Cinematic VFX racing sequence shot on Arri Alexa 35 with anamorphic lenses featuring a low-profile tracking shot following a high-performance race car tearing through a rain-drenched circuit at extreme speeds. As the engine roars, the scene shifts into a hyper-realistic bullet-time sequence where time slows to a crawl, capturing millions of crystalline rain droplets suspended in mid-air around the aerodynamic chassis.
Sci-fi cinematic VFX action shot featuring a sleek titanium-alloy mecha with glowing cyan thrusters and weathered combat armor. The shot begins at a low-angle ground level as the mecha crouches, thrusters roaring with blinding light and creating a massive shockwave of dust and debris.
Original suspense action anime trailer. Two silver-haired sisters hunt down a buried old case in a cold-toned city. Scenes cut between classrooms, rooftops, subway stations, rainy night streets and high-rise corridors. Restrained expressions, sharp movements, with occasional quick character cut-ins and emotional outbursts.
Original dark fantasy short film. An eccentric mage runs a mysterious agency in a narrow, damp, steamy alley. Dim kerosene lamps, floating paper talismans, mechanical crows, spinning potion bottles. Handheld camera with slight shake and slow push-in.
15s cinematic medieval drama shot on ARRI Alexa 65. A knight in intricately engraved, battle-worn golden armor and a dark blue cape kneels in the muddy rain over a fallen comrade. The camera slowly tilts up as the golden knight gently rests a hand on the fallen soldier's chest.
Professional photography TVC style beverage advertisement. Rapid editing: close-up of a man suddenly opening his eyes, switching to a back view of someone running on city streets at night. A montage showing different groups of people regaining vitality after drinking the beverage during moments of fatigue.
A little mouse travels through a forest to a cowboy restaurant. After crossing the forest, turn right to reach the main entrance first, and then enter the interior of the cowboy restaurant.
15s cinematic sci-fi transformation sequence. A cool-toned, determined young woman warrior with short silver hair in a sleek black leather suit standing on a war-torn rooftop. As she engages her high-tech waist belt, violet energy surges through her eyes. Mechanical morphing sequence with glowing circuits and metallic armor plating assembling over her body.
GET STARTED

How It Works

1

Choose Your Mode

Pick from three generation modes: Text-to-Video for prompt-only creation, Image-to-Video with first/last frame anchors, or Multimodal to combine images, videos, and audio clips as references using @labels in your prompt.

2

Configure & Prompt

Select Fast for rapid iteration or Pro for polished output. Set resolution, aspect ratio, and duration (4-15s). Enable Web Search for real-world visual grounding or Audio for synchronized sound generation. Write your scene description and hit Generate.

3

Generate & Download

Your video is generated in approximately 30-40 seconds. Preview it directly in the browser with embedded audio, then download the MP4 — ready to post, edit, or chain into longer sequences using the return-last-frame option.

What Is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's most advanced AI video generation model, released in early 2026. It currently holds the #1 position on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena leaderboard for both text-to-video (Elo 1,273) and image-to-video (Elo 1,356), surpassing Kling 3.0, Google Veo 3, OpenAI Sora 2, and Runway Gen-4.5.

The model introduces true quad-modal input — accepting text, images, video clips, and audio files simultaneously. This means you can provide a face photo, a motion reference video, and a voice clip in a single generation, and the model will synthesize them into a coherent video. The @binding system lets you link specific text tokens in your prompt to specific uploaded assets, giving precise control over which reference governs which part of the output.

Seedance 2.0 generates audio and video jointly in a single forward pass, producing temporally aligned dialogue, ambient soundscapes, sound effects, and music. Its improved physics simulation handles collisions with realistic weight, fabric dynamics, and natural character motion even in high-action sequences. Combined with web search grounding for real-world visual reference, it delivers the most versatile and highest-quality AI video generation available today.

CAPABILITIES

Key Features

The most capable AI video model, ranked #1 globally across text-to-video and image-to-video benchmarks.

Quad-Modal Input

Combine text, images, video clips, and audio files in a single generation. Upload up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio clips as references, and use @labels to bind them to specific parts of your prompt.

Native Audio Co-Generation

Audio and video generated jointly in a single forward pass — not stitched after the fact. Dialogue, ambient soundscapes, sound effects, and music are temporally aligned with the visuals from the ground up.

Web Search Grounding

Enable web search to let the model pull real-world visual references from the internet. Generates more accurate content for specific people, places, brands, and visual styles by grounding in actual imagery.

Fast & Quality Tiers

Fast mode for rapid iteration and preview — check layouts, timing, and composition at lower cost. Quality (Pro) mode for maximum visual fidelity with stable textures, detailed faces, and polished final output.

Advanced Physics Simulation

Realistic collisions with weight, fabric tearing and draping, fluid dynamics, and natural character motion in high-action sequences. A major leap over previous models in physical plausibility.

Flexible Duration Control

Generate videos from 4 to 15 seconds with fine-grained control. Chain clips using the return-last-frame option to build longer sequences with consistent visual continuity across shots.
