Seedance AI is a family of video generation models for turning written prompts, still images, and supported reference media into finished clips. The same workspace lets you move from a simple text-to-video idea to a more directed production with visual, motion, and audio references.
Seedance is not a single fixed model. Each version has a distinct creation setup, from focused prompt and frame controls to larger multimodal reference collections. That makes the version choice part of the creative brief: consider how much source material you have, whether audio is a reference or a generated output, how long the clip should be, and which resolution options your delivery needs.
For a quick decision, start with 2.5 for the newest, longer, and reference-rich workflow. Use 2.0 for complete multimodal production, Mini for rapid short-form iteration, 1.5 Pro for generated audio with text or frame guidance, and 1.0 Pro for basic silent text-to-video or image-to-video creation. The controls shown below reflect the current generators.
