Added July 2026. Included on every plan.
Why this one
What makes Seedance 2.0 different
- 4k outputThe top resolution tier renders at 4k, which is rare among video models and useful when the clip gets cropped or projected.
- Frames or references, your choicePin the first and last frame for timing, or hand it reference stills for identity.
- Every common aspect ratioSquare, portrait, landscape and ultrawide all come from the same prompt and the same model.
- Optional generated audioSound is a toggle, so the same setup makes a scored clip or a silent plate.
- Two clips per runBatch a pair and pick the better take instead of paying twice for a coin flip.
- The proven defaultIt is the tier most of the studio's video work runs through, so its behaviour is well understood.

Technique
Prompt tips
- Lead with the shotFraming and camera movement first. A clear camera instruction does more than a long adjective list.
- Keep one action per clipOne beat renders cleanly. Two competing actions in a short clip usually produce neither.
- Anchor with a first frameUploading the opening still is the most reliable way to get the composition you already have in mind.
- Reserve 4k for finalsDraft at a lower tier, then re-run the prompt you like at 4k. The cost difference is large and the framing work is the same.
- Name the lightTime of day, source and direction. Light is what makes generated video read as filmed rather than rendered.
Mechanism
How Seedance 2.0 works
The model takes your prompt plus any frames or references and generates the clip as a continuous render. Resolution is a price axis rather than a quality switch on the motion itself, so the movement you get at a draft tier is broadly the movement you get at 4k, which is what makes drafting cheaply and finishing high a sensible workflow.
