Start with the result you need. Each Seedance model emphasizes a different balance of control, speed, efficiency, audio, and storytelling.
Choose it when
You need longer continuity, complex references, targeted revisions, or a more complete audiovisual sequence.
Choose it when
You want broad multimodal control without specifically needing the longer 2.5 workflow.
Choose it when
You expect to test several directions before selecting a final concept.
Choose it when
You need more draft volume and do not need the full capability ceiling of the larger models.
Choose it when
Voice, dialogue, performance, and synchronized sound are central to the scene.
Choose it when
You mainly need strong visual generation and do not require newer native audio or advanced multimodal controls.
Seedance AI is ByteDance Seed’s video-generation model family. It has evolved from text and image-driven video into a broader audiovisual creation system with native sound, multimodal references, editing, and longer-form storytelling.
Create video from written prompts or use an image to establish the subject, product, environment, composition, or style.
Seedance was designed to handle movement and connected shots rather than only animate a single static composition.
Newer generations can generate sound and visuals together, supporting dialogue, ambience, effects, and performance.
The 2.x generation can use multiple media types to guide appearance, motion, framing, camera language, and sound.
Newer Seedance workflows support more control over existing or generated video instead of requiring every change to begin from zero.
Seedance 2.5 extends the family toward longer audiovisual storytelling and more production-oriented workflows.

Best for
Longer stories and advanced control
Key difference
Up to 30-second storytelling, stronger references, extension, editing, and production tools
Trade-off
More capability than necessary for simple drafts
Best for
General-purpose multimodal creation
Key difference
Unified text, image, video, and audio workflow with native audiovisual generation
Trade-off
Does not offer the full long-form and production workflow of 2.5
Best for
Rapid testing
Key difference
Prioritizes iteration speed and creative variation
Trade-off
Not intended to maximize every final-output dimension
Best for
Efficient experimentation
Key difference
Lightweight option for drafts and repeated creation
Trade-off
Lower production headroom than full 2.0
Best for
Dialogue and performance
Key difference
Introduced native joint audio-video generation
Trade-off
Fewer multimodal reference and editing capabilities than 2.x
Best for
Visual-only generation
Key difference
Strong text/image video, motion, and native multi-shot storytelling
Trade-off
No native joint audio and fewer advanced controls

The newest model is not automatically the most efficient model for every job. Choose based on the amount of control, iteration speed, references, audio, and storytelling length your project actually needs.
Seedance can support different stages of a video workflow, from first-frame animation and concept testing to character performance and longer cinematic sequences.
Text to Video
Define the subject, action, environment, camera, lighting, and style.
Image to Video
Keep the visual foundation while directing movement, camera behavior, atmosphere, and scene progression.
Character
Explore expressions, body movement, dialogue, sound, and camera direction.
Product
Use references to guide product appearance while developing movement, environment, lighting, and camera work.
Multimodal
Use supported image, video, and audio inputs to communicate direction that is difficult to express with text alone.
Storytelling
Move beyond a single visual moment with camera changes, action progression, and narrative structure.
Seedance focuses on how subjects and scenes develop over time, not only on creating an attractive first frame.
The family supports connected shots and camera changes for more cinematic storytelling.
Depending on the model, creators can work with text, images, video, audio, or combinations of reference media.
Later generations can create sound with the visuals, reducing the need to treat audio as a completely separate step.
The family offers different options for final-quality work, multimodal creation, rapid iteration, efficient drafts, and simpler visual generation.
01
Start with the model selector and match the model to your goal: quality, longer storytelling, multimodal references, audio, iteration speed, or efficiency.
02
Select the text-to-video, image-to-video, or reference workflow currently supported by that model.
03
Describe the subject, action, environment, camera, lighting, pacing, and style.
04
Use supported images, video, or audio when a reference communicates the intended character, product, movement, camera language, or sound more clearly than text.
05
Review motion, consistency, composition, pacing, and sound. Refine one variable at a time or switch models when the workflow needs a different balance of speed and control.
Longer storytelling
For longer sequences, advanced references, editing, extension, and production-focused creative control.
