A Complete Scene in 15 Seconds

ByteDance built Seedance 2.0 for multi-shot output: one generation can open on a wide shot, cut to close-ups and land on a reaction, with dialogue, room tone and effects rendered in the same pass in two-channel audio. Fifteen seconds is enough for a small scene with a beginning and an end.

On Yovid the length is a slider from 4 to 15 seconds, 5 by default. Run short versions while you shape the prompt, then render the full length once the shots are in the right order.

A Complete Scene in 15 Seconds – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): K-drama–style lifestyle short film with a warm, natural, lightly sweet tone rooted in everyday realism. The girl from @Image 1 and the boy from @Image 2 sit facing each other, chatting and smiling as steaming noodle bowls fill the foreground with shallow depth of field. In a close-up, the girl lowers her head to eat noodles, use @Video 1 as the action reference, suddenly slurping them enthusiastically—cheeks puffed, broth splashing slightly. She looks up to find the boy watching, freezes, then smiles shyly. He leans in softly to wipe her mouth with a tissue and says, "천천히 먹어. 아무도 안 뺏어." (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 15s)

The Same Face in Every Shot

Attach up to 9 images and tell the model what each one is for: @Image 1 for the face, @Image 2 for the costume, @Image 3 for the location. ByteDance’s own guide recommends a plain headshot plus a full-body photo over a multi-angle character sheet, which the model can mistake for several people.

In the demo below four reference images set the warrior, her war elephant, the armor of her army and the desert light, and her face and costume stay the same from the wide establishing shot to the medium shot and the low-angle march.

The Same Face in Every Shot – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): Epic cinematic battlefield video set on a vast ancient desert battlefield, with the visual tone referencing @Image 1 and soldiers’ armor inspired by @Image 2. At the very front stands a colossal armored war elephant from @Image 3, with the female warrior from @Image 4 seated atop it—calm, authoritative, and commanding the entire army. Cut to a medium shot: the female warrior stares ahead, her hair and cloak moving in the wind, the frame steady and powerful. (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 14s)

Let a Reference Clip Set the Shot

A reference clip tells Seedance 2.0 how the shot should move: where the camera goes, how long each beat lasts, how the subject acts. Images then supply the people, products or creatures that appear in it. ByteDance’s demo kept every shot and the timing of a girl resting with her cat under an acacia tree, and put the lion from a single reference image in the cat’s place.

In the Yovid composer, attach up to 3 clips and 9 images, insert each one into the prompt with @ and say what it controls, for example “follow the camera move in @Video 1”. Generations with a reference clip are billed on the clip’s length plus the output. To edit or extend footage you already have, use Seedance 2.5, which has dedicated modes for both.

Let a Reference Clip Set the Shot – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): Replace the cat in @Video 1 with the lion from @Image 1. The lion lies on its side across the girl's legs, gently interacting with her in a warm and tender way. (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 12s)

Hands, Objects and Believable Physics

Hands are where video models usually give themselves away. Seedance 2.0 keeps fingers, dough, running water and a hot pie dish behaving as they should, and holds a first-person camera steady enough to read every step.

Write actions as specific body movements with a speed and a force, such as “slowly folds the dough” or “lifts the dish with both mitts”, and give each shot one camera move. ByteDance’s prompt guide flags stacked push, pan and tilt moves as a common cause of unstable frames.

Hands, Objects and Believable Physics – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): First-person kitchen baking vlog with a slight wide-angle lens and an immersive handheld feel. No face appears throughout—only hands and forearms are visible, with the camera perspective referencing @Image 1. The sequence begins with a top-down view of hands opening a cookbook on the kitchen island, the page content matching @Image 2. The camera then points straight down as the hands knead dough on a floured surface—pressing, folding, and shaping—while flour scatters in the air. Next, the hands lift a prepared, unbaked apple pie toward the camera for display, referencing @Image 3. (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 14s)

Cuts That Keep the Cast and the Set

A good cut changes the framing and nothing else. Across the demo below the hiker’s face and jacket and the boots from the product photo stay the same from the wide ridgeline shot through the tracking shot, the side close-up and the macro shots of each step.

