01Follows multi-shot prompts
Seedance 2.0 reads a prompt like a film crew reads a shot list. Write the shots in order, say where the camera starts and where it goes, and the video usually keeps that sequence instead of merging everything into one shot. Short, separate beats like “wide shot, then close-up on the hands” work better than one long paragraph.
02Smooth camera movement
Push-ins, slow pans, orbits around a subject and handheld follow shots are Seedance 2.0’s strengths. Name the move and its pace plainly, like “slow dolly in” or “the camera circles the table once”, and keep one main move per shot. Framing stays stable, which matters for product videos and calm establishing shots.
03Synchronized sound
Seedance 2.0 renders audio together with the video, so footsteps land on each step, the rain you hear matches the rain you see, and a door sounds when it shuts on screen. Describe the ambience, effects and music mood in your prompt, or turn audio off before creating if you will add your own track.
04Any aspect ratio, even from a photo
Six aspect ratios are available in both modes: 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube and presentations, 1:1 and 3:4 for feeds, 4:3 for a classic frame and 21:9 for a cinematic widescreen look. Unlike Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3 and Kling 4, Seedance 2.0 lets you pick the ratio even when you start from an image.
05Animate a still image
Add one image as the first frame and Seedance 2.0 animates forward from it: a product photo starts to rotate, a portrait looks up, an illustration begins to move. The first frame locks in the look, colors and composition, so your prompt only needs to describe what happens next and how the camera moves.
06480p or 720p
Use 480p to test an idea or check timing, then 720p for the version you post. Both work with every length from 4 to 15 seconds and every aspect ratio. A 480p run uses fewer credits, so refine the prompt there first and rerun at 720p once the motion looks right.
