Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator

ByteDance created Seedance 2.0, an AI video generation model. On ZapVid, you create short video clips from text prompts or by uploading one reference photo. The model generates synchronized sound with your video, supporting clips of 5, 10, or 15 seconds. You can output your work in 480p or 720p resolution across 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 aspect ratios. When you provide a picture, it serves as the opening frame, and the resulting video matches the uploaded photo shape.

How to get better results with Seedance 2.0

• Crop your reference photo to your desired aspect ratio before uploading. Because Seedance 2.0 uses your image as the first frame and matches its geometry, starting with the right shape keeps your output framing consistent.
• Describe auditory elements in your prompt to take advantage of integrated audio generation. When you specify sounds like splashing water or footsteps, you guide the audio generated with your video.
• Select 5 seconds for simple motions and 15 seconds when your scene requires continuous movement. Choosing your duration before generation aligns the pacing of the action and the accompanying sound.
