How to Use Seedance 2.0: A Quick Guide to AI Video Generation

Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generator that turns text prompts, images, and reference videos into high-quality video clips. It supports multiple generation modes, native audio, and outputs up to 1080p resolution.

This guide covers the basics of each mode so you can start creating right away.

Supported Input Types

Seedance 2.0 accepts four types of input:

• Images - Up to 9 reference images per generation
• Video - Up to 3 reference video clips
• Audio - MP3 files (up to 3) for beat-sync and audio-driven generation
• Text - Descriptive prompts that guide the generation

Output videos range from 4 to 15 seconds, with native audio generation and 1080p resolution.

Text to Video

Type a text prompt describing the scene you want. Seedance 2.0 generates a video clip that matches your description. This works for everything from cinematic scenes to anime-style animations.

Write detailed prompts for better results. Include camera angles, lighting, character actions, and atmosphere.

Image to Video

Upload a still image and add a text prompt describing the motion you want. Seedance 2.0 animates the image into a video clip while preserving the visual style and composition of your original image.

This mode is useful when you have a specific look or character design and want to bring it to life.

Reference to Video

This is Seedance 2.0's standout feature. You can use reference images and videos to control the output with precision:

• Reference images accurately restore composition, character appearance, scene layout, and visual style across generated videos
• Reference videos support replication of camera movements, shot language, motion patterns, and VFX
• Combine both for maximum control over the final result

The reference system lets you maintain consistency across multiple video clips, which is critical for storytelling and commercial projects.

Video Extension

Extend any existing video clip with AI-generated continuation. Seedance 2.0 maintains visual consistency, motion flow, and narrative continuity when adding new frames to the end of your clip.

Use this to turn a 5-second clip into a longer sequence without visible cuts.

Video Editing

Edit existing videos using text prompts. You can:

• Change the plot or action in a scene
• Swap characters or objects
• Add new visual elements
• Modify backgrounds and environments

The AI preserves the parts of the video you don't change while applying your edits.

Beat-Sync Video

Upload reference images along with a rhythm video or audio track. Seedance 2.0 generates videos where the motion and transitions sync with the beat of the music.

This mode is built for music videos, social media content, and any project where visual rhythm matters.
