4s · MP4About Seedance 2.0 on Cicadas
Seedance 2.0 turns a text prompt or one image into a 4-, 5-, 10- or 15-second video at 480p or 720p, with native audio on or off. This is the model ByteDance released in February 2026, not the newer Seedance 2.5, which runs up to 30 seconds on its own page. Watch the 4-second 720p example with sound, set your options and see the exact credit quote before you submit.
Seedance 2.0 examples made on Cicadas
Fire, steam and a night market.
Seedance 2.0 at 720p with audio on. Flames and steam read clearly; the recorded audio is a low roar rather than distinct market chatter.
Use this recipe ↗Lanterns on a misty river.
Seedance 2.0 at 480p with audio on. Hundreds of glowing lanterns fill a misty river around a small boat; in four seconds the boat and camera barely move.
Use this recipe ↗A courier in the neon rain.
Seedance 2.0 at 480p, vertical, audio on. A rider in a yellow raincoat crosses a wet neon street with clear reflections. The neon signs show garbled lettering.
Use this recipe ↗A blue mug on the turntable.
Seedance 2.0 at 480p, square, audio on. A glossy blue mug turns on a wooden turntable in a pottery studio, highlights sliding over the glaze. The audio is a wind-like whoosh rather than studio sounds.
Use this recipe ↗The paper city, on Seedance 2.0.
Seedance 2.0 at 480p with sound, using the same prompt, length and settings as the Seedance 2.5 paper-city clip, made from the free page by a new account on its signup credits. The tram crosses as the windows light up one by one; the listening model heard a steady flowing, water-like sound rather than paper wheels.

“A fictional adult chef plates a dessert in a quiet restaurant kitchen at night, steam rising off the plate, warm overhead light, slow overhead camera move, one continuous shot.”
“A weathered wooden fishing boat glides across a foggy harbor at dawn, gulls circling overhead, a gentle wake spreading behind it, slow lateral camera move, one continuous shot.”
“Unbranded paper lanterns sway above a narrow stone alley at dusk in light rain, warm light flickering on wet cobblestones, locked camera, one continuous shot.”
Seedance 2.0 FAQ
Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-09-30
Recorded on Cicadas: five Seedance 2.0 text-to-video clips, 4 seconds each with audio on, one at 720p (2026-09-27), three at 480p in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 (2026-09-29), and one at 480p with the same prompt as a Seedance 2.5 clip (2026-09-30). The audio often differs from the prompt (a low roar instead of market chatter), and neon signs in one clip show garbled lettering. The clips do not predict results for other prompts or settings.
