# Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator

Generate video with current text, image and reference-capable models, using only the inputs and controls exposed by the selected live form.

> Canonical: https://seedance2.pro/ai-video-generator

Choose a current video model, inspect its input modes, duration, resolution, audio and credit controls, then review the returned clip before use.

## What the Seedance 2 Pro video generator accepts

This page is about operating the Seedance 2 Pro video generator - the inputs it takes, the controls that change a result, and the loop that gets you from a first take to a usable one. What the model is and how it compares is covered on the home page.

### Model-specific input modes

Text, image, video and audio inputs appear only where the selected model supports them. Changing models can change the entire form.

### Controls that change cost and output

Aspect ratio, duration, resolution, audio and reference settings vary by model and can change the credit estimate as well as the result.

### Seedance 2.0 reference limits

Its reference mode accepts up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio files; first/last-frame mode accepts one or two images.

### Optional generated audio

Seedance 2.0 exposes a generated-audio switch. Other models may expose different audio behavior or none, so check the form and returned clip.

## What Changes When You Direct It Properly

The difference between a first take and a usable one is almost always an input, not the model.

### References beat adjectives

A reference image can guide composition, palette or subject more directly than adjectives, but every result still needs comparison with the source.

### One action per clip

The form does not expose an automatic multi-shot editor. Keep one generation focused, then assemble usable clips in post-production.

### Duration is a quality setting

Shorter generations hold coherence better. Asking for the length the edit needs, not the maximum, raises the hit rate.

## How to Run a Generation

The working loop, in the order that wastes the fewest credits.

### Pick the input before the prompt

Decide whether you are starting from a description, a frame, or a reference set. This decides everything else about the prompt.

### Write subject, action, camera

Three things in that order. Style and mood refine a clear shot and cannot rescue an unclear one.

### Set format before generating

Aspect ratio, duration and resolution chosen up front avoid a regeneration that only fixes framing.

### Diagnose the take, change one input

Decide whether the subject, the motion or the look failed, and change only that. Rewriting everything teaches you nothing.

## Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator Controls

The inputs and settings available on a generation.

### Text-to-video input

Generate a shot from a written description alone.

### Image-to-video input

Animate a supplied frame, preserving its composition.

### Multimodal reference set

Seedance 2.0 accepts up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio files in reference mode, with per-type size, format and duration limits.

### First and last frame mode

Seedance 2.0 can accept one opening image and an optional final image when its image mode is selected.

### Format controls

Seedance 2.0 exposes six aspect ratios, 4–15 second duration and 480p or 720p output. Other models own different settings.

### Output review

Generated motion, identity, text, prompt adherence and audio can drift. The form does not guarantee multilingual lip-sync or production readiness.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Seedance 2 Pro

Answers about input choice, model-specific controls, clip duration, consistency, credits and output review.

### What should I check before submitting a video generation?

Confirm the exact model, required inputs, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, audio setting and displayed credit estimate. After generation, inspect prompt adherence, composition, identity, motion and audio before downloading or publishing.

### Should I start from text or from a still?

From a still whenever the opening framing carries the shot. Text-to-video has to invent that frame, and the one it invents is not necessarily the one you pictured.

### How long should a single generated shot run?

One movement long. Prompts that describe a sequence of events tend to return none of them cleanly, so shots are generated short and cut together afterwards.

### How do I keep a character consistent across a sequence?

Animate every shot from the same still and vary only the camera instruction. Re-describing the person between shots invites the model to reinterpret them.

### Why does the same prompt give different takes?

Generation samples, so one prompt describes a range of shots rather than a single one. Run a few and select, which is closer to how coverage works anyway.

### How many credits does Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator use?

Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator draws between 16 and 520 credits per run, depending on the model and length chosen in the form.

### What limits should I check before using Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator?

Generated output from Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator can contain visual, audio, or factual errors. Review each result before publishing, and upload only material you are authorized to use. A credited video run covers 1–6 seconds, depending on the model selected.

### What happens to the files I upload to Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator?

An upload is stored against your own account, not pooled with other people's. Deleting the account removes it: the control is in Settings under Security, the request is confirmed by email, and the erasure removes the stored objects it owns. How long anything else is kept, and which processors handle it, is stated in the privacy policy.

### Can I use what Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator makes commercially?

Every paid plan includes a commercial licence for what Seedance 2 Pro Video Generator makes; the free tier is for personal use.
