Director-Level Camera Control
The model handles complex camera work that other models struggle with. Dolly zooms, rack focuses, tracking shots, POV switches, and smooth handheld movement all work as expected. You describe the shot, and the camera executes it.
Fight scenes, vehicle chases, explosions, falling debris. Seedance 2.0 understands how objects interact under force. Collisions have weight, fabric tears realistically, and characters move with physical believability even in high-action sequences.
Seedance 2.0 generates audio natively alongside video. Music carries deep bass and cinematic warmth. Dialogue is clear with precise lip-sync. Sound effects land exactly on cue. No post-production audio layering needed.
Seedance is ByteDance's AI video model family for text-to-video, image-to-video, and audio-aware video generation. If you search for Seedance AI, start by choosing between the current Seedance 2.0 page for the newest workflow and older Seedance variants when speed or compatibility matters.
Seedance image to video is the best fit when you already have a product photo, character frame, storyboard panel, or visual reference. Start with the still image, then describe the motion, camera path, duration, sound, and final frame so Seedance can preserve identity while adding movement.
Use first-frame or reference inputs when character and product consistency matter.
Describe camera movement directly, such as tracking forward, handheld push-in, or overhead cut.
Add audio intent only when the model supports native audio for the selected endpoint.

Seedance prompt guide and examples
A strong Seedance prompt reads like a compact shot brief. Put the subject first, then the action, camera movement, lighting, style, and timing. This keeps Seedance prompts easier to reuse across Seedance 2.0, Seedance 1.5, and fast variants.
Prompt example
Close tracking shot of a founder walking through a neon-lit studio, camera pushes in slowly, warm rim light, subtle handheld motion, natural room tone, cinematic realism.
Developer searches around Seedance usually need a direct path from model choice to request shape. If you are evaluating Seedance API usage, compare the endpoint inputs, resolution, duration, audio support, and streaming response behavior before you wire it into production.
Use the model page first when you need generation settings and examples.
Use API documentation when you need request parameters, SSE events, and output fields.
Check pricing by resolution, duration, and whether audio is generated.

How to Use ByteDance Seedance on skills.video
01
Choose Seedance 2.0 and your canvas
Select Seedance 2.0 inside skills.video, set the aspect ratio (vertical, square, or widescreen), and pick 480p/720p/1080p based on where you'll publish.
02
Write the scene like a director
Describe subjects, wardrobe, motion cues, and camera behavior (tracking forward, cut to overhead, handheld POV) so the model understands both action and cinematography.
03
Anchor style with references if needed
Add a key frame, first/last frame, or look reference URL to lock art direction, then optionally enable end-frame mode to control transitions.
04
Generate, review audio, iterate
Preview the result with the native soundtrack. If you need tweaks, switch variants (Pro, Lite) or update the prompt for tighter pacing.
