Capabilities

What you can build with Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 is an AI video model built for creators and teams. Turn text and images into cinematic clips, direct every shot, and deliver production-ready video without leaving HeyGen.

Cinematic avatar scenes

Use your AI digital twin in fully directed scenes with custom locations, wardrobe, lighting, gestures and camera movement. Seedance 2.0 keeps your likeness on-model across every cut, so each AI avatar video feels like the same person on the same shoot day.

AI-generated B-roll

Create cinematic cutaways, product visuals, social clips, transitions, and motion scenes from a simple written prompt. Seedance 2.0 works as an AI b-roll generator, turning text into ready-to-cut footage with no stock library required.

Stack shots into sequences and keep character, wardrobe and environment continuous across every cut.

Endless creative styles

Go from text to video in any style you can describe. Create product demos, founder videos, surreal visuals, lifestyle shots, educational explainers and cinematic ads from the same model, all in HeyGen.

Style locks travel with the character – same lighting, same outfit, same vibe – even when the camera and environment change.

Director-level prompting

Control the subject, scene, camera, lighting, movement, mood and pacing in one prompt. Seedance 2.0 understands camera language, so a slow dolly, Dutch angle or macro pull-back lands exactly how you describe it.

Captions are added automatically and resize correctly for vertical, square, and horizontal cuts.

What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is a cinematic AI video model from ByteDance that turns text and images into realistic, motion-rich video clips. It handles camera direction, character consistency, and complex scenes in a single generation. On HeyGen, you can use Seedance 2.0 alongside your AI digital twin and other models in one workflow.

What can I create with Seedance 2?

Seedance 2 generates cinematic, on-brand video from text prompts, reference imagery and storyboards. Use it for ads, trailers, explainers, social edits and full-length scenes with consistent characters and camera direction.

Is Seedance 2.0 free to try?

Yes. You can try Seedance 2.0 free on HeyGen with credits included in every account, no credit card needed to get started. Once you’ve tested it, paid plans unlock higher resolutions, longer clips and more generations per month.

How do I use Seedance 2.0 in HeyGen?

Sign in to HeyGen, open the video editor, and select Seedance 2.0 from the model picker. Type a prompt or drop in a reference image, set your shot direction, and generate. You can chain Seedance 2.0 clips with your AI avatar, B-roll, voice, and music in the same project.

Does Seedance 2 support multiple aspect ratios?

Generate 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 from the same prompt. Cuts come back ready for YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts and paid social — no re-cropping.

Is the output safe for commercial use?

Videos generated with Seedance 2.0 on HeyGen can be used for commercial work, including ads, social posts, product launches and client deliverables, under your HeyGen plan's commercial licence. Free plan output has watermarks. Paid plans remove them and grant full commercial rights.

Can Seedance 2.0 generate lip-sync, voice, and music?

Yes. Seedance 2.0 supports synced lip movement, ambient sound, and on-brand music in the same generation, which means you don't need a separate voiceover or audio pass. On HeyGen, you can swap in your own AI voice clone or upload custom audio if you want full control.

How does Seedance 2.0 compare with Sora, Veo and Kling?

Seedance 2.0 holds its own against OpenAI's Sora, Google Veo, and Kling on visual quality and motion realism, and it leads on character consistency across cuts and native audio in the same pass. The bigger advantage with HeyGen is workflow. You get Seedance 2.0 plus avatars, voice, captions, and editing in one place, instead of stitching outputs across tools.
