Seedance 2.0: A New Generation of AI Video Generation

Seedance 2.0 is the latest generation of the Seedance AI video model. Learn what Seedance 2.0 brings to text-to-video and image-to-video, and how the Mini variant makes it fast and affordable.

Seedance 2.0 is the latest generation of the Seedance AI video model — a system that turns text prompts and still images into coherent, natural-looking video. It builds on everything the first generation learned about motion and consistency, and pushes toward clips that feel directed rather than randomly generated.

What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is a generative video model: you describe a scene, and it synthesizes a short clip frame by frame. The 2.0 generation focuses on the things that make AI video actually usable:

  • Coherent motion — subjects move naturally and stay consistent across frames.
  • Prompt adherence — the model follows your description more faithfully, from subject to camera movement.
  • Flexible inputs — generate from text alone, or animate an existing image.
  • Format control — landscape, portrait, and square outputs for any platform.

Text to video and image to video

Seedance 2.0 supports two core workflows:

  • Text to Video — start from a written prompt. Best for inventing scenes from scratch: "a lighthouse beam sweeping across a stormy sea at dusk."
  • Image to Video — start from a picture and add motion. Best when you already have the look you want and need it to move — a product shot, a character, a piece of concept art.

Both share the same idea: you direct, the model renders.

Where Seedance 2.0 Mini fits

The full Seedance 2.0 model aims for maximum fidelity, which takes more time and compute. For everyday creation and rapid iteration, there's Seedance 2.0 Mini — a distilled, speed-optimized variant that renders in seconds at a fraction of the cost. The workflow is identical, so it's the perfect place to explore ideas before committing to a final render.

That's the model powering the generator on this site: fast enough to iterate, affordable enough to experiment.

How to get started

You don't need to install anything or understand the model internals to create with Seedance 2.0:

  1. Open the generator on the homepage.
  2. Write a prompt, pick an aspect ratio and duration.
  3. Generate, preview, and download your MP4.

The takeaway

Seedance 2.0 moves AI video closer to a real creative tool — controllable, consistent, and quick to iterate when paired with the Mini variant. Try Seedance 2.0 Mini now and turn your next idea into a clip.
