Output up to 4K
Seedance 2.0 renders at 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K. 4K output is 3840 × 2160, sharp enough for large screens and for cropping in the edit — a 5-second 4K clip costs 1,040 credits, so iterate at 480p or 720p first.

What Is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's multimodal video model, released by the Seed team on February 12, 2026. Outside China it is also known as Dreamina Seedance 2.0, the name used in CapCut. It generates video and sound together, at resolutions up to 4K.
Seedance 2.0 Fast is its quicker, lower-cost version, capped at 720p. Both take text, a start image, or image, video and audio references, and both are in the generator above. Its successor, Seedance 2.5, adds longer clips. Visiojoy is an independent platform, not affiliated with ByteDance.

Why Use Seedance 2.0
Four things it does well.
Sound generated with the picture
Dialogue, effects, ambience and music are created in the same pass as the video. Audio is on by default and can be switched off when you plan to add your own track.
Image, video and audio references
Combine up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio clips to fix a character, copy a camera move or match a voice. With reference videos, a lower per-second rate applies to the reference length plus the output.
First and last frame control
Animate a photo from its first frame, and add an end frame in the AI Video workspace for a controlled finish. Choose from 6 aspect ratios including 21:9, or Auto.
Seedance 2.0 vs Seedance 2.0 Fast
Same model family, two price points. Fast generates quicker and costs about 39% less per second, but stops at 720p. Length, audio and references work the same on both.
A practical rule: test ideas and social clips on Fast, then rerun the keeper on Seedance 2.0 when you need 1080p or 4K. Pick either one from the model menu, or open the workspace with Seedance 2.0 Fast selected.
| Seedance 2.0 | Seedance 2.0 Fast | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Standard | Faster, for quick iteration |
| Resolution | 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K | 480p and 720p |
| 480p price | 19 credits / s | 12 credits / s |
| 720p price | 41 credits / s | 25 credits / s |
| Length, audio, references | Same | Same |
| Pick it for | Final renders, 1080p and 4K | Drafts, tests and social clips |
Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video and References
Three ways to start a clip, on both Seedance 2.0 and 2.0 Fast. The generator above switches mode based on what you upload; end frames and the full settings panel are in the AI Video workspace.
Text to video
You upload
Nothing — just a prompt
Describe the scene, motion and sound. Auto framing or 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9.
Image to video
You upload
1 start image, optional end image
The clip opens on your photo. A short prompt is required — say what moves. Add the end frame in the AI Video workspace.
Reference to video
You upload
Up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio clips
Mix looks, motion and sound. Reference video and audio can each total 15 seconds. Can't be combined with a first frame.
How to Use Seedance 2.0
1
Describe the shot and the sound
Subject, action, one camera move, lighting — then dialogue in quotes and the sounds you expect.
2
Choose Seedance 2.0 or 2.0 Fast
Both are in the generator's model menu. Draft on Fast at 480p and 720p, then switch to Seedance 2.0 for 1080p or 4K.
3
Set length, ratio and resolution, then generate
Pick 4–15 seconds. The credit cost shows before you start; download the finished video from the AI Video workspace.
Seedance 2.0 Prompt Library
Seedance 2.0 and 2.0 Fast prompts for 4K shots, ads, quick drafts and references. Click one to load it into the generator, then match the model and settings shown on the card.
How to write a good Seedance 2.0 prompt
- Draft with Fast, finish with 2.0. Both versions read prompts the same way. Test ideas with Seedance 2.0 Fast at 480p, then run the winner on Seedance 2.0 at 1080p or 4K.
- Save 4K for the final render. 4K costs much more per second. Use it once framing, motion and timing are right, and name the fine detail you want to see.
- One shot, one camera move. In 4 to 15 seconds, a single clear action with one camera move — push-in, orbit, tracking shot — reads better than several cuts.
- Quote the dialogue, list the sounds. Audio is on by default. Put spoken lines in quotes and end the prompt with the effects and ambience you expect.
- Give each reference a job. With references, say what each file is for: the face from one image, the camera move from the video, the voice from the audio clip.
