Seedance 2.0 is Crazy: What Improvements will You See?

Part 1: What's Seedance 2.0? Is Seedance 2.0 Good?

1.1. What's Seedance 2.0?

To help you understand better, Seedance 2.0 is a video generation model that can quickly generate "Hollywood" quality videos using text, images, audio, and video references. Its key feature is that it no longer simply generates fragmented and single-angle short video footage; instead, it works like a professional director, understanding and creating complex creative tasks that include multi-angle camera movements, coherent narratives, and character consistency.

1.2. Is Seedance 2.0 Good?

For sure. I'm not the only one who thinks Seedance 2.0 is good; there are plenty of positive reviews about it online. Elon Musk even commented on X, "It's happening fast". So, why do people think Seedance 2.0 is good? The outstanding features of Seedance 2.0 will be described in detail in Part 3. But the most significant reason is the high-quality results it makes. Searching for videos made with Seedance 2.0 on YouTube, you can clearly see how exquisite and detailed the video results are, even perfectly replicating the Hollywood and Disney style, making you mistakenly believe that it was filmed with advanced equipment. If you can't wait to test it yourself, then read on to the next section.

Part 2: Where Can You Use Seedance 2.0?

2.1. Seedance 2.0 Online Entry

Although Seedance 2.0 has been released, ByteDance's English website does not provide an official testing entry. Currently, only the Doubao and Jimeng websites in mainland China offer online access. It is recommended that you use a VPN to switch to a mainland China IP address and then access the following website for testing.

• https://jimeng.jianying.com/ai-tool/home/
• https://www.doubao.com/chat/

The following is my experience using Seedance 2.0 on the Doubao website in mainland China. Here, I will only enter a prompt to generate a video without uploading any references.

The following is my experience using Seedance 2.0 on the Jimeng website in mainland China. On this website, you can provide a video as a reference for Seedance 2.0 to imitate its style or movements. You can also upload up to 5 images as any element in the video (characters, props, clothing, backgrounds, etc.).

Core Parameter Table:

Input Reference	Seedance 2.0
Image	0 - 9
Video	0 to 3 videos, ≤15s in length
Audio	MP3 format, 0-3 audio files, ≤15s

Part 3: From 1.0 to 2.0: The Seedance Improvements

From 1.0 to 2.0, Seedance underwent a comprehensive evolution and transformation. First, we must acknowledge the achievements of Seedance 1.0; in terms of both video generation quality and output time, Seedance 1.0 achieved a high ranking among numerous AI video models. You can see the video model rankings in the following image (all data from the latest report on the Artificial Analysis website):

With such outstanding performance in video quality and generation speed, Seedance 2.0 can only be better than 1.0. Here are its improvements.

3.1. No More "Nerdy"

Previous AI videos often featured distorted or anti-physical phenomena in human movements. Seedance 2.0, on the other hand, achieves more stable video frames and more logical movements, making the video as natural and smooth as if it were filmed.

3.2. Support Diverse Input References

Most AI models can only generate videos by inputting prompts or by providing image references as the first and last frames of the generated video. Seedance 2.0 now allows you to upload up to 9 images, 3 video clips, 3 audio clips, and prompts simultaneously to generate a video.

3.3. Stronger Text Analysis Capabilities

When you use other AI models, you'll find that if you input slightly complex or technical text, the AI may not understand your intent and ultimately generate a video that doesn't meet your expectations. Seedance 2.0 better understands complex instructions, and even if you've written a long script with multiple character interactions, it can try its best to reproduce it. Even more impressively, it can "re-edit" the generated video (change a character's movements) and extend the video, allowing you to have full control over the video creation process like an editor.

3.4. Generate Video with Sound

Seedance 1.0 generates silent videos, while Seedance 2.0 supports two-channel stereo. This means it can generate more immersive sound effects, such as background music, ambient sounds (rain, wind), and voices, all of which can coexist and be precisely aligned with the visuals. It can even generate very detailed ASMR sound effects.

3.5. Reduce Video Production Cycle

Whether it's a moving shot requiring multiple people or a short advertisement with intricate camerawork and storytelling, Seedance 2.0 can generate high-quality multi-camera videos up to 15 seconds long, complete with scene-appropriate stereo sound effects. This can significantly reduce the pre-production and post-production costs for film, advertising, e-commerce, and other content.

In summary, Seedance 2.0 has been upgraded into a "professional production crew" that understands physics, comprehends complex instructions, and works with a variety of materials. It generates more realistic and controllable videos with better sound, making it easier for ordinary people to create professional-looking videos.

Part 4: User Reviews of Seedance 2.0

What do other users think of Seedance 2.0? There are currently many discussions about Seedance 2.0 on Reddit. I browsed some popular discussions, and the following are some user experiences and feedback extracted from Reddit.

A user on Reddit shared a two-minute unedited video he created using Seedance 2.0. The post quickly garnered over 400 comments. Many comments were amazed by the video's brilliance, with some saying, "the future of entertainment is going to be quite interesting", and "the most impressive thing to me is the consistency of style; virtually every object in every frame is visually aligned".

Another user used Seedance 2.0 to recreate a clip from Neo vs. Agent Smith from The Matrix. The video clip is four minutes long. The comments section was full of praise for the video, and users witnessed the power of Seedance 2.0. After watching the entire video, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Seedance 2.0 AI is truly different"!

Of course, there will also be negative user reviews. Most negative reviews still believe that Seedance 2.0 cannot replace filmed videos and people have exaggerated the actual effects of Seedance 2.0.

Part 5: Seedance 2.0 Personal Test

I have always believed that whether something is good or bad depends on whether it can achieve your purpose. The same applies to Seedance 2.0; whether it is good or bad depends on whether it meets my needs. Next, I will share my personal experience using Seedance 2.0, hoping this will help you understand Seedance 2.0 better.

