About Seedance 2.0
Seedance 2.0 is the second generation of Seedance, the video model from ByteDance's Seed team. In Kinoseed it works from a text prompt alone, from a start frame, from a start and an end frame together, or from up to 9 reference images in a dedicated reference mode.
It renders at 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, with clips of 5, 8 or 10 seconds. Sound is generated with the picture and is part of the price, so there is no separate audio charge and no reason to switch it off.

Clips are 5, 8 or 10 seconds long at 480p, 720p or 1080p, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional and doubles the price. At 480p without sound it is the lowest-cost video model in the Kinoseed studio.
