Overview
What is Seedance 2?
Seedance 2 is a ByteDance model available in Starpop. Multimodal video generation with text, image, video, and audio inputs. ByteDance’s full multimodal Seedance route for production that combines text, images, video references, and audio.
Use the standard model when reference control, flexible duration, and access to 1080p output matter more than rapid drafts. Starpop keeps the model, input mode, duration, format, resolution, and credit choices in one workspace so a team can move from a first test to a publishable asset without rebuilding the brief in another tool.

Best uses
When to choose Seedance 2
Use the standard model when reference control, flexible duration, and access to 1080p output matter more than rapid drafts.
- 01Multimodal campaign hero shots
- 02Reference-led video continuity
- 03Final 1080p production with mixed inputs
Considerations
Plan the tradeoffs
More references do not automatically create more control; each input should have one clear role.
1080p output uses substantially more credits than 480p or 720p.
