Getting Started

Three-Step Creation Process

1. Upload References

Start by uploading your reference materials. Seedance 2.0 accepts images, videos, or audio files alongside a text prompt describing your desired scene. The more detail you provide, the better the results.

You can combine:

• Up to 9 images for composition and character reference
• Up to 3 videos (up to 15s total) for motion and camera transfer
• Up to 3 audio files for beat sync and lip-sync support
• Text prompts for precise control

2. Generate Video

Once you've set up your references, click generate and watch Seedance 2.0 bring your ideas to life. The model processes all input types together and creates cohesive, professional-quality video content with cinematic motion and synced audio.

3. Download and Use

Your generated video is exportable as a clean, watermark-free MP4 file, ready for TikTok, YouTube, ads, or any platform you prefer. Videos are completely watermark-free and commercially usable from day one.

Multimodal Input Control

What sets Seedance 2.0 apart is its true multimodal capability — it reads and combines text, image, video, and audio inputs simultaneously.

Text Prompts

Write detailed prompts that describe the scene you're envisioning. Rather than listing keywords, try painting a picture with words. Narrative, descriptive prompts consistently outperform generic ones.

Example prompt structure:

[shot type] of [subject], [action or expression], set in
[environment]. The scene is illuminated by [lighting description],
creating a [mood] atmosphere. The camera [camera movement description].

In practice:

A tracking shot follows a woman in a red dress walking through a rainy Tokyo alley at night. Neon signs cast colorful reflections on wet pavement. The camera glides smoothly beside her, emphasizing the flowing fabric of her dress against the moody atmosphere.

Image References

Upload up to 9 reference images to guide composition and character appearance. This feature is particularly useful for:

• Placing products on models or in specific scenes
• Maintaining character consistency across multiple shots
• Establishing style and mood references

Example workflow:

Take the character appearance from the first image and the clothing style from the second image. Generate a cinematic scene where this character is walking through a modern art museum.

Video References

Upload up to 3 videos (up to 15s combined) to transfer motion and camera work to your new content. Seedance 2.0 accurately replicates:

• Camera movements and choreography
• Character motion and blocking
• Scene pacing and transitions
• Cinematic movement patterns from reference footage

Example workflow:

Use the camera movement from the first video and the character's action from the second video to generate a new scene with these motions applied to the character in the reference image.

Audio References

Upload up to 3 audio files to create synchronized output:

• Beat-matched cuts that align with music rhythm
• Lip-sync for dialogue generation
• Sound effects that match video action
• Background music that complements the visual mood

Precision Camera Control

Seedance 2.0 learns complex camera movements from reference clips and applies them to your new content.

Available Camera Movements

• Tracking Dolly — Smooth following shots with consistent focus
• Pan & Tilt — Horizontal and vertical sweeps
• Zoom In/Out — Dramatic focal length changes
• Match Cuts — Precise transitions between scenes
• Whip Pans — Fast, dynamic camera transitions
• Orbital Shots — Circular camera movements around subjects

In practice:

Upload a reference video showing a smooth dolly tracking shot through an industrial corridor. Seedance 2.0 will replicate this camera movement with your new content, maintaining cinematic quality and professional pacing.

Multi-Shot Storytelling

Generate structured sequences with multiple shots while maintaining consistency across the entire video.

What Gets Preserved

• Character Consistency — Stable appearance for faces, clothing, and visual styles throughout
• Scene Continuity — Logical progression across shots
• Camera Logic — Consistent camera angles and movements
• Visual Rhythm — Cohesive pacing and transition timing

Storyboard to Video Workflow

Seedance 2.0 reads storyboard grids and generates cohesive video sequences:

1. Upload a storyboard with scene cards and camera angles
2. Add character reference panels
3. Generate complete cinematic clips with consistent performers

Audio Synchronization

Built-in audio-video synchronization handles the technical details for you.

Lip-Sync

Generate synchronized dialogue with accurate mouth movements:

1. Upload audio containing the dialogue
2. Reference character images or videos
3. Seedance 2.0 generates matching mouth movements automatically

Beat-Matched Editing

Align cuts, motion, and scene energy to music rhythm:

1. Upload your audio track with visible waveform
2. Specify beat timing and emphasis points
3. Generate music-video pacing with tightly synced cuts

Sound Effects

Generate sound effects that match video action:

• Impact sounds for dynamic movements
• Environmental audio matching scenes
• Atmospheric soundscapes
