Stop Booking Photographers. Start Generating Video with Seedance 2.0
Ten ad variants by lunch. A multi-shot short film by Friday. A viral-template remake before bed. Seedance 2.0 turns prompts, photos, and reference clips into cinematic 1080p video — with audio, characters, and camera work that hold up.
What Makes Seedance 2.0 Different
Six capabilities that set Seedance 2.0 apart from every other mainstream AI video model — and why one prompt actually delivers a finished shot, not raw material you still have to fix.
True Multi-Reference Input
Feed it text, images, video clips, and audio clips in a single generation. No other mainstream model lets you combine all four reference types at once — which is why camera moves, subject identity, and soundtrack all land in one pass instead of four.
Native Multi-Shot Output
One request, multiple continuous shots. Characters, wardrobe, and lighting stay locked across cuts — so a three-shot sequence actually looks like one sequence, not three separate generations stitched together.
Synchronized Audio Generation
Video and audio are generated jointly, not bolted on after. Lip-sync dialogue, ambient sound, and music come out already aligned — across multiple languages — with no separate audio pass needed.
Character & Style Consistency
Faces, outfits, products, even on-screen text stay stable across frames and across shots. The drift, flicker, and identity collapse that plagued earlier AI video is largely solved here.
Motion & Camera Replication
Upload a reference clip and Seedance 2.0 reproduces its camera move, pacing, and choreography with your own subject in it. No need to describe it in words — show, don't tell.
Edit and Extend Without Restarting
Swap a shot, replace a subject mid-video, or extend a clip further — all without regenerating the full sequence. The model treats your existing video as a reference, not as something to throw away.

E-commerce Product Ads & UGC Variants
Mode: Image-to-Video · Input: Product photo + text · Output: 9:16 / 16:9 · 8–15s
You have a product shot and a TikTok ad hook that's been working. Tomorrow morning you need fresh creative, but your photographer is booked for two weeks. You don't need one "pretty good" video — you need ten A/B-ready variants by end of day: same product, three scenarios, three hooks, three CTAs.
Close-up of [your product] on a sunlit marble countertop, hands reach in to pick it up, camera tilts up to reveal the full product, soft morning light, handheld feel, finishes on a product beauty shot. 9:16, 8 seconds.
Recommended: Image-to-Video with your product photo plus multiple prompt variants. To lock brand color and lighting across the whole set, switch to Multi Reference and add a brand video — Seedance will pick up its tone and palette.
Short-Form & UGC Template Replication
Mode: Multi Reference · Input: Viral clip + your subject photo · Output: 9:16 · 6–15s
A dance, product demo, or reaction clip is trending. You want to recreate its rhythm and camera work with your own subject — without it looking like you just ripped it off. The old way meant reverse-engineering the shot list, the lighting, and the cut timing by hand. Seedance 2.0 takes the original clip as a motion reference and swaps in your subject directly.
Reference the camera motion and pacing from the uploaded clip, but replace the subject with [my character/product]. Keep the beat-matched cuts. Replace the original soundtrack with upbeat Latin pop, and lip-sync to my uploaded voiceover.
Recommended: Multi Reference — video clip for camera motion, audio clip for beat sync or lip-sync, and one subject photo to lock identity.
Multi-Shot Short Films & Action Sequences
Mode: Multi Reference · Input: Storyboard + character ref + motion ref · Output: 16:9 / 21:9 · multiple 15s segments
You want a three-to-five-shot sequence — protagonist walks into a neon-lit garage, turns around, a figure emerges from the shadows, a fight, a close-up. Most AI video tools force you to prompt each shot separately, and the character's face drifts, wardrobe shifts, lighting changes between every cut. Seedance 2.0 outputs multi-shot sequences natively — one request, multiple continuous shots, identity locked. It's especially strong on action and camera transitions.
Shot 1: medium shot, protagonist walks into a neon-lit underground garage, rain-slick floor, handheld. Shot 2: over-the-shoulder, figure appears behind a pillar, slow dolly in. Shot 3: quick cuts of a choreographed fight, impact frames, 24fps cinematic. Keep the same protagonist across all shots. Native audio: footsteps, reverb, tension score.
Recommended: Multi Reference — character photo to lock identity + an optional reference clip for the fight choreography + a full shot-by-shot prompt.
Marketing Content at Scale — Campaign Variants
Mode: Image-to-Video / Multi Reference · Input: Brief + brand asset pack · Output: multi-format batches
A campaign ships on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn simultaneously. Every platform has a different ideal ratio, length, and pace, and any single creative loses CTR after a week. The old pipeline: one hero edit, then cut it down, recolor, re-soundtrack by hand. Seedance 2.0 takes a single brand asset pack (logo, palette, font reference) and generates cross-ratio, cross-length, cross-mood sets from it.
Same script, three moods: (1) Energetic 9:16 for TikTok — fast cuts, bright colors, upbeat music. (2) Calm 16:9 for YouTube pre-roll — slow pans, warm tones, soft piano. (3) Corporate 1:1 for LinkedIn — static framing, cool palette, minimal SFX. Keep the product and color palette identical across all three.
Recommended: Multi Reference with image references to lock brand assets + variant prompts run in batch.
Educational & Knowledge Content
Mode: Text-to-Video · Input: Script + optional visual refs · Output: 16:9 · 8–15s per scene
You want to turn a talking-head episode into something visual — a recipe demo, a historical reconstruction, a concept animation, a product unboxing. Traditionally that means real footage, B-roll libraries, or motion graphics work. Seedance 2.0 turns a script into matching visual scenes with synced narration or ambient audio, pacing that automatically follows the voiceover.
Top-down slow-motion close-up of molten chocolate being poured over a freshly baked cake, steam rising, golden sponge revealed underneath. Warm kitchen lighting, shallow depth of field. Audio: ambient kitchen sounds, subtle crackle of cooling sugar.
Recommended: Text-to-Video. Switch to Multi Reference if you want to lock a specific visual style with a reference image.
Pick the Right Input Mode
Three modes, one decision tree. Match what you have to the right input — and skip the trial-and-error round of regenerating from the wrong starting point.
Text-to-Video
You only have an idea — no reference assets yet.
Concept videos, sketches, content ideation, educational scenes.
Tip: Seedance rewards longer prompts (80–150 words). Spell out subject, action, camera, lighting, and audio — don't leave them to chance.
Image-to-Video
You have one key still — product shot, character design, scene mockup — and want to bring it to life.
E-commerce product ads, character animation, animating illustration.
Tip: The reference image acts as the first frame — the more complete its composition, the more stable the output.
Multi Reference
You want to combine references — video for camera motion, images for subject or style, audio for beat sync or lip-sync — in one generation.
UGC template replication, multi-shot short films, brand campaigns, music and dance content.
Tip: Each reference acts as a different constraint. Use a video ref for motion, an image ref to lock identity, and an audio ref to drive the rhythm — combined, they make output far more predictable than a prompt alone.
