How to generate with Seedance 2.0
Open the AI Studio
AI Studio lives inside the editor, so what you generate lands in the project you are already working in.
Attach your image and pick Seedance 2.0
Upload the still you want moving. The picker switches to image-to-video models as soon as an image is attached. Set the length within what it accepts (4s to 15s) and add a prompt describing the motion.
Balance it against your voice
Seedance 2.0 generates its own audio, so the clip arrives with sound. Drop it on the timeline, cut it to the beat you want, and lower its track under your recording so the two are not competing.
What Seedance 2.0 is for
Seedance 2.0 is an image-to-video model from ByteDance, available in REQO's AI Studio. It animates a still you upload rather than inventing a shot from a prompt alone. Clips run 4s to 15s, with a soundtrack generated alongside the picture, and it sits in the highest quality tier at 25 credits for its shortest clip.
Against the 11 other image-to-video models in the studio it is the 10th-cheapest to run and comes back 3rd quickest, at 25 credits and about 60 seconds a generation.
In the picker it is described as: Newest Seedance, native audio.

When to pick Seedance 2.0
You already have the frame - a product shot, a still from a shoot, an image you generated a moment ago - and want up to 15s of movement out of it, at 720p, 480p, 1080p or 4k.
The clip you need fits inside 4s to 15s, and you can wait about 60s for it.
You need 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 - no other image-to-video model here accepts as many natively.
You want sound generated with the picture instead of added on the timeline.
Where it runs out: ByteDance built this endpoint to animate a still rather than to generate one, so there is no prompt-only path into it. Clips stop at 15s; Seedance 2.5 goes to 30s if you need one shot to run longer. Resolutions are limited to 720p, 480p, 1080p or 4k, and the higher ones cost more credits. At 25 credits it is not the cheap option: Kling 2.6 Pro runs at 14. Nor the quickest: PixVerse V6 answers in about 45s against this one's 60s.
What to weigh Seedance 2.0 against
These are the 5 models closest to Seedance 2.0 on price, render time and clip length - the ones worth weighing it against. Every model REQO offers is linked below.
They all run on the same timeline, so the choice is per clip rather than per project: generate an establishing shot with one and a quick filler with another, then cut them together in the same tab. Credit costs are the starting cost for each model’s shortest clip; longer durations and higher resolutions cost more.

Generating is the easy half
Most generators hand you a clip and stop, which leaves you downloading files and re-uploading them somewhere else to make anything of them.
In REQO the Seedance 2.0 result lands next to your screen recordings and uploads, about 60 seconds after you attach the still. Pick the aspect ratio before you generate (16:9, 9:16, 1:1); afterwards it is a crop.
The AI Studio (talking avatars, text-to-video and AI images) and the AI clip tools (background removal, chroma key, face touch-up, noise cancellation, auto cleanup, auto b-roll, auto-zoom) are Pro features. Generation includes 100 credits a month plus top-ups.
Seedance 2.0: questions
How much does Seedance 2.0 cost?
From 25 credits per clip at its shortest length, and the studio shows the exact figure for the length and resolution you pick before it charges you. AI Studio is part of Pro.
How long can a Seedance 2.0 clip be?
4s to 15s. That is a hard limit of the model, not a plan limit - a longer piece is several generations laid end to end.
What aspect ratios does Seedance 2.0 support?
16:9, 9:16, 1:1, at 720p, 480p, 1080p, 4k. Anything else is a crop afterwards, which the free crop tool handles.
Can Seedance 2.0 generate a video without an image?
No. This endpoint animates a still, so an image is required. Remove the image and the studio switches you to the text-to-video side of the same family automatically.
Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio?
Yes, it produces a soundtrack alongside the picture, inside the 25 credits the clip already costs. You can still add music or a voiceover on the timeline.
How long does a generation take?
Usually about 60 seconds for the 25-credit shortest clip; longer clips and higher resolutions take proportionally longer. Generations keep running if you switch tabs.
Can I edit the generated clip?
Yes, and on the same timeline as everything else. The still you animated stays in the project, so you can re-run it with a different prompt and cut the two takes together. Captions come off the transcript, and the finished piece exports or shares as one link.
