## Overview

Seedance is ByteDance's AI video generation model designed for narrative content production. Version 2.0, released February 2026, represents a breakthrough in character consistency and temporal coherence for AI-generated video.

## Key Capabilities (v2.0, February 2026)

- **Character consistency across camera angles**: Maintains exact physical traits from any camera angle across shots, solving the "AI morphing" problem
- **90-second video clips** with native audio synchronization and cross-scene continuity
- **Phoneme-level lip-sync** across 8+ languages
- **4K resolution** output
- Outperforms competitors (including Sora) specifically on character consistency

## Technical Limitations

- Micro-expressions and performance nuance cannot yet replicate human actor movements
- Long-form coherence limited to 90-second clips; feature-length narrative requires human direction and stitching
- Fine-grained creative direction beyond prompts remains limited

## Deployment

Seedance 2.0 capabilities deployed via Wan 2.7 on Mootion platform (April 15, 2026), making character-consistent AI video production accessible to independent creators.
