Seedance 2 Text to Video - AI Video from Words

Describe a scene in natural language and Seedance 2 creates cinematic video with four layers of synchronized audio. Your text directs everything - camera movement, lighting, dialogue with lip sync, sound effects, and background music. No assets needed, just words.

A man with greying hair sits at a wooden desk in a candlelit 1860s room, picks up a letter, reads it with growing concern. Camera slowly pushes in, 50mm lens, shallow focus, period drama
Here's your Seedance 2 video - 1860s candlelit study with the man reading a letter, native period audio:

Cinematic Noir

"A detective in a trench coat steps out of a vintage car on a rain-soaked street. Camera tracks from behind as he walks toward a neon-lit bar. Cold blue streetlights mix with warm amber from the bar windows. Moody, tense atmosphere. Sound of rain hitting metal, car door closing, distant jazz from inside the bar."

Fantasy Epic

"A dragon circles above a medieval castle at dawn, its wings casting enormous shadows across the courtyard. Wide establishing shot, slow upward pan. Golden sunrise backlighting the dragon's silhouette. Awe-inspiring, grand scale. Deep wing beats, wind rushing, distant horns from the castle walls."

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write a good Seedance 2 text prompt?

Include five elements: scene description (who, what, where), camera direction (angle, movement), lighting (sources, color temperature), mood (emotional tone), and audio direction (sounds, dialogue, music). Seedance 2 understands all five and uses them to shape both the video and the four audio layers. Be specific rather than generic - 'neon reflections on wet pavement' works better than 'cool lighting'.

Does Seedance 2 create audio from text prompts?

Yes. Your text prompt directs all four audio layers: dialogue (with phoneme-level lip sync), foley effects, ambient atmosphere, and background music. If you describe rain, you get rain sounds. If you write character dialogue, you get lip-synced speech. If you mention music, you get a matching score. The audio is created in the same pass as the video - no post-production needed.

What aspect ratios are available?

Six options: 16:9 (YouTube/cinema), 9:16 (TikTok/Reels), 1:1 (Instagram), 4:3 (presentations), 3:4 (Pinterest/portrait), and 21:9 (ultra-wide cinematic). All output at 30fps. You can specify the aspect ratio in your prompt or let TwoShot's assistant choose based on your intended platform.

How long can Seedance 2 text-to-video clips be?

Seedance 2 creates clips from 4 to 15 seconds. Two modes are available: Fast mode for quick iteration (lower cost, faster delivery) and Standard mode for maximum quality. For longer content, you can create multiple clips and combine them in TwoShot's studio timeline - the character consistency feature ensures your characters look the same across all clips.

Can I include dialogue in my text prompt?

Yes. Write the dialogue directly in your prompt and Seedance 2 will create lip-synced speech. The model supports 8+ languages including English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Indonesian. Phoneme-level lip sync means mouth movements match the actual sounds, not just generic mouth opening and closing.

How fast is Seedance 2 text-to-video?

Fast mode delivers results in seconds. Standard mode takes under 60 seconds. Both modes are available with free credits on signup - no queue, no waitlist. You can iterate on prompts quickly using Fast mode, then switch to Standard for the final version.

Can I use text-to-video and image-to-video together?

Absolutely. You can upload reference images alongside your text prompt. For example: upload a character portrait, then write a text prompt describing a scene for that character. Seedance 2 uses the image for visual identity and the text for scene direction, camera movement, and audio. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both input modes.
