What it's good for

Try it with one of these

Press “Try this” and chatmodel opens with Seedance 2.0 selected and the message already written. Change any word you like.

A walk through a garden

“A slow walk along a gravel path in an English garden in June. Roses and foxgloves sway, bees move between flowers and a fountain splashes ahead. Camera moves forward at walking pace. Sound of birds and water.”

Try this

Storm over the sea

“Dark clouds roll over a grey sea. Waves build up and crash on a stone pier, rain starts to fall and a lighthouse blinks in the distance. Wide shot, slow push-in. Sound of wind and waves.”

Try this

Grandma's kitchen

“A warm kitchen on a Sunday. A pot of soup bubbles on the stove, steam rises past the window and a wooden spoon stirs slowly. Close-up, then the camera pulls back. Sound of bubbling and a radio.”

Try this

Lanterns on a river

“Paper lanterns float slowly down a calm river at dusk, their light reflected in the water. People on the bank watch quietly. Low camera near the water. Soft sound of water and distant music.”

In plain words

Seedance 2.0 turns a description, a photo, or a pair of pictures (a first and a last) into a clip with sound. You pick a length from 4 to 15 seconds.

What makes it the pick of its family is sharpness: it can make clips in 4K, which none of the other Seedance models in chatmodel offer.

How to get the most out of it

  1. Use the extra seconds for slow movement. A walk, a pan across a view, clouds building. Slow scenes fill 15 seconds better than busy ones.
  2. Describe sounds in order. “Rain starts, then thunder far away” helps the sound follow the picture.
  3. Only choose 4K when you need it. For a phone, 720p or 1080p is plenty.
  4. Make a picture first for a specific look. The image library is a good place for ideas.

How it compares with its siblings

Seedance 2.0 Fast has the same lengths and sound but is made to be quicker, with 720p as its sharpest size. Seedance 2.5 is newer and goes up to 30 seconds, also at 720p. The older Seedance V1.5 Pro stops at 12 seconds, and Seedance V1.0 Pro Fast is silent.

When to pick another model

For clips longer than 15 seconds, choose Seedance 2.5 or Wan V3.0. Another 4K option with sound is Kling V3.0. To change a clip you already have, try Grok Imagine Video.
