Cinematic Text-to-Video up to 1080p with Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's cinematic AI video generation model. It creates videos from 4 to 15 seconds long at up to 1080p, with synchronized audio — dialogue, sound effects, and background music — generated by default. On Scenetra it comes in three modes: Text to Video, Image to Video, and Reference to Video, each available as a node in the visual workflow editor.

The model itself is paid — it's billed per second of generated video. But you can try it without paying: new Scenetra accounts start with free welcome credits and a 7-day trial, which covers your first generations. After that it's pay-per-generation from your credit balance, with no subscription gating the model. Be wary of sites promising 'free unlimited' Seedance 2.0 — the underlying model has real per-second compute costs.

Yes. Scenetra is web-based, so Seedance 2.0 works from the USA or anywhere else with a browser — no APK, no VPN, no Chinese app account. Sign up, drop a Seedance 2.0 node onto your board, write a prompt, and generate.

On Scenetra, Seedance 2.0 costs about $0.11 per second at 480p, $0.24 per second at 720p, and $0.54 per second at 1080p, audio included. A 5-second 720p clip is about $1.22; 10 seconds at 1080p is about $5.47. You only pay for what you generate.

No — there's no unlimited plan, on Scenetra or anywhere that runs the real model, because every second of video has a compute cost. Scenetra bills per generation from a credit balance instead of locking the model behind a subscription tier: generate 3 videos this month or 300, you pay for exactly those.

It depends on the job. Seedance 2.0's strengths are cinematic motion, native synchronized audio, a full-HD 1080p tier, and a cheap 480p drafting rate. Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 are stronger picks for some styles and prompt types. On Scenetra you don't have to commit — all of them sit side by side on the same board, so you can run one prompt through each and compare the results directly.

Seedance 2.5 is the newer generation: it goes up to 30 seconds (vs 15), adds a high-fidelity mov output option, and accepts far more reference media. Seedance 2.0 keeps two advantages — a 1080p output tier (2.5 caps at 720p) and a lower per-second price ($0.24/s vs about $0.30/s at 720p). Both are on Scenetra, so you can pick per project.

Yes — audio is on by default. The model generates synchronized voice, sound effects, and background music together with the picture, so dialogue is lip-synced without post-processing. Toggle it off if you need silent footage; per-second pricing is the same either way.
