Stop describing everything in words. Seedance 2.0 accepts text plus images, video clips, and audio references — then generates synchronized picture and sound with stronger motion stability and instruction following than Seedance 1.5.

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance Seed’s next-generation video creation model after Seedance 1.5. Official launch materials describe a unified multimodal audio-video architecture: you can combine natural language with up to nine images, three video clips, and three audio clips in one generation. The model references composition, camera language, motion rhythm, and sound characteristics from those assets — not text alone. On ToVideo you can run Seedance 2.0 (plus Fast and Mini variants) for text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video, with credits shown before Generate.
Text sets intent. Images lock identity, wardrobe, product, and frame. Video clips teach camera path and action timing. Audio guides mood, dialogue cadence, or beat. Official docs allow mixing these within a single request so directors can show rather than over-describe.
ByteDance highlights higher usability on complex interaction and motion scenes versus 1.5 — more stable multi-subject action, cleaner landings and timing, fewer structural breakdowns. That matters for sports, dance, product handling, and any brief where limbs and props must obey gravity.
Audio is generated jointly with video rather than bolted on later. Official materials call out stereo immersion, ambient effects, dialogue alignment, and better response for singing or dialect scenarios. On ToVideo, toggle generate-audio when the brief needs sound in the same export.
Seedance 2.0 is positioned for instruction-following generation plus video continuation and editing-style control — keep subjects consistent while you extend a take or revise a beat. Use Reference when uploads define the non-negotiables; use Text when you are still exploring language alone.
Choose Seedance 2.0 when short text-only loops underspecify the brief — when a face, product, camera orbit, or soundtrack cue already exists as a file and must survive into the final clip.
Map official strengths to concrete ToVideo actions: pick a mode, attach only the references you need, set duration and audio, then iterate.
Write subject, camera, lighting, and beat order. Best when no locked still exists. Keep one primary motion idea per prompt.
Animate product or portrait frames while preserving identity. Prefer sharp uploads; say what must stay fixed versus what may move.
Combine images, clips, and audio when brand look, choreography, or rhythm must follow uploads. Label each asset’s role in the prompt.
Enable joint soundtrack, ambience, or dialogue timing in one pass — or disable when you will score externally.
Official materials emphasize high-quality multi-shot output in this window. Choose seconds to match ads, hooks, or short story beats.
Ship for landscape or vertical feeds. Explore at lower quality, then raise resolution for hero exports once the take is locked.
