Seedance 2 — Controlled AI Video Generation
Seedance 2 is a multimodal AI video generator that converts text prompts, reference images, or source footage into cinematic, export-ready clips. It focuses on reference-driven control, temporal stability, and fast iteration to produce consistent visuals across shots.
Key Features
- Modes: Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Video-to-Video for concepting, reference consistency, and style transfer.
- Multi-modal inputs: combine prompts with images, clips, and audio to steer style, pacing, and scene continuity.
- Reference-first workflow: lock character, camera feel, and visual style to reduce guesswork and improve consistency.
- Temporal stability: reduced flicker and more coherent frame-to-frame detail for smoother motion.
- Output control: selectable aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, 4:3), resolutions (480p / 720p / 1080p), and durations (4s / 8s / 12s).
- Camera controls: Fixed Lens option to keep camera static or disable for dynamic movement.
- Optional audio generation: toggle to generate sound effects or audio for clips (additional cost).
- Production-ready exports: HD-ready outputs and a fast iteration loop for comparing variants and refining takes.
Technical Details
- Credit-based generation with visible cost per job (example UI shows a sample cost of 80 credits).
- Real-time generation UI with preview pane and progress monitoring.
- Designed for integration with different providers/models (UI mentions selecting provider/model during generation).
- UI exposes practical controls for production (aspect ratio, resolution, duration, lens stabilization, audio generation).
Use Cases
- Rapid ad and social creative production: iterate multiple variants quickly while keeping consistent character/style.
- Product demos and marketing: fast turnaround on polished, publish-ready clips.
- Storyboarding and concepting: generate cinematic test shots from prompts or reference images.
- Repurposing archive footage: style-transfer and video-to-video workflows to restyle or up-res existing clips.
Target Users
- Creators, agencies, marketers, and product teams who need repeatable, high-volume video outputs with controlled visual consistency.
- Non-editors who want an intuitive workflow, and advanced teams looking for flexible, reference-driven controls.
