Seedance 2.0 was released April 14, 2026 as the second-generation ByteDance Seedance video model. The standard variant targets the highest output quality in the 2.0 lineup.
Input modes span text-to-video, image-to-video, multimodal reference-to-video (combining image, video, and audio references), and video editing and extension. One model covers the full range of creative workflows where Seedance 1.0 Pro required separate variants.
Output supports 16:9 aspect ratio with 720p resolution in examples shown, and clip durations from five to 10 seconds. Seedance 2.0 maintains motion stability and fine detail across frames, handles complex scenes with facial expressions and physical interactions, and renders text inside generated video.
Native audio generation with multilingual support lets you produce dialogue, sound effects, and ambient audio without a separate text-to-speech or audio compositing step. Professional camera movements and multi-shot composition extend creative control beyond single static shots.
