Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 / Capabilities — Text accepts no media; frames requires a first frame and allows a last frame; reference requires a prompt and at least one image, video, or audio reference. Reference media cannot be sent with endpoint-frame fields. Seedance 2.0 supports three mutually exclusive text, frame, and multimodal-reference scenes. The current callable output set is 720p, 1080p, and 4K for 4–15 seconds; video-reference requests are available only at 1080p or 4K because those are the current priced combinations. 164–3,840 credits per request

Seedance 2.0 / Three mutually exclusive input scenes — Text accepts no media; frames requires a first frame and allows a last frame; reference requires a prompt and at least one image, video, or audio reference. Reference media cannot be sent with endpoint-frame fields.
Seedance 2.0 / Upload limit — Kyeo AI allows JPG/JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF/BMP/TIFF images up to 30 MB, videos up to 50 MB, and audio up to 15 MB. Reference mode accepts 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files, with separate 15-second aggregate limits for video and audio. Images must be 300–6000 pixels on each side with a 0.4–2.5 ratio; reference videos must be 300–6000 pixels on each side, have 409600–927408 pixels total, and run at 24–60 fps.

Selection guide

Use these decision points when choosing a model.

1
Choose the scene from the available input / Seedance 2.0

Choose the scene from the available input / Seedance 2.0 — Use text when there is no media, frames for a required first frame and optional last frame, or reference for image, video, or audio guidance. The paths are mutually exclusive, so confirm the available media before creating the task.

2
Compare standard and Fast with matched requests / Seedance 2.0

Compare standard and Fast with matched requests / Seedance 2.0 — Seedance 2.0 supports three mutually exclusive text, frame, and multimodal-reference scenes. The current callable output set is 720p, 1080p, and 4K for 4–15 seconds; video-reference requests are available only at 1080p or 4K because those are the current priced combinations.

3
Start with the smallest valid request / Seedance 2.0

Start with the smallest valid request / Seedance 2.0 — Begin at 720p and 4 seconds in one scene. In reference mode, start with one media type and confirm the input, audio, returned last frame, and result. Then add media or duration one item at a time and recalculate the credits.

Practical usage insights

Practical guidance based on public sources, current on-site limits, and representative tasks.

The default combination also uses the current rates / Seedance 2.0

The default combination also uses the current rates / Seedance 2.0 — Current callable combinations: without a reference video, 720p/1080p/4K cost 41/102/208 credits per output second. With reference video, 1080p/4K cost 62/128 credits per input-plus-output second. Requests reserve the full estimate and settle against successful actual usage.

A higher rate is not a quality guarantee / Seedance 2.0

A higher rate is not a quality guarantee / Seedance 2.0 — Every standard rate is above the corresponding Fast rate, but a higher price does not guarantee better image quality, instruction following, stability, or success rate.

Capabilities

Three mutually exclusive input scenes

Three mutually exclusive input scenes — Text accepts no media; frames requires a first frame and allows a last frame; reference requires a prompt and at least one image, video, or audio reference. Reference media cannot be sent with endpoint-frame fields.

Eight controls and dynamic credit calculation

Eight controls and dynamic credit calculation — Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K, seven aspect ratios including adaptive, 4–15 seconds, synchronized audio, final-frame return, web search, and content checking. When a reference video is present, only 1080p and 4K are available.

Count, format, size, and duration rules for media

Count, format, size, and duration rules for media — Kyeo AI allows JPG/JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF/BMP/TIFF images up to 30 MB, videos up to 50 MB, and audio up to 15 MB. Reference mode accepts 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files, with separate 15-second aggregate limits for video and audio. Images must be 300–6000 pixels on each side with a 0.4–2.5 ratio; reference videos must be 300–6000 pixels on each side, have 409600–927408 pixels total, and run at 24–60 fps. Upload metadata is verified again before generation.

Use cases

A text-only shot sample

Submit only a prompt in the text scene, keep ratio, resolution, and duration fixed, and review the shot, movement, audio, and any rendered text against the brief.

A first-frame or endpoint-frame transition

The frames scene requires a first frame and can add a last frame. It anchors endpoints, but intermediate people, objects, text, and motion still require frame-by-frame review.

A matched multimodal comparison

Assign a role to each image, video, or audio file in reference mode, then run the same input through Fast. Reference media does not guarantee consistent results.

Prompt tips

Write observable camera and action requirements

Describe framing, camera movement, subject action, environmental change, dialogue, and sound in sequence. Replace labels such as 'cinematic' or 'perfectly stable' with reviewable conditions.

Assign a specific role to every reference

State which image supplies subject or composition, which clip supplies motion or camera behavior, and which audio file supplies timing.

Change one variable at a time

Complete a 720p, 4-second request first, then change resolution, duration, media, or model version separately. Recalculate credits on every request so the source of a difference remains visible.

Why choose it

Capabilities — Three explicit scene modes cover text, first or first-and-last frames, and multimodal references.
Resolution — Seedance 2.0 supports three mutually exclusive text, frame, and multimodal-reference scenes. The current callable output set is 720p, 1080p, and 4K for 4–15 seconds; video-reference requests are available only at 1080p or 4K because those are the current priced combinations.
Upload limit — The page checks reference counts and the total duration of video and audio inputs.
Credit cost — The current media combination can be priced before task creation.

What to know first

Seedance 2.0 / NSFW check — The NSFW check defaults off; whether enabled or not, it does not replace manual content, rights, and publication review.
Seedance 2.0 / Runtime — Compare matched requests and record queueing, runtime, failures, and retries instead of treating the name as a guarantee.
Seedance 2.0 / Category — No. Review people, voices, text, products, trademarks, copyright, likeness rights, and advertising claims. Uploading image, video, or audio references—or enabling web search—does not grant rights or publication clearance.
