Summary
At $0.15 per second of video it is expensive; a typical video model costs $0.12.
What is distinctive about Seedance 2.0 is its unified audio-video architecture for text, images, audio, and video. References can guide performance, lighting, shadows, and camera movement; the 720p profile generates up to 15 seconds.
The later Dreamina Seedance 2.5 720p adds 30-second clips, more reference inputs, and tighter editing control. Seedance 2.0 remains the separate shorter 720p configuration.

Video sample from our test
This video exists as a documented run for the exact model version. Playback is muted.
Motion and physical consistency
This sample tests Anatomy, object consistency, camera tracking, rain, and reflections.
Prompt and settings
Generate exactly one continuous five-second 16:9 cinematic video. A fictional bicycle courier in a mustard-yellow raincoat rides a red city bicycle from left to right across a rain-wet Hamburg street at blue hour for the entire clip. The camera tracks her smoothly at waist height. Both hands remain visible on the handlebars, the bicycle geometry stays physically correct, and a transparent umbrella fixed to the bicycle moves naturally in the wind. Wet-street reflections and raindrops follow realistic physics. No cuts, no slow motion, no text, no logos, no subtitles, and no audio.

| Research status | Research date October 16, 2026. 20 source URLs checked. This documents the inspected sources, not an exhaustive inventory of every publication. |
| Not found in the inspected sources | vabench-exact-model-row Note VABench has no exact model row. Sora 2 was not transferred to Sora 2 Pro or other models. |
| Unresolved | vbench-current-public-leaderboard Note The current VBench leaderboard is embedded in a dynamic Hugging Face iframe and was not retrievable; current scores remain unresolved. |
| Unresolved | vidbenchmark-exact-row Note Dataset has Seedance 2.0 but only lists maximum resolution 1080p; its shared test resolution is not published, so no exact 720p result was attached. |
| Not published | CaliBench per-scene denominator Note Table 9 reports 32 planned unique seeds per scene/model but does not publish a valid scored output count for each cell; the marked unreliable Pendulum cell is omitted. |
| Not published | serving-route-and-output-settings Original wording The paper identifies Seedance2.0 and commercial-API access, but does not report the exact API route, revision, request settings, output resolution, or duration. |
