Seedance 2
ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 generates cinematic videos from text prompts with synchronized audio — voice, sound effects, and background music. Pick any duration from 4 to 15 seconds and resolutions up to 1080p, with per-second pricing that keeps 480p drafting cheap.
50% less than the priciest provider (7 compared). Same model, same output.
Duration
Duration of the video in seconds (4-15). Billed per second.
Resolution
Video resolution. Higher resolutions cost more per second.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio of the generated video. 'adaptive' follows the prompt or the primary media.
Audio
Synchronized audio: voice, sound effects and music generated in the same pass. Some sellers cannot switch audio off, so turning it off can change the winning price.
Content
What the video contains. Sellers differ in what they allow: 'general' (no faces) can unlock lower prices; 'mature' routes only to sellers without content restrictions.

What makes Seedance 2 different
Synchronized audio, generated with the picture
Seedance 2.0 creates voice, sound effects, and background music together with the video in a single pass — no separate audio model, no lip-sync post-processing. Dialogue matches mouths and footsteps land on frames because sound and picture come from the same generation. Flip one toggle for silent footage.
A real 1080p tier
Alongside 480p and 720p, Seedance 2.0 offers full-HD 1080p output via super-resolution — something the newer Seedance 2.5 does not (it currently caps at 720p). When the deliverable has to be crisp at full screen, 2.0 is the Seedance generation to reach for. Draft cheap at 480p, then re-run the winning prompt at 1080p.
4 to 15 seconds, priced per second
Pick any whole-second duration from 4 to 15. Billing is per second of generated video, so a 4-second draft costs a fraction of a 15-second final — iterate short, commit long. Aspect ratios span 21:9 cinematic wide to 9:16 vertical, or leave it on auto and let the prompt decide.
One model, three modes on one board
Text to Video is one of three Seedance 2.0 modes on Scenetra. Animate a first-frame image (with optional last-frame control) using Image to Video, or drive generations from up to 9 reference images, 3 videos, and 3 audio tracks with Reference to Video. All three run as nodes you can wire into upscalers, sequencers, and other models on the same canvas.

Frequently asked questions
What is 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.
Is Seedance 2.0 really free?+
No. The model itself is paid — it's billed per second of generated video. On Scenetra 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.
Is Seedance 2.0 available in the USA? How can I use it?+
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.
How much does Seedance 2.0 cost per second?+
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.
Is Seedance 2.0 unlimited?+
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.
Is Seedance 2.0 better than Veo 3 or Sora?+
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.
How is Seedance 2.0 different from Seedance 2.5?+
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.
Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio?+
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.
