Timed 15-second beat sheet
0:00–0:04 — Completely ordinary Tokyo Station establishing shot. Pedestrians crossing the plaza. Nothing unusual. 0:04–0:06 — People suddenly stop. Several slowly tilt their heads upward toward something behind the station. 0:06–0:09 — Two enormous furry triangular ears slowly rise behind the skyscrapers. 0:09–0:12 — A colossal realistic black cat, larger than the surrounding towers, raises its head behind Tokyo Station. Only its head and shoulders are visible. Its huge glowing eyes stare curiously down into the plaza. 0:12–0:14 — The giant cat slowly extends one paw between two skyscrapers and gently taps the central clock of Tokyo Station. 0:14–0:15 — DING! The clock swings like a tiny bell. The cat's pupils suddenly widen enormously.
One continuous macro shot
Macro cinematic POV descending into crushing deep-sea darkness. Subject: a fist-sized bioluminescent jellyfish-polywog hybrid with translucent membrane fins, a pulsing core-vein network visible through its skin, and six trailing filament tendrils. It pulses its core to strobe-light the abyss, darts between hydrothermal vent geysers, rides a burst of superheated bubbles upward, weaves through a forest of tube worms, and escapes a colossal shadow-maw by compressing its body through a narrow rock fissure. Photorealistic subsurface scattering, caustic light ripples, particulate matter in water, anamorphic lens flares from bioluminescence. No cuts, handheld camera drift.
Vertical sci-fi POV with camera specs
POV from pilot's seat inside a single seat starship cockpit, looking out through the windshield. Medium close framing: hands on the yoke, illuminated dashboard in foreground; futuristic night metropolis beyond skyscrapers, dense air traffic, neon signage, wet street reflections far below. Young female pilot implied as viewer; visible only via sleeves/gloves/canopy reflections: sleek white gray flight suit, micro LED tactile gloves. Lighting: cool instrument key light, city rim glow, atmospheric haze, windshield reflections, diffused neon glints. Mood: clean minimalist sci fi, quiet suspense. Virtual ARRI Alexa 65, 35mm 2× anamorphic, T2.0, 9:16, shallow depth of field, oval bokeh, subtle film grain.
Street-fashion twirl
Ultra-realistic cinematic street-fashion scene in a busy modern city, a graceful young woman in a flowing mustard-yellow sleeveless dress dramatically twirling on a crowded sidewalk, her long wavy brown hair flowing in the wind, surrounded by flying pigeons, yellow taxis, pedestrians, and tall urban buildings. Dynamic movement, elegant pose, natural facial features, realistic fabric motion, golden daylight, shallow depth of field, cinematic composition, 85mm lens, f/1.8, natural color grading, vertical.

Seedance 2.0 questions
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is an AI video generation model developed by ByteDance. It creates videos from text prompts, images or references, with optional synchronized sound. PicX Studio offers Seedance 2.0 (best quality, up to 4K), Seedance 2.0 Fast (quicker generation) and Seedance 2.0 Mini (lowest cost).
How do I use Seedance to create AI videos?
On PicX Studio, describe what you want in a text prompt or upload an image. Select Seedance 2.0, Fast or Mini, choose your duration (4-15 seconds), landscape or portrait, and a resolution, then generate. Your video appears in your feed when it is done.
What is the difference between Seedance 2.0 Pro and Seedance 2.0 Fast?
On PicX Studio the Pro tier is now simply called Seedance 2.0. It produces the most detailed and consistent videos and is the only tier with 1080p and 4K, from 45 credits per second at 480p. Seedance 2.0 Fast generates more quickly from 30 credits per second at 480p and tops out at 720p, which makes it good for drafts and rapid iteration.
Can I start with an image?
Yes. Upload an image in PicX Studio, select a Seedance model, and describe the movement, camera work and scene you want. You can also give a first and a last frame and let the model fill the motion between them.
How long can Seedance videos be?
Seedance 2.0, Fast and Mini make clips from 4 to 15 seconds, set in one-second steps. Seedance 2.5 goes up to 30 seconds in a single take.
How many credits does a Seedance 2.0 video cost?
