Camera movement: smooth tracking shot.

This natural language approach means you spend less time fighting with prompts and more time creating.

Getting Started

Seedance 2.0 is currently in limited testing. As an official Day 0 launch partner, we're among the first platforms to offer access once the API goes live.

What to Prepare:

  1. Reference materials (images, videos, audio clips)
  2. A clear vision of your desired output
  3. Natural language descriptions of how references should be applied

Best Practices:

  • Start with 2-3 references for simple projects
  • Use high-quality source materials (1080p recommended)
  • Be specific about which elements to reference from each file
  • Experiment with different reference combinations

The Future of Video Creation

Seedance 2.0 represents a fundamental shift from text-based prompting to reference-based creation. Instead of describing what you want in words, you can now show the AI examples and have it intelligently combine them.

This is video generation for filmmakers, not prompt engineers.
