What Is Bytedance Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 — also referred to as Seedance2 or Seedance2.0 — is ByteDance's multimodal AI video generation model, launched on February 9, 2026. Built on the Dual-Branch Diffusion Transformer (DB-DiT) architecture, Seedance 2.0 processes video and audio as two parallel streams in a single generation pass — producing synchronized visual and audio output without a separate post-processing step. The model accepts four types of input simultaneously: text prompts, up to nine reference images, up to three video clips, and up to three audio tracks, making it the most reference-capable AI video model currently available. Output reaches 2K resolution with clip lengths up to 15 to 20 seconds, including multi-shot scene transitions handled within a single generation request. On the Artificial Analysis Video Arena — the industry's primary blind-test benchmark for AI video quality — Seedance 2.0 holds the top Elo rating for image-to-video with audio, ahead of Kling 3.0, Veo 3, and Runway Gen-4.5.
What separates Seedance 2.0 from conventional AI video generators is its Dual-Branch Diffusion Transformer architecture. Most AI video models handle audio and video through separate pipelines and merge the outputs in post-processing — producing audio that reacts to the video rather than being generated with it. Seedance 2.0's DB-DiT processes both streams in parallel, so motion timing, lip synchronization, environmental sound, and music all emerge from the same generation step. The result is tighter temporal alignment between what is seen and what is heard, more physically plausible motion — cloth reacting to airflow, water displacing on contact, weight transferring naturally as characters move — and stronger adherence to complex multi-clause prompts. Seedance 2.0's multi-reference input system is equally distinctive: by accepting up to nine reference images alongside video and audio clips, the model can anchor specific character appearances, camera movement patterns, color palettes, and sound atmospheres — a level of creative control that text-only generation cannot match.
This platform brings Seedance 2.0 capabilities directly to your browser. Generate AI video from text prompts, animate still images with physics-accurate motion, or supply reference files to guide every aspect of the output — appearance, camera movement, sound, and pacing. Seedance 2.0 operates alongside additional AI engines so you can compare outputs from the same prompt: Kling 3.0 for multi-shot narratives, Veo 3 for cinema-grade eight-second clips, Wan 2.6 for style-consistent image-to-video. The image workspace adds Seedream for native 4K output, GPT Image for typography-accurate graphics, and Flux 2 Pro for rapid batch generation. No GPU, no software installation, and no motion capture hardware — write a prompt or upload reference files and Seedance 2.0 generates the rest.

Seedance
VideoSeedance 2.0 by ByteDance — the flagship AI video engine on this platform. Generates cinematic video and native audio in a single pass using the Dual-Branch Diffusion Transformer (DB-DiT) architecture. Accepts up to nine reference images, three video clips, and three audio tracks per generation. Produces 2K video up to 15 seconds. Ranked #1 on Artificial Analysis for image-to-video with audio.
Kling
VideoKuaishou's production video engine. Generates up to 15 seconds across standard and pro quality modes with multi-shot sequencing that handles scene transitions in a single prompt. Supports Motion Control for full-body character animation from a reference clip — choreography, dance, and performance transfer with finger-level hand precision.
Veo
VideoGoogle DeepMind's cinema-grade video generator. Produces eight-second clips at broadcast quality with built-in spatial audio — no post-production audio step. Excels in environmental realism and wide-lens scene composition. Supports first-and-last-frame control for precise scene bookending.
GPT Image
ImageOpenAI's image model optimized for visual accuracy in generated text. Ranked at the top of LMArena and the Artificial Analysis Image Arena for typographic fidelity. The direct choice when the prompt includes readable labels, logos, signage, or any content where legibility in the output image is non-negotiable.
Flux Pro
ImageBlack Forest Labs' production image engine built for throughput. Generates at 1K and 2K across seven aspect ratios with a benchmark-leading win rate in head-to-head comparisons. Designed for batch workflows — product photography, social content, and rapid iteration where generation speed is the primary constraint.
Nano Banana
ImageGoogle's character-consistency image engine. Accepts up to eight reference images to anchor a specific face, hairstyle, clothing, or brand mark across every image in a series. Nano Banana 2 extends this to 14 reference inputs and adds Google Search grounding for real-world subject accuracy.
Seedream
ImageByteDance's native 4K image engine. Outputs up to 4096×4096 px across eight aspect ratios including 21:9 ultrawide. Seedream 5 applies Chain-of-Thought visual reasoning — working through spatial relationships step by step before rendering — for more coherent multi-figure compositions and precise environmental detail.
Runway Gen-4
VideoRunway Gen-4 Aleph for video editing rather than generation. Supply existing footage and a text prompt to restyle, recolor, or modify objects while preserving the original motion path. Supports multiple aspect ratios with professional-grade output for post-production and content modification workflows.
What You Can Create with Seedance 2.0

#1 for Image-to-Video with Audio on Artificial Analysis
Seedance 2.0 holds the top Elo rating on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena for image-to-video with audio — the primary independent benchmark for AI video quality using blind human preference evaluation. The Elo score reflects thousands of side-by-side comparisons where evaluators choose without knowing which model produced each output. Seedance 2.0 leads Kling 3.0, Veo 3, and Runway Gen-4.5 in this category.
4-Modality Reference Control
Seedance 2.0 accepts four input types simultaneously — text, up to nine reference images, up to three video clips, and up to three audio clips. No other publicly available AI video model offers this level of multi-reference control. Specify character appearance from a photo, camera movement from a reference clip, and sound atmosphere from an audio track — all in a single generation request.
Native Audio-Video Joint Generation
Seedance 2.0's Dual-Branch Diffusion Transformer (DB-DiT) generates video and audio in parallel — not sequenced. Synchronized dialogue, ambient environmental sound, and music emerge from the same generation step as the visual output. Lip synchronization tracks phoneme timing frame by frame. There is no separate audio step, no merging in post-production, and no temporal drift between the visual action and the sound.
2K Resolution, Up to 15-Second Clips
Seedance 2.0 outputs video at up to 2K resolution with clip lengths up to 15 seconds, including multi-shot scene transitions in a single generation pass. Generation speed is approximately 30% faster than the previous Seedance release. Other engines on this platform extend your options — Kling 3.0 supports up to 15 seconds in 4K, and Veo 3 produces eight-second broadcast-quality clips.