5.1. Seedance 2.0 on Doubao

I first tested Seedance 2.0 on Doubao, a website in mainland China. It's important to note that this website can only generate videos using Chinese prompts; the text in the images below is automatically translated into English by the website.

First, let's look at the Seedance 2.0 model on the Doubao website. Here it shows "Seedance 2.0 Fast". Strangely, even in Seedance 2.0 Fast mode, I still can't upload videos for reference. So I just entered a simple prompt to let Seedance 2.0 create a racing video. After about 2 minutes, Doubao gave me a racing video with the roar of a sports car.

Before generating this video, I had entered a new perfume ad prompt and set the video aspect ratio to 9:16. Both generated videos exceeded my expectations; I think very few people would be able to tell that it was generated by artificial intelligence.

5.2. Seedance 2.0 on Jimeng

I tested Seedance 2.0 on the Jimeng website for the second time. Like Doubao, this website only accepts Chinese prompts. However, this website offers a more comprehensive experience of Seedance 2.0, providing "all-round reference" as well as "first and last frames" mode.

• All-round reference: You are allowed to upload 1-5 reference images or videos, and freely combine these references using prompts. Example of a prompt: @Image1 is used as the video background, mimicking the movement of @Image2. To shorten the video generation time, I uploaded some simple images and prompts to let Seedance 2.0 create a short video.
• First and last frames: Upload images as the first and last frames of your video, then describe whatever you want to create.

5.3. Seedance 2.0 Experience: Quick Summary

On the positive side, Seedance 2.0 does indeed provide videos with sound that matches the visuals. And I'm quite satisfied with the video results. It's perfectly adequate for everyday work tasks, teaching purposes, e-commerce videos, product design, and prank videos. However, whether it can match "Hollywood"-level film quality remains to be seen. This is because the process requires continuous optimization of prompts and references.

The downside is that the generation time is really too long (at least 6 hours)! Perhaps because Seedance 2.0 is quite popular now, and many people are testing this model, I received a 6-hour wait notification on the Jimeng website for two consecutive days when I tested this model. Hopefully, the waiting time for generation can be shortened in the future.

Part 6: What Impact Will Seedance 2.0 Have?

6.1. Benefits of Seedance 2.0

I've already mentioned many of the benefits of Seedance 2.0 in the earlier parts of this article, and here I'll briefly list them again:

6.2. Warnings about Seedance 2.0

The Seedance 2.0 has sparked such a heated discussion that it has also prompted reflection on social, legal, and ethical issues. These three aspects are inextricably linked to AI.

1. Since its release, Seedance 2.0 has faced resistance from Disney and Hollywood unions. They believe its generated models infringe on characters, figures, and content, constituting copyright infringement.

2. Some users have also tested Seedance 2.0 AI and found that it can generate voices that sound exactly like real people based on photos of them. This has raised concerns that someone might use this feature to create fake videos, making it difficult to distinguish between AI and real people. In response, ByteDance has removed the option to upload real-person images for reference. However, user concerns remain.

3. As AI production costs decrease, many basic jobs will face the risk of being replaced by AI. So, will we face being fired in the future?

Part 7: FAQs about Seedance 2.0

Q1: Can you use Seedance 2.0 for free?

Yes, but with some limitations. Currently, users in mainland China can experience Seedance 2.0 for free through ByteDance's Doubao app. Each generation requires 2 credits, with 10 credits given away for free daily. The Jimeng website gives away 80 credits daily, but that's only enough for one free video generation. However, all of this requires a Chinese mobile phone number or the Douyin app to access.

Q2: Can Seedance 2.0 create long videos?

Seedance 2.0 currently supports generating high-quality video clips of up to 15 seconds at a time. However, it also supports re-editing and video extension features. You can upload your video clips and add prompts to extend them before merging them into a single longer video.

Q3: Is Seedance 2.0 still not open to the public in the United States?

It is not yet directly available in the United States. Through extensive website searches, I haven't found a single website or app in the US that offers Seedance 2.0. Some only mention that Seedance 2.0 will be added soon.

Q4: Seedance 2.0 vs. Veo 3, which one is good?

I've reviewed the Veo 3 before; this is the review article: /hot-topic/veo-3-ai-video-generator.html

Both have their advantages, and which one is better depends on your specific needs. Here is a simple list of their differences.

	Seedance 2.0	Veo 3
Reference	Images, videos, and audio can be used as references.	Text references, it excels at understanding complex, descriptive text instructions to generate videos.
Duration	15s	8s
Audio	The lip movements may not match the lines.	Extremely realistic and synchronized with audio and video.
Use cases	Narrative short films, music videos, commercials, and other works that require precise control over characters and camera movement.	Social media short videos and text-based narration videos with a strong sense of realism.

Q5: What challenges does Seedance 2.0 face?

The biggest challenges facing Seedance 2.0 are the ambiguity surrounding privacy and copyright, as well as the waiting time for video output. Besides the copyright infringement warning issued by Disney regarding Seedance 2.0 mentioned in the article, some creators have also discovered that Seedance 2.0 seems to imitate their videos, sparking discussions about the boundaries of copyright in model training. I also can't help but wonder, what is Seedance 2.0's training data based on?

At the same time, what I find unsatisfactory is that it now takes at least 6 hours to wait for Seedance 2.0 to produce a complete video, which is something ByteDance needs to improve.

Q6: How to write Seedance 2.0 prompts?

The key is to have structured thinking and shot design skills. An effective prompt should include subject, camera movement, style, and action details. However, if you are a beginner, it is recommended that you first find a video template or let AI help you optimize your prompts before inputting it into Seedance 2.0 to generate the video.
