What Seedance 2.0 is best for
Animating your product shots and portraits
Upload a product shot, portrait or landscape and Seedance 2.0 turns it into a moving clip. No photo yet? Create one first with the AI image generator, then animate it here.
Clips sized for social feeds
Choose a tall vertical frame for short-form feeds, or a square or landscape frame for posts. Make the same idea in two shapes so each channel gets a clip that fits, in up to 1080p.
Everyday marketing and product videos
Turn a product photo into a short promo for a launch, a sale or your website banner. Use a 10-second clip to show the product from more than one moment, and a 5-second clip for an ad that loops.
How to use the Seedance 2.0 AI video generator
- 1
Choose text to video or image to video
Open the video generator with Seedance 2.0 selected. Type a prompt that describes your scene, or upload a photo to animate. For product shots, the background remover can give you a cleaner starting image.
- 2
Set length, quality and shape
Pick a length of 5 or 10 seconds, a resolution of 480p, 720p or 1080p, and one of 5 aspect ratios. Lower settings use fewer credits, so drafts cost less and your final version can go up to 1080p.
- 3
Generate and download
Press generate and your clip is saved in your gallery when it is ready. Download it, or adjust the prompt and run it again until the motion and framing feel right.
Aspect ratios for every screen
Seedance 2.0 supports 5 aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4. Use widescreen for YouTube, websites and presentations, and tall vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Square suits feed posts and ads, while the in-between landscape and portrait shapes fit product pages and catalog layouts. If your photo is the wrong shape, extend it first with the AI image resizer.
Seedance 2.0 prompt tips
- Write one clear scene: who or what is in frame, what they do, where it happens and how the camera moves.
- For image to video, describe the motion you want rather than what is already in the picture, and sharpen a soft photo first with the AI image upscaler.
- Keep one main movement per clip, such as a slow pan or a person turning, so the motion stays easy to follow.
- Add lighting and mood words such as 'soft morning light' or 'warm neon glow' to steer the look of the clip.
