Seedance 2 Input Modalities: Text, Image, Video & Audio

Most video AI accepts text and maybe an image. Seedance 2 accepts up to 12 mixed inputs across four modalities — combine character photos, motion reference clips, voiceover audio, and text direction into a single coherent generation.

edit

Text to Video

Upload a voiceover track → Seedance 2 generates a character speaking those exact words with perfect lip sync

Native Audio: Four Layers, Zero Post-Processing

Seedance 2 doesn't bolt audio onto silent video — it generates four distinct audio layers as part of the core pipeline. Every sound is synchronized to on-screen action at the frame level.

record_voice_overDialogue

Character speech with phoneme-level lip sync across 8+ languages including English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and regional Chinese dialects

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Seedance 2?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest AI video generation model, released in February 2026. Developed by ByteDance's Seed research team — the same group behind TikTok's recommendation systems — with labs in China, Singapore, and the United States. It generates cinematic video with natively synchronized audio from text, image, video, and audio inputs. The model accepts up to 12 reference files simultaneously, outputs at native 2K resolution, and produces four audio layers (dialogue, foley, ambient, music) without any post-processing.

How do I get early access to Seedance 2?

Seedance 2.0 was first released on ByteDance's Jianying app (China only) and will eventually roll out to CapCut globally. As an official Seedance partner, TwoShot provides immediate global access — sign up, get free credits, and start generating. No waitlist, no VPN, no Chinese app store account required.

Is Seedance 2 free to use?

TwoShot offers free credits to try Seedance 2 video generation with no subscription or credit card required. Both Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2 Standard modes are available on the free tier. Generate, preview with native audio, and download in 2K. Paid plans are available for higher volume generation and priority processing.

How does Seedance 2 compare to Sora?

Seedance 2 leads in resolution (native 2K vs 1080p), multimodal input (12 reference files vs text/image), native audio with phoneme-level lip sync in 8+ languages, and character consistency across multi-shot sequences. Sora leads in maximum video duration (25 seconds vs 15 seconds) and is the current benchmark for physical realism and gravity simulation. For production work where resolution, audio, and character consistency matter, Seedance 2 has the edge.

How does Seedance 2 compare to Kling 3?

Kling 3.0 leads in native resolution (4K vs 2K), camera control (AI Director with 6 cuts), and multi-person scene management (3-person tracking). Seedance 2 leads in multimodal input flexibility (12 mixed reference files), audio generation (4-layer native audio vs Kling's dialogue-focused audio), and global accessibility. Both models represent the leading edge of AI video generation in 2026.

What does native audio generation mean?

Most AI video generators produce silent video, requiring a separate text-to-speech or sound design step. Seedance 2 generates audio as part of its core pipeline — dialogue, ambient sounds, foley effects, and music are created simultaneously with the video and synchronized at the frame level. Lip movements match speech phonemes, footsteps land on the right surface, and environmental audio matches the visual scene, all from a single generation pass.

What resolution and duration does Seedance 2 support?

Seedance 2 generates video at up to native 2K resolution (2048px) at 30 frames per second — the highest resolution output of any multimodal AI video model. Clips range from 4 to 15 seconds. Six aspect ratios are available: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9 ultrawide.

Can I use Seedance 2 for text-to-video?

Yes. Text-to-video is one of four input modalities. Describe your scene in natural language — characters, setting, camera movement, lighting, dialogue — and Seedance 2 generates the video with synchronized audio. The model understands complex cinematographic direction and can produce multi-shot narratives from a single detailed prompt.

Can I use Seedance 2 for image-to-video?

Yes. Upload one or more images as references — character portraits, scene compositions, style guides, storyboard frames — and Seedance 2 generates video that preserves the visual identity, clothing, facial features, and art style of your references. You can combine image references with text direction and audio inputs in a single generation.

Can I upload references to maintain character consistency?

Yes. Seedance 2 accepts up to 12 mixed reference files — images, videos, and audio. The model maintains extreme character consistency, preserving facial features, clothing, and visual style across generations. This makes multi-shot narratives possible where the same character appears across different scenes, camera angles, and lighting conditions without visual drift.

What languages does Seedance 2 support for dialogue?

Over 8 languages including English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Indonesian, and several regional Chinese dialects. Phoneme-level lip sync works across all supported languages, producing natural mouth movement regardless of the spoken language.

How is TwoShot different from using Seedance 2 directly?

TwoShot is an official Seedance partner, providing direct global access to the model. Unlike ByteDance's own Jianying (China only) and the upcoming CapCut rollout, TwoShot lets you use Seedance 2 alongside Veo 3, Kling 3.0, and other models in one multi-model creative platform. Compare outputs across models for the same prompt, pay as you go with no subscription lock-in, and access via any browser without downloading regional apps.

Does Seedance 2 have an API?

ByteDance has not released a public Seedance 2 API for direct integration. TwoShot provides programmatic access to Seedance 2 through its creative assistant platform — describe what you want in natural language and the AI handles model selection, parameter tuning, and output delivery.
