Seedance 2.0 Video Generator
Use Seedance 2.0 Fast on Epochal for fast AI video generation, video refinement, and result management in one workspace for creation, refinement, and export.
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance Seed's officially launched video generation system announced on February 12, 2026. ByteDance positions it around a unified multimodal audio-video generation architecture that supports text, image, audio, and video inputs. The official launch and product pages also emphasize editing, extension, stronger controllability, and higher-quality 15-second multi-shot audio-video output. On the current Epochal page, Seedance 2.0 is exposed as a short-form text-to-video and image-to-video workflow.
Key Capabilities
Official multimodal input support
ByteDance's official Seedance 2.0 materials describe support for text, image, audio, and video inputs instead of limiting the model to prompt-only generation.
Editing and extension in the official model line
The official launch post explicitly describes targeted video editing and prompt-driven video extension as part of the Seedance 2.0 system.
Short-form generation controls on the current page
On Epochal, the current Seedance 2.0 page exposes practical controls for aspect ratio, resolution, duration, audio generation, and optional web search.
Shared model family for text-to-video and image-to-video
The same Seedance 2.0 entry on the current site supports both prompt-led video generation and image-led motion generation.
How to Use Seedance 2.0 Fast
Describe the subject, motion, camera behavior, pacing, and scene atmosphere you want to generate.
Choose aspect ratio, resolution, and duration before generation so the clip fits the target layout or delivery channel.
Enable audio when the first pass should already be evaluated as an audio-visual result instead of motion alone.
Run the first short clip, then revise the prompt or output controls if timing, framing, or motion still needs another pass.
Pricing & Credits
Each generation with Seedance 2.0 Fast consumes credits inside Epochal.
Processing time varies with queue state, selected resolution, chosen duration, and whether audio is enabled.
Use the active workflow cost shown on the page as the current credit reference for Seedance 2.0. On Epochal, cost changes with duration and resolution.
Use Cases
Prompt-led short video drafts
Use Seedance 2.0 when a written scene idea needs to become a short motion draft quickly.
Aspect-ratio testing across channels
Use it when the same motion concept needs to be compared across portrait, square, and landscape outputs.
Audio-on first-pass review
Use it when the generation decision should already include whether sound improves the clip.
One model family for prompt and reference workflows
Use Seedance 2.0 when prompt-led drafts and image-to-video follow-ups should stay inside one model family.
Output & Quality
Seedance 2.0 is best understood as ByteDance's official multimodal video system, while the current Epochal page focuses on a compact short-form text-to-video and image-to-video control surface.
- - Short-form prompt-led video generation
- - Teams comparing resolution, duration, and aspect ratio across repeated runs
- - Users who want one model family for both text-to-video and image-to-video
- - The current page does not expose every Seedance 2.0 capability described in ByteDance's official materials, such as full editing and extension as separate controls
- - Current Epochal controls are centered on short clip generation rather than the broader official multimodal production stack
