Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's AI video model, built by its Seed team and released in early February 2026. It generates video and sound together from text, images, audio and video, making 4–15 second clips. ByteDance also ships a Fast version for low-latency use; on Kenerate there is a cheaper Seedance 2.0 Mini as well.

It's billed per second of output. Seedance 2.0 costs 36, 72, 180 or 360 credits a second at 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K. Seedance 2 Fast is 30 / 60 / 150 / 300 and Seedance 2.0 Mini is 18 / 36 / 90 / 180. A 5-second 720p clip is 360 credits on 2.0, 300 on Fast and 180 on Mini. Credits come in one-time packs from $15 for 1,300.

Not on Kenerate's free plan — video needs any one-time credit pack, with no subscription. New accounts get 25 starter credits for images. The cheapest Seedance 2.0 clip is a 4-second Mini clip at 480p for 72 credits. See our Seedance 2.0 free guide for the other routes.

All three take the same inputs, lengths, resolutions and references. Seedance 2.0 gives the best motion and detail, Fast is ByteDance's lower-latency version at about 17% less, and Mini costs half of 2.0. Draft prompts on Mini at 480p, then re-run the one you like on Seedance 2.0.

4 to 15 seconds per clip, in whole seconds. To go longer, extend a clip with new seconds in the studio, or switch to Seedance 2.5, which makes up to 30 seconds per clip.

ByteDance's paper lists native 480p and 720p output. On Kenerate you can pick 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, in 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 or 21:9. Higher resolutions cost more per second, so test at 480p or 720p first.

Yes. It generates audio and video together — effects, ambience and spoken lines from your prompt — and you can add up to 3 audio clips as references. On Kenerate, sound is a toggle and the price is the same with it on or off.

You can attach up to 9 images, 3 video clips (15 seconds in total) and 3 audio clips (15 seconds in total) and describe in the prompt what each one is for — a character's face, a camera move, a voice. When clips are attached, you pay for the clip seconds plus the output seconds at the lower reference rate (45 credits a second at 720p on Seedance 2.0).

Seedance 2.5 raises the clip limit from 15 to 30 seconds and accepts up to 30 reference images and 10 audio clips. It costs more: 108 credits a second at 720p versus 72 for Seedance 2.0. For short clips and tight budgets, 2.0 or 2.0 Mini is the better buy.

It's the model ID API platforms use for Seedance 2.0, with -fast and -mini for the other versions and separate endpoints for text, image and reference to video. On Kenerate you don't need an API key — the same model runs in the browser as kenerate/seedance-2.0.
