Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator
Create controlled motion from a written scene or one start image. In SkyVid, choose 4–15 seconds, six aspect ratios, and 480p, 720p, or 1080p before continuing to the full workspace.
Native Seedance 2.0 supports broader audio and video references. This SkyVid page currently exposes text and one start image only. See ByteDance's model overview.
Why Seedance 2.0
Built for motion that has to hold together
Seedance 2.0 is most useful when the prompt describes a sequence, not just a look. Give the model an action order, a camera plan, and a destination frame.
Complex motion with a clear sequence
Describe multiple connected actions, subject interaction, and changes in shot scale instead of limiting the prompt to a single static moment.
Camera direction in natural language
Control the shot with practical film language such as tracking, orbit, pan, dolly, close-up, and slow motion.
Start-frame guided animation
Upload one image in SkyVid to anchor identity, composition, color, and scene design while the prompt directs motion.
Up to 15 seconds in SkyVid
Choose from seven durations between 4 and 15 seconds, six aspect ratios, and three currently enabled resolution tiers.
Workflow
Create a Seedance video in four decisions
The generator keeps the model, controls, and current credit requirement in one place. Configure the shot publicly; sign in only when you continue to generation.
- 01
Choose the starting point
Use text-to-video for a scene built from scratch, or image-to-video when composition and subject identity already exist.
- 02
Direct the shot
Write subject action first, then add camera movement, environment motion, lighting, pace, and the intended final frame.
- 03
Set the delivery format
Choose the aspect ratio, resolution, and duration that match the destination rather than generating one oversized master by default.
- 04
Review the exact cost
SkyVid calculates credits from the current configuration before sign-in and carries the draft into the full workspace when you continue.
Prompt patterns
Write motion, not a pile of adjectives
A useful Seedance prompt reads like compact shot direction. State what changes over time and where the shot should finish.
Keep movement readable
“Two fencers circle on a rain-soaked rooftop, exchange three fast strikes, then stop blade-to-blade. Low tracking shot follows their footwork, brief slow motion on impact, city lights reflecting in puddles, end on a tight two-shot.”
Action order + camera path + timing + ending state
Direct light and material
“A brushed-steel watch rotates slowly above dark stone. A narrow light sweeps across the bezel and reveals fine texture, macro camera arcs from the crown to the dial, restrained movement, premium studio contrast, finish on a centered hero frame.”
Object motion + light behavior + macro movement + final composition
Prompt only what should move
“Preserve the face, clothing, and framing. The subject looks up and gives a subtle smile while hair and loose fabric move in a light breeze. Slow dolly in, soft background parallax, natural blinking, settle into the original pose.”
Preservation + subject motion + camera motion + environmental motion

One workspace, more choices
Use Seedance when motion is the brief—switch when it is not
A model page should help you choose, not pretend one model wins every job. These alternatives stay in the same SkyVid workspace and credit system.

Seedance 2.0 FAQ
Answers describe the controls currently available on SkyVid and distinguish them from the native model's broader capability set.
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video generation model for text, image, audio, and video-guided creation. The current SkyVid workflow exposes its text-to-video and single-image-to-video modes.
Can I use Seedance 2.0 for text-to-video and image-to-video?
Yes. Choose Text to video to build a shot entirely from a prompt, or Image to video to upload one start image and direct how the subject, camera, and environment should move.
Which Seedance 2.0 resolutions are available on SkyVid?
SkyVid currently exposes 480p, 720p, 1080p for Seedance 2.0. The available credit cost updates when you change resolution, duration, or input mode.
How long can a Seedance 2.0 video be?
The current SkyVid controls offer 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 second clips. Choose a shorter duration for a focused single action or a longer duration when the shot needs setup and resolution.
How are Seedance 2.0 credits calculated?
Credits are calculated from the selected resolution, duration, and whether the generation starts from text or an image. The generator shows the exact requirement before you continue to the workspace.
Does SkyVid expose Seedance 2.0 audio and video references?
Not on this page. Although the native model supports broader multimodal reference workflows, SkyVid currently exposes a text prompt and, in image-to-video mode, one start image. The page does not promise controls that are not available in the product.
What should I include in a Seedance 2.0 prompt?
Describe the subject, action, environment, camera movement, lighting, pacing, and intended ending. For image-to-video, focus on motion and avoid redescribing details that are already fixed by the uploaded image.
Can I use a generated video commercially?
Usage rights depend on the current SkyVid terms, your plan, and the rights you hold in prompts and uploaded materials. Review the Terms and Conditions before publishing generated work commercially.
