Seedance 2 is a ByteDance video model built for creators who need more than a single prompt. Use text, images, audio, reference images, and reference videos to guide short video generation with stronger control over scene intent and motion.
A model for controlled video generation from several input types
Start from a written scene description when you need the model to invent the subject, location, camera movement, and mood.
Upload a first frame or visual reference when you want the generated video to preserve a subject, product, pose, or composition.
Use audio input when rhythm, speech, or sound direction should influence the generated clip.
Guide style, subject, or movement with reference images and reference videos instead of relying only on a text prompt.
Create clips up to 15 seconds in the current Styvid configuration, useful for ads, social posts, and story beats.
Seedance 2 supports sound-enabled generation in Styvid, so users can test motion and audio direction together.
Choose the input path that matches your creative brief
Use text for open-ended creation, images for visual continuity, audio for timing, or references for more specific direction.
Select a short duration such as 5, 10, or 15 seconds and choose the output resolution that fits your workflow.
Review the first output, then adjust subject details, action verbs, camera language, or references for a more precise result.
Where this model fits inside Styvid
Best for cinematic concepts, short scenes, social hooks, product stories, and prompt-led creative exploration.
Best when you already have a product image, character still, poster frame, or brand visual that needs motion.
Useful when a text prompt alone is too vague and you need visual or motion guidance.
Practical situations where Seedance 2 is a strong choice
Turn product stills into short reveal videos with controlled lighting, camera moves, and motion cues.
Generate short clips for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and paid social tests before committing to full production.
Use existing frames or motion references to quickly test a scene direction for ads or narrative clips.
Experiment with clips where sound, rhythm, or spoken direction affects the feel of the video.
Use this model when the input needs are more complex than a single prompt or one source image.
If the creative brief includes a text prompt, one or more images, audio, or reference material, Seedance 2 is easier to explain to users than a simple text-only model.
The current 15-second option makes it useful for social ads, brand teasers, and story beats that need more time than a quick 5-second motion test.
When users already have visual direction, motion direction, or audio direction, reference-driven generation can reduce vague outputs and help preserve creative intent.
If the user only wants a rough one-shot idea, a draft model such as P-Video or HappyHorse can be a better first step before using Seedance 2.
