Direct the destination,not onlythe opening
Set where the shot begins and where it needs to land. The motion in between becomes a controlled transition rather than a generation that wanders away from the idea.
Generate shots from a prompt or a reference image with Seedance 2.0 — then trim, caption, score, and export them without leaving the timeline.

Generate videoAs reviewed on 28 October 2026, full Seedance 2.0 officially supports native 4K. The inspected ChatCut integration exposes 480p, 720p and 1080p, and blocks 4K because its pricing route is not wired. Configured Ark probes timed out, leaving that endpoint's 4K acceptance unverified. Fast, Mini and 2.5 have separate output limits; no current ChatCut 4K price was verified.

Seedance 2.0doubao-seedance-2-0-260128Availability: Pinned integration and saved dev checks; production unverified. Source links describe native specifications. Reviewed: | Native documentation: 4–15s; 480p/720p/1080p/4K; text, frames or 9 image / 3 video / 3 audio references. ChatCut integration: 480p/720p/1080p; 4K blocked pending pricing integration. No output-audio toggle. Endpoint evidence: Ark acceptance unverified: connection timeouts; no successful 4K job. |
The Ark public model ID is doubao-seedance-2-0-260128; BytePlus uses dreamina-seedance-2-0-260128. The documented duration is 4–15 seconds. Use text, a first frame, a first frame plus last frame, or reference mode. The reference budget is up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audios, with audio requiring an image or video. Frame and reference modes cannot mix. Reference-video and audio duration budgets apply as well as counts.
Prompt for a single take or describe shots in order. Check identity, motion and cuts after generation; reference conditioning is guidance rather than a guarantee. Native generate_audio:false exists, but the inspected ChatCut tool has no output-audio toggle. Native 4K, upscaling and exporting at 4K are distinct operations.
A generated clip remains editable timeline media; its internal subjects are not separate editable objects. This review supplies no matched quality or latency benchmark.
Use Credits Policy and the current preflight quote. Compare the same provider, model, cohort, resolution, ratio, output duration and reference-video duration on a named quote date. Token settlement and separate Agent use can change total spend.
See Fast and Mini, Seedance 2.5, the model matrix, reference guide and failure recovery. The prompt examples can help structure shots without guaranteeing exact timing.
