Seedance 2.0 Usage Manual – Complete Guide
Seedance 2.0 supports audio, video, text and image as references for video generation. This Seedance usage manual and Seedance guide covers the main features and how to use them.
1. Upgrade highlights: reference ability
- Reference images accurately restore composition and character detail.
- Reference video supports camera language, motion rhythm and creative effects.
- Video can be extended and continued smoothly (“keep shooting”).
- Stronger editing: character replacement, trim, add.
Use one image for style, one video for camera and motion, a short audio for rhythm, and Seedance 2.0 prompts for full control.
2. Core capabilities: stable, smooth, realistic
Seedance 2.0 improves physics, motion, instruction following and style consistency.
Example 1
- Prompt: A girl elegantly hangs laundry, then takes another piece from the bucket and shakes it.
- Result: Natural, fluid motion with no obvious cuts.
Example 2
- Prompt: Character in painting looks guilty, eyes look around, reaches out of frame to grab a cola and drinks, satisfied; footsteps, character puts cola back; a cowboy takes the cup and leaves; camera pushes in to dark background with top-lit can and artistic subtitle: “Cola, worth a taste.”
- Result: Clear story and rhythm, creative.
3. Multimodal and special usage
Seedance 2.0 accepts text, images, video and audio. In this Seedance guide, state clearly what to reference and what to do.
Special usage:
-
First/last frame + reference video
“@image1 as first frame, reference @video1 fight motion” -
Extend video
“Extend @video1 by 5 seconds” (output duration = new part only, e.g. 5s) -
Merge videos
“Add a scene between @video1 and @video2, content: xxx” -
Continuous action
“Character goes from jump to roll, keep it fluid, @image1 @image2 @image3”
4. Consistency and creative replication
Issues like inconsistent faces, wrong motion or choppy extensions can be improved with multimodal reference and clear prompts. E.g. replace the woman in a clip with an opera character, set the scene on stage, and reference the original camera and transitions for a consistent result.
For creative transitions, ads or film-style clips, write in your Seedance usage manual: “Reference @video1 rhythm and camera, @image1 character.”
Comic-style example:
“Turn @image1 into a comic panel order left-to-right, top-to-bottom, keep dialogue as in the image, add SFX for key beats, tone humorous; style reference @video1”
5. Voice and editing
- To change the default voice, upload a reference and describe it in the prompt.
- You can also use an existing video as input and only change a segment, motion or rhythm without regenerating everything.
Use this Seedance guide and the patterns above to go from idea to final video efficiently.
