Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video generation model that prioritizes resolution over duration. When you need a 15-second clip in 4K rather than a longer piece at up to 1080p, Seedance 2.0 is the right tool. It generates from text, images, or a combination of reference material, with sound included in the same pass.
Why creators choose Seedance 2.0
Seedance 2.0 trades length for resolution. When a 15-second clip needs to be sharp and detailed, Seedance 2.0 goes up to 4K. It's the go-to for hero shots, close-ups, and product work where pixel-level clarity matters for your final deliverable.
High-resolution output
At 4K, Seedance 2.0 is the sharpest Seedance option on Craze. That clarity is essential for close-up work, text overlay, and brand assets where individual pixels matter. If your deliverable goes to a large screen, a projection, or print export, 4K makes a real difference in perceived quality. 480p, 720p, and 1080p are also available on Craze if you're targeting mobile or social media, but 4K gives you the highest fidelity.
Consistent character across takes
Like Seedance 2.5, it takes multiple reference images and videos at once. Feed it character sheets, product photos, and motion reference, and it draws on all of them together. The references help the same person or object stay on-model across different shots. This is critical for commercials, character-driven narratives, or product work where consistency between shots is non-negotiable.
Sound and picture together
It generates sound and video in a single pass, optional on Craze. Leave sound off for music videos or dialog-heavy spots where you'll add your own audio in the edit. The integrated sound generation saves a step when you want sound in the final clip.
Fast iteration on hero shots
Seedance 2.0 generations are quick, so you can regenerate a shot that misses and stay in the creative flow. When you're dialing in a 15-second hero shot, the faster turnaround means you can try variations without waiting.
Reference control for consistency
You can start a clip from a first frame and end it on a last frame, ensuring the composition stays within your framing. This level of control is valuable when the opening and closing shots matter as much as the motion between them.
How to use Seedance 2.0 in Craze
You describe the shot and Craze handles the rest.
- Start a project and describe what you want to see. Add reference images or videos if you need the model to match a look, a character, or motion.
- Name Seedance 2.0 or let Craze show you available options with their prices before planning.
- Craze writes the prompt for each shot and generates with your references.
- Review and regenerate any shot that misses. Then move on to editing.
Add specific direction to your brief when it matters: a camera move, the timing of a beat, or a specific look. Craze carries your brief into the prompt.
Seedance 2.0 pricing
Seedance 2.0 is billed per second of video. The rate scales with resolution: 480p is the lowest cost, and each step up through 720p, 1080p, and 4K costs more. Using reference images costs less than using reference video, so a text-to-video generation is less expensive than a reference-to-video generation at the same resolution. $0.075 per second of video The calculator on this page shows the exact cost for the resolution and reference type you choose before you generate.
Who Seedance 2.0 is for
Close-ups and hero shots
When the viewer is inches from the screen, 4K clarity pays off. Use Seedance 2.0 for hero product shots, actor close-ups, and anything that needs to look polished on a large display. The resolution holds up to scrutiny in ways lower resolutions cannot.
Short-form premium content
A 15-second clip at 1080p or 4K is enough for a hero TikTok, Instagram Reel, or YouTube Shorts. The resolution holds up to zooming and cropping on mobile, so your shot stays sharp and clear even when viewers zoom in or crop it.
Product and commercial work
Brands expect crisp, detailed output. Seedance 2.0's 4K capability matches that expectation, especially when you're working with reference product shots. The combination of high resolution and reference control makes it ideal for product launches and commercial spots.
Seedance 2.0 vs Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.0 maxes out at 15 seconds and 4K. Seedance 2.5 runs up to 30 seconds and takes 30 images and 10 video clips as references, but stops at 1080p. Choose Seedance 2.0 when resolution is your priority or when you need 4K for a short, high-detail shot. Choose Seedance 2.5 when you need length, more reference capacity, or the ability to cut between multiple shots in one generation. For a hero shot that must be sharp, Seedance 2.0 is the clear choice. For a scene that plays out over 30 seconds with multiple camera angles, Seedance 2.5 is the better fit.
Seedance 2.0 vs Seedance 2.0 Fast
Seedance 2.0 Fast is a faster, cheaper variant that maxes out at 720p. Seedance 2.0 goes up to 4K and takes longer to generate. Choose Seedance 2.0 Fast for quick iteration on social media clips. Choose standard Seedance 2.0 when 1080p or 4K is a requirement for your deliverable.