Write the scene as a numbered shot list, Shot 1, Shot 2, Shot 3, each with who is on screen, what they do and how the camera moves. ByteDance advises against forcing exact timestamps; let the model pace the shots and keep each one simple.

Cuts That Keep the Cast and the Set – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): Cinematic outdoor hiking commercial. Opens with an ultra-wide establishing shot of vast mountains and an open ridgeline, referencing @Image 1, bathed in golden morning mist as the camera slowly pushes forward. Cut to the man from @Image 2, wearing the hiking boots shown in @Image 3, striding confidently along a mountain trail. Close-up side profile with shallow depth of field. Slow-motion macro shots of the boots stepping into grass and shallow puddles. (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 11s)

Product Spots with Convincing Materials

Seedance 2.0 can restyle a product inside a finished ad. In ByteDance’s demo below, one packaging image replaces every dog-food bag in a 15-second spot, tracked through camera moves, changing angles and partial occlusion, while the terrier, the fishbowl and the cuts stay as they were.

Upload one to three clean product photos as references and name the product in the prompt so its label and shape stay put.

Product Spots with Convincing Materials – Seedance 2.0 — Prompt (abridged): Replace all dog food packaging appearing in @Video 1 with the new packaging design shown in @Image 1. Automatically detect and track every dog food bag in each frame of the video, including foreground, midground, and background instances, across different angles, motion states, and partial occlusions. All original actions, people, environments, camera movement, composition, pacing, and all other elements must remain completely unchanged. (Seedance 2.0 · 16:9 · 15s)

FAQs

What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance Seed’s audio-video model, launched on February 12, 2026. It generates up to 15 seconds of multi-shot video with sound from text, images and video references, and was built for stable motion, believable physics and consistent characters. Yovid runs it in the browser and through the API alongside Seedance 2.5, Kling, Veo and other models.

How long can a Seedance 2.0 video be?

From 4 to 15 seconds per generation, in one clip that can contain several shots. For a single take of up to 30 seconds, use Seedance 2.5.

Is Seedance 2.0 free on Yovid?

Creating an account is free and comes with credits for the free-plan models, including Seedance 2.0 Mini. Seedance 2.0 itself is available on the Lite plan and above or with any one-time credit pack, and 480p keeps test runs cheap.

How many credits does Seedance 2.0 use?

At credit-pack base rates: about 2.3 credits per second at 480p, 5 at 720p and 11.3 at 1080p, so a 5-second 720p clip is 25 credits. With a reference clip it is about 3 credits per second at 720p, counted on the clip’s length plus the output. Subscribers pay less per second.

What is the difference between Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5?

Seedance 2.5 goes to 30 seconds, takes up to 30 images and 10 clips as references, and adds edit, extend and 480p draft modes. Seedance 2.0 stops at 15 seconds with 9 images and 3 clips, and costs about 18–25% less per second, so it is the better buy for clips that fit in 15 seconds.

Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.0 Mini: which should I use?

Mini is the cheaper option, tops out at 720p and runs on the free plan, which makes it good for testing ideas. Seedance 2.0 renders up to 1080p and is the one to use for the version you publish.

Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio and dialogue?

Yes. Sound is on by default: dialogue, ambience, effects and music are generated with the picture in two-channel audio. Put spoken lines in quotes and keep all dialogue in one language; ByteDance advises against mixing languages in one clip. You can switch sound off for any generation.

What can I upload as a reference?

A first frame with an optional last frame, or up to 9 images and 3 video clips for reference-to-video. Insert each file into the prompt with @, such as @Image 1 or @Video 2, and say what it controls: a face, a product, a location or a camera move.

Why did my Seedance 2.0 video fail?

The most common reason is ByteDance’s content rules: prompts or references with real people, photorealistic faces or celebrity likenesses are often rejected. Try an illustrated or stylized character, or switch to Kling 3.0, which does not have these limits.

Can I use Seedance 2.0 videos commercially?

Commercial use is included on Pro, Premium, yearly plans and one-time credit packs; Lite monthly does not include it. You are responsible for the rights to your prompts and references, including faces, logos and music.
