Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video Tutorial
Seedance 2.0 elevates AI video creation from “random generation” to “director-level” controllable production, supporting multimodal inputs including text, images, video, and audio. This article is a practical Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video tutorial, helping you create controllable short videos using text + reference materials.
1. From “Random Generation” to “Director’s Perspective”
Seedance 2.0 adopts a multimodal reference architecture: it no longer relies solely on a text prompt for random results. Instead, you can use images to define characters and scenes, videos to define camera movement and action, and audio to define BGM and sound effects.
When using Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video, combining prompts with the @ syntax enables “text description + reference constraints” for director-level control.
2. Core Capabilities: 9 Images + 3 Videos + 3 Audio Files
In “All-in-One Reference Mode”:
- Up to 9 images: Define characters, scenes, and style.
- Up to 3 video clips: Define camera movement, action, and pacing.
- Up to 3 audio clips: Define BGM, ambient sounds, and beat synchronization.
Use @material_name in your prompt to specify the purpose, e.g., @image1 as the first frame, @video1 for camera movement reference, @audio1 extract ambient sound only.
This way, Seedance 2.0’s text-to-video generation will follow your intent instead of random interpretation.
3. Practical Text-to-Video Workflow (Example)
- Prepare Materials: A first-frame image, a reference video for camera movement, and a reference audio clip (optional).
- Enter All-in-One Reference Mode: Upload materials and write clear @ instructions and storyline in the prompt.
- Example: @image1 as the first frame; @video1 for camera movement reference; Storyline: Morning sunlight spills onto a latte, the camera slowly pushes in…
- Generate & Iterate: After generation, you can fine-tune with keywords like “slow motion” or “warm color tone” and regenerate.
Pure Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video is also possible: Input only text descriptions without uploading references, suitable for quickly testing ideas. For stable control, adding image or video references is recommended.
4. Audio-Visual Sync & Physical Performance
Seedance 2.0 supports integrated audio-visual generation, with lip-sync and sound effect alignment. It also performs well with physical motion, liquids, fabrics, etc., making it suitable for Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video scenarios requiring high quality, such as advertisements and short dramas.
