What is Seedance 2.0? Core Features & Capabilities

Seedance 2.0 isn't just another text-to-video model; it's a comprehensive multimodal storytelling engine. Here's what makes it stand out:

1. Multi-Shot Consistency

One of the biggest challenges in AI video is keeping characters and environments consistent across different scenes. Seedance 2.0 excels at multi-shot consistency, allowing creators to produce coherent narratives where the protagonist looks the same in a close-up, wide shot, or action sequence.

2. Native Audio Generation

Forget silent AI videos. Seedance 2.0 generates synchronized audio—including sound effects, ambient noise, and even dialogue—directly alongside the video. This native audio capability streamlines the production workflow, eliminating the need for separate sound design tools.

3. Multimodal Inputs (Text, Image, Video, Audio)

Seedance 2.0 accepts various input types:

• Text-to-Video: Describe your scene in natural language.
• Image-to-Video: Animate static images with precise control.
• Video-to-Video: Restyle or edit existing footage.
• Audio-to-Video: Generate visuals that match an audio track.

4. Cinematic Quality (1080p & 4K)

Early demos showcase 1080p resolution as standard, with potential for 4K upscaling. The model understands camera movements (pan, tilt, zoom) and cinematic lighting, making it ideal for professional content creators, filmmakers, and advertisers.

Seedance 2.0 vs. OpenAI Sora: The Showdown

While Sora stunned the world with its realism, Seedance 2.0's focus on narrative consistency and audio addresses key pain points for creators trying to make longer-form content.
