Seedance
Type: AI video generation model
Developer: ByteDance
Domain: Entertainment / AI production tools
Status: Active (deployed)
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.
