-cost variants, so you can test an idea cheaply and switch to the full model only when a clip earns the higher quality and resolution.
Describe the subject, motion, camera, and mood in one prompt, and the model turns that description into a moving shot with matching pacing.
Start from a text prompt, from start and end frames, or from image, video, and audio references when you want tighter control over the result.
Turn audio on and the model generates sound that matches the shot in the same run, so a spoken or musical clip finishes in one pass.

When Seedance 2 is the right pick
Reach for this model when you want video and sound in one generation instead of two, and when reference material should steer the shot rather than luck. The three variants let you trade quality for speed and cost without changing your workflow. That flexibility matters most when a project mixes quick social cuts with a few hero shots, because the same prompt and the same references carry across every variant without a change to your workflow.
Audio in a single generation
The model generates matching audio in the same pass, so dialogue and lip-sync clips need no separate step.
Image, video & audio references
Beyond start and end frames, it accepts image, video, and audio references to direct the result.
Fast & Mini for speed and cost
Use the full model for quality, or the Fast and Mini variants when speed or cost matters most.

Seedance 2 FAQ
Common questions about the Seedance 2 AI video generator.
Seedance 2 is ByteDance's video model that turns text or images into video. It supports start and end frames plus image, video, and audio references, and it can generate audio in the same pass. Output runs 480p–4K at 4 to 15 seconds.
Yes. Turn on generate_audio and the model adds sound that matches the shot in the same generation, which suits dialogue and lip-sync clips without a second step.
Credits depend on resolution, length, and input. For example, 720p at 5 seconds is about 308 credits. The estimate appears before you generate, and failed generations are free.
Yes. Pass start and end frames or image and video references, and the model generates moving video from them, which is the fastest way to animate a still you already have.
Describe the subject, motion, camera work, and mood in detail. Adding references keeps the composition and flow stable across the clip.
Fast and Mini are faster, lower-cost versions of the model. Use the full Seedance 2 for quality, or Fast and Mini when speed or cost matters most.
