Key Features of the ByteDance Seedance 2.0 API

What the Seedance 2.0 API can do through one APIMart endpoint

Seedance 2.0 Text to Video API

Describe the subject, action, camera and style, and the Seedance 2.0 API returns a 4–15 second clip. Prompts can be up to 4,000 characters; around 500 usually works best.

Image to Video with First and Last Frames in Seedance 2.0

Animate a still as the opening frame with the Seedance 2.0 API, or pass first and last frames through image_with_roles to control how the shot starts and ends.

Multimodal References in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Model

Combine up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos and 3 audio clips in one Seedance 2.0 API request to keep characters, products and motion consistent. Audio references must be paired with an image or video.

Native Audio from the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator

generate_audio is on by default in the Seedance 2.0 API, so dialogue, effects and music come back in the same file. Set it to false when you need a silent clip.

1080p and 4K Output with the Seedance 2.0 API

The standard Seedance 2.0 API model renders 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 or adaptive framing that follows your input.

Fast and Mini Variants on One Key

seedance-2.0-fast and seedance-2.0-mini take the same parameters at 480p and 720p, so you can switch between the three Seedance 2.0 API models by changing one field.

Cinematic Camera Motion and Motion References

Write push-ins, pans and tracking shots into your Seedance AI API prompt, or add a reference video so the generated character follows its movement and rhythm.

Shot-to-Shot Continuity with the Seedance 2 API

Set return_last_frame to true and the Seedance 2 API returns the final frame of each clip, then use it as the first frame of the next shot to build longer multi-shot sequences.

What You Can Create with the Seedance 2.0 API

Production scenarios for the Seedance 2.0 API, ByteDance's AI video generator, on APIMart

Social Video Ads for TikTok, Reels and Shorts

Use the Seedance 2.0 API to turn a product shot and a short script into vertical or horizontal ads with voice and sound effects for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.

E-commerce Product Videos with ByteDance Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 API FAQ

Answers about Seedance 2.0 API capabilities, parameters and access

What is Seedance 2.0?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance Seed's multimodal video generation model, also written as Seedance 2 or Seedance V2 and often called simply Seedance AI. The Seedance 2.0 API turns text, images, video and audio into 4–15 second clips with sound. On APIMart, the Seedance 2.0 API uses the model ID seedance-2.0; on Volcano Engine the same model is listed as Doubao-Seedance-2.0.

What is the Seedance 2.0 release date?

The Seedance 2.0 release date is February 12, 2026, when ByteDance Seed announced its official launch and made it available in Jimeng, the Doubao app and the Volcano Engine Ark experience center. You can call it through the Seedance 2.0 API on APIMart with the model ID seedance-2.0.

How do I use the Seedance 2.0 API?

Send POST /v1/videos/generations with model seedance-2.0 and your prompt. The Seedance 2.0 API runs as an asynchronous task: read the task ID from data[0].task_id, poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until the status is completed, then read the video URL from data.result.videos[0].url[0]. The example on this page shows the full flow in cURL and Python.

Seedance 2.0 vs Seedance 1.5 Pro: what's new in Seedance V2?

Seedance 2.0 keeps the core workflows of Seedance 1.5 Pro—text-to-video, image-to-video, and first/last frame control—and adds audio-driven generation and video reference, so a reference clip can drive a character's motion. Both workflows are available through the Seedance 2.0 API on APIMart.

What parameters does the Seedance 2.0 API support?

In the Seedance 2.0 API, model is required, and prompt is required for text to video. Optional parameters are duration (4–15 seconds, default 5), size (default 16:9), resolution (default 720p), seed, generate_audio (default true), return_last_frame, image_urls, image_with_roles, video_urls, audio_urls, tools for web search and nsfw_check. The parameter table on this page lists every limit.

How long are Seedance 2.0 videos, and which resolutions and aspect ratios are supported?

The Seedance 2.0 API generates clips from 4 to 15 seconds. The standard seedance-2.0 model outputs 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, while Fast and Mini output 480p or 720p. Aspect ratios are 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 and adaptive, which follows the input image or video.

Does the Seedance 2.0 API support image to video and first and last frames?

Yes. Pass a picture in image_urls and the Seedance 2.0 API uses it as the opening frame, or use image_with_roles with first_frame and last_frame to fix both ends of the clip. image_urls and image_with_roles cannot be combined, and first- and last-frame tasks cannot include reference video or audio.

Does Seedance 2.0 support audio and reference video?

Yes. The Seedance 2.0 API adds synchronized sound by default through generate_audio. You can also send up to 3 reference videos (total length between 1.8 and 15.2 seconds, 480p to 720p) to guide motion, and up to 3 reference audio clips (15 seconds in total) that must be paired with a reference image or video.

How do I write effective Seedance 2.0 prompts?

For the Seedance 2.0 API, name the subject, the action, the camera move and the visual style, and describe sound or dialogue when audio is on. Keep prompts around 500 characters so details are not dropped, and describe how each reference image or video should be used, for example which one sets the first frame and which one sets the motion.

Seedance 2.0, Fast or Mini: which model should I use?

Both seedance-2.0-fast and seedance-2.0-mini output 480p or 720p video, while the standard seedance-2.0 model also offers 1080p and 4K. All three accept 4–15 second durations and are billed by resolution, so the Seedance 2.0 price differs per variant—compare prices on each model's page and test each one in its playground before you scale up.

Seedance 2.0 pricing: how much does the Seedance 2.0 API cost?

Prices use the selected model and resolution’s original price and actual discount. Without a reference video, the estimate is based on output duration. With a reference video, the input tier covers reference plus output duration; unknown reference duration is shown as a range.

Is the Seedance 2.0 API free?

No. There is no free quota for the Seedance 2.0 API on APIMart. Billing is pay-as-you-go and you only pay for successful requests. Members save 20%–28%: Gold members get 20% off, and Platinum and Diamond members up to 28%. See this page's live pricing table for current prices.

How do I get a Seedance 2.0 API key?

Sign up for APIMart, open the API Keys page in your dashboard and create a key. The same key calls the ByteDance Seedance 2.0 API and every other model on the platform, with pay-as-you-go billing and no subscription.

Where can I use Seedance 2.0 and Dreamina Seedance 2.0 via API?

You can use and get access to ByteDance Seedance 2.0 directly through the Seedance 2.0 API on APIMart: create an account, generate an API key, and send requests with the model ID seedance-2.0. Whether you search for Seedance AI or know it as Dreamina Seedance 2.0, BytePlus Seedance 2.0, the Seedance API or the Seedance2.0 API, it is the same ByteDance model. If your code comes from a platform that names it bytedance/seedance-2.0, switch the model field to seedance-2.0 and check the APIMart docs for parameters.
