Seedance

Seedance is an AI video generation model series developed by ByteDance Seed that turns text, image, audio, and video inputs into high-quality cinematic video. Across its versions, it focuses on smooth motion, multi-shot storytelling, and increasingly advanced multimodal control.

Seedance is an AI video generation model series from ByteDance Seed designed for creators, studios, and developers who need more than simple text-to-video clips. It spans multiple generations, with each release expanding what can be expressed, controlled, and generated through AI-driven video.

Seedance 10 laid the foundation with 1080p video generation from text or image inputs, strong prompt adherence, stable motion, and native multi-shot storytelling. That last capability is especially important, since most video generation tools struggle to maintain consistent characters, style, and atmosphere across more than a single scene. Seedance 1.0 manages transitions in a way that makes it suitable for narrative-driven content rather than isolated outputs.

Seedance 2.0 expands the system into a unified multimodal framework that supports text, image, audio, and video inputs within a single generation pipeline. This enables more direct creative steering, including control over performance, lighting, camera movement, and scene composition. It also introduces audio-video joint generation, meaning sound and visuals are created together rather than stitched after the fact, which improves coherence across the final output.

Key features

• Native multi-shot storytelling — Seedance supports multi-shot video generation with consistent characters, style, and atmosphere across scenes. This makes it suitable for narrative storytelling where continuity matters more than isolated visual output.
• Strong prompt understanding — Seedance interprets complex instructions involving multiple characters, actions, and camera behaviors, translating them into structured and coherent video sequences.
• Multimodal input support — Seedance 2.0 accepts text, image, audio, and video inputs in a unified system. This allows you to guide generation using richer references instead of relying only on text prompts.
• API access for integration — Both major versions of Seedance are available via API, enabling you to integrate video generation directly into products, tools, or automated content pipelines.
