The neural network allows users to upload images, videos, audio, or text as references for creating a video.

“Set the visual style with a picture, define character movements and camera angles using video, create rhythm and atmosphere by uploading a few seconds of audio. Combine all this with prompts to make the creative process natural, efficient, and truly directorial,” the company urged in its announcement.

Seedance 2.0 is available on the Chinese version of the Dreamina service. Access can be obtained via a Douyin account (the local TikTok). By the end of February, the model will be available in CapCut, Higgsfield, Imagine.Art, and other third-party services.

Users who tested the neural network noted its high-level directing and editing skills, as well as “incredibly natural, almost professional” transitions between scenes.

“There are features that seem illegal: you upload a script, and the program generates scenes (not just clips) with visual and sound effects, voices, music — all beautifully done,” emphasized a user with the nickname el.cine.

The release by ByteDance has triggered a rise in the shares of Chinese media and AI companies.

Earlier in February, Chinese developer Kuaishou introduced the third version of its video generation model, Kling AI.
