Kenning's take
What it does
Seedance 2.0 generates video and audio together and accepts text, images, audio and video as references, giving control over performance, lighting and camera moves. ByteDance announced it in February 2026, first in China, and it later reached CapCut and Dreamina in more countries, including the US from 8 April 2026. Developers can use it through BytePlus.
