We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
What is Seedance AI?

What is the difference between Seedance Pro and Seedance 2.0?
Seedance Pro is the simpler all-rounder: fast short-form generation, strong prompt following, cinematic camera movement, multilingual dialogue, and native audio. Seedance 2.0 is the better specialist when a scene contains several interacting subjects, detailed physical reactions, identity continuity, and action-matched audio.

Seedance 2.0 focuses on difficult character-led action across videos up to 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 extends the workflow toward complete scenes up to 30 seconds, with richer reference interpretation, smoother long-scene motion, camera direction, and broader production control.
Which Seedance model makes the longest videos?
Seedance 2.5 can generate the longest scenes, up to 30 seconds.
Which Seedance model is best for audio, dialogue, and lip sync?
All three models can generate audio. Choose Seedance Pro for expressive or multilingual dialogue and efficient lip-synced social video; Seedance 2.0 for detailed Foley synchronized with physical action; and Seedance 2.5 when dialogue, ambience, music, and effects must remain coordinated across a longer directed scene.
Do Seedance Pro, 2.0, and 2.5 support text-to-video and image-to-video?
Yes. All three Seedance models support text-to-video and image-to-video workflows in Kapwing.
Do Seedance models support reference video and motion control?
Seedance 2.5 is designed to interpret supported references for framing, staging, movement, and cinematic language. Seedance models do not provide strict one-to-one choreography transfer in Kapwing. For exact transfer, use Kling Motion Control.
Do Seedance videos exported from Kapwing have a watermark?
No. Videos generated and exported through Kapwing do not include a separate Seedance watermark.
What resolutions and aspect ratios do Seedance models support in Kapwing?
Kapwing offers Seedance generation at 480p, 720p, and up to 1080p. Available aspect ratios include 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9, so you can create for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, presentations, and widescreen projects.
Can I edit and combine different Seedance generations?
Yes. Generate different shots with Seedance Pro, 2.0, or 2.5, then bring them into one Kapwing project. Trim and reorder clips, add transitions, subtitles, dubbing, overlays, music, and sound effects in the video editor.
How do I access Seedance on iPhone, Android, or desktop?
Kapwing is browser-based. Open Kapwing AI (Kai) on a compatible desktop or mobile browser, choose Seedance Pro, 2.0, or 2.5 from the video-model menu, enter a prompt or upload a supported image, and generate the video without installing separate Seedance software.