It depends on length and resolution: 45 credits per second at 480p, 100 at 720p, 220 at 1080p and 500 at 4K. So a 10-second 480p clip is 450 credits and a 10-second 1080p clip is 2,200. Audio is included at no extra cost, and the exact cost shows on the Generate button before you run it.
Is Seedance free to use?
Not entirely. Your first image on PicX Studio is free after you sign up, no card needed, but video models like Seedance need a plan or a one-time credit pack. Credits never expire, and the same balance works on every model.
What video formats does Seedance support?
In the PicX Studio generator, Seedance 2.0 makes landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) videos from 4 to 15 seconds, at 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K. Videos download as MP4.
How does Seedance compare to other AI video generators?
Seedance 2.0 by ByteDance offers strong motion quality, prompt adherence and steady characters, with flexible length from 4 to 15 seconds, sound in the same pass and a 4K tier. On PicX Studio you can compare it directly with Kling 3.0, Grok Imagine, MiniMax and Seedance 2.5, all on the same credits.
Can I use Seedance videos commercially?
Yes, on every plan: ads, product listings, client work and paid content are all fine.
Can I run Seedance 2.0 from Claude, an AI agent or the command line?
Open the generator and pick Seedance 2.0 from the video models. Type a prompt that describes the scene, or upload an image to animate. Choose a length from 4 to 15 seconds, landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16, and a resolution. Leave audio on if you want dialogue, ambience or effects. Press generate and the clip appears in your feed when it is done, as an MP4 you can download. You can also run Seedance from Claude or another AI agent through the PicX MCP server, or from the terminal with the PicX CLI.
How do I write a Seedance 2.0 prompt?
Write one shot, not a whole film. Start with the subject and setting, then the action, then the camera move, then the light and the sound. For longer clips, a timed beat sheet works well: "0:00–0:04 establishing shot, 0:04–0:06 people stop and look up", and so on up to 15 seconds. Name what you do not want ("no text, no cuts"), because the model follows restrictions closely. When you attach references, say what each one controls, for example "@Image1 sets the face, @Image2 sets the outfit". Browse /prompts and /templates for tested Seedance prompts.
What multimodal inputs does Seedance 2.0 accept, and does it generate audio?
Seedance 2.0 is multimodal: it accepts text, up to 9 reference images, and video references in the same generation. That gives you control over performance, lighting, camera movement and mood that a text prompt alone cannot. The model also generates sound together with the visuals, so dialogue, ambience and effects are timed to the picture instead of matched in an edit. On PicX Studio the audio switch does not change the price, so you can leave it on and mute the clip later if you do not need it.
How do I make a Seedance 2.0 video longer than 15 seconds?
The maximum length of a Seedance 2.0 video is 15 seconds, and the minimum is 4. You pick the exact length in one-second steps. Resolution goes from 480p for cheap drafts through 720p and 1080p up to 4K, which none of the other Seedance tiers offer. If you need a longer single take, Seedance 2.5 runs up to 30 seconds at up to 1080p. For anything longer than that, generate several clips and cut them together, using the same references so characters stay consistent.
How much does a 15-second 4K Seedance 2.0 video cost?
Seedance 2.0 is billed per second of video. It costs 45 credits per second at 480p, 100 at 720p, 220 at 1080p and 500 at 4K, and audio costs nothing extra. A 4-second 480p draft is 180 credits, a 10-second 480p clip is 450, a 15-second 480p clip is 675, a 10-second 1080p clip is 2,200, and a 15-second 4K clip is 7,500. Seedance 2.0 Fast starts at 30 credits per second and Mini at 25, so draft there and render the keeper here. Credits never expire and work on every model.
How do creators and marketers use Seedance?
Social creators use Seedance 2.0 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts: portrait 9:16, 4 to 15 seconds, sound included. Marketing teams use it for product demos, brand animations and ad variations for Meta, Google, TikTok and YouTube without a production budget. A common workflow is to test hooks on Fast or Mini at 480p, then render the winning concept on Seedance 2.0 at 1080p or 4K. Commercial use is included on every plan.
