What Is Seedance 2.0? AI Video Explained

The short answer

Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generation model available in this browser studio. You describe a shot in text or upload a still, and the model returns a short video clip. On the Pro variant it also accepts audio as a timing source. What separates Seedance 2.0 from newer models is its finishing toolkit: Retake, Extend, HDR Upscale and Video Reframe let you repair or reshape a clip after generation instead of starting over.

What Seedance 2.0 does

The model covers the three inputs most short-form work needs:

• Text-to-video. Describe the subject, action, camera move and light, then generate.
• Image-to-video. Upload a product still, portrait or frame and direct the motion.
• Audio-to-video on Pro. Use an audio track as the timing source for a video pass.

The base model lists 480p and 720p; the Pro variant runs from 720p to 4K. The rate table prices each resolution separately, and the studio shows the credit cost before a run starts. You can read the full capability list on the Seedance 2.0 page.

How it differs from Seedance 2.5

The two models share a prompt box and a credit balance, so the choice is about the shot. Seedance 2.5 focuses on native multishot: connected scenes keep character, lighting and environment consistent across cuts. Seedance 2.0 focuses on finishing. It is the model to pick when a clip needs a retake, an extension, an HDR upscale or a different frame, or when you need square and wider delivery sizes.

What the finishing tools do

These are the capabilities that make Seedance 2.0 useful after the first generation:

• Retake reworks a section of the clip without regenerating the whole shot.
• Extend lengthens a clip that ends too soon.
• HDR Upscale moves a selected clip up to a 4K HDR delivery.
• Video Reframe changes the frame for a different placement.

All four are listed for Seedance 2.0 Pro. They are priced per second separately from generation: for example, Retake and Extend are listed at $0.10 per second at 1080p, and Video Reframe at $0.10 per second at 720p and $0.20 at 1080p. The pricing page carries the current numbers.

Resolution and delivery sizes

Seedance 2.0 offers 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4K tiers. It also accepts first and last frame references, which matters when a shot has to start or end on an exact composition. Rate changes with resolution: 2.0 Pro is listed at $0.04 per second at 720p and $0.32 per second at 4K. Because one credit equals one cent at the studio's $1 = 100 credits rate, that is 4 and 32 credits per second respectively.

How billing works

Credits are the only currency in the studio. Every generation shows its cost before you confirm, and unused credits do not expire. The three one-time packs are:

• Starter: 999 credits for $9.99.
• Standard: 5,199 credits for $49.99.
• Premium: 10,999 credits for $99.99.

A five-second 720p clip on Seedance 2.0 Fast costs about 15 credits at the published $0.03 per second rate. The same clip on 2.0 Pro is about 20 credits at $0.04 per second. Longer clips and higher resolutions scale from there. The pricing page has the live table.

Who it is for

Seedance 2.0 fits three kinds of work:

1. Iterative drafting. The lower published rate makes it the cheaper model for testing prompts and blocking shots.
2. Repair work. When a clip is 90% right, Retake and Extend save a full regeneration.
3. Frame control. First and last frame references give an image-to-video shot a defined start and end.

It is not the first choice when a sequence needs several connected shots with consistent characters. That is the job Seedance 2.5 was built for.

FAQ

Is Seedance 2.0 a video model or an editing tool?

It is both. The model generates text-to-video and image-to-video clips, and the Pro variant adds audio-to-video plus Retake, Extend, HDR Upscale and Video Reframe for post-generation work.

Does Seedance 2.0 support audio?

Yes, on Seedance 2.0 Pro. Audio-to-video is priced separately from text-to-video and image-to-video in the published rate table.

What is the maximum resolution?

The Pro variant reaches 4K, with 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4K tiers; the base model lists 480p and 720p. Each tier has its own per-second rate.

Can I try it without buying a pack?

You need credits to run a generation. The smallest pack is 999 credits for $9.99, and credits never expire, so you can spread them across sessions.

Conclusion

Seedance 2.0 is the model for shots that need finishing, broader delivery sizes and cost-controlled iteration. If your project is a connected multi-shot sequence instead, start with Seedance 2.5. Either way, open the generator and check the credit pricing before you plan a batch.
