Every video model has a personality. Seedance 2.0's is “cinematographer”: it favors coherent camera moves, natural motion physics, and — its headline trick — audio generated together with the picture.
Where it beats the field
Dialogue-free cinematic shots: establishing shots, product motion, atmospheric b-roll. The camera language (dolly, crane, handheld sway) reads intentional rather than random.
Native audio means ambience and foley arrive in sync — rain that sounds like the rain you see. For social clips this saves a whole sound-design pass.
Where to pick something else
Talking heads still belong to the lipsync pipeline, where you control the voice precisely. And for image-to-video from a locked frame, test your subject first: models differ on how faithfully they preserve a reference.
Rule of thumb: prompt Seedance like a shot list, not a story. One shot, one move, one mood per generation — then cut them together.
