SeeDance 2, explained

· 5 min read

SeeDance 2 (ByteDance) is the most cinematic video model in Dora — film-like motion, strong character consistency across reference frames, and built-in audio.

What SeeDance 2 is best at

  • Cinematic look — lighting and motion that feel like a film.
  • Image-to-video — animate a still with convincing movement.
  • Character consistency — keeps a subject coherent across reference frames.
  • Audio — generates a matched soundtrack.

How to use it on Dora

  1. On the create page, pick SeeDance 2.
  2. Add a reference image (or go text-to-video) and a prompt.
  3. Pick your aspect ratio and duration, then generate.

For a lighter, cheaper option, SeeDance 2 Fast trades resolution for speed; SeeDance 1.5 Pro supports up to 1080p and longer clips. See all on the models page.

When to choose something else

  • Best prompt adherence / camera control → Veo 3.1.
  • Transform an existing clip or any-to-any → Gemini Omni.
