Seedance

Mode: video · Models: 12

Vendor: BytePlus Seedance · Official API docs: ModelArk

Seedance 2.0 (by ByteDance) is a high-quality video model with reference-image and keyframe control, native audio, and resolutions up to 1080p. It comes in a standard and a Fast variant, each with dedicated video-edit and video-extend workflows.

SDK 6.2.3 adds colorDepth for Seedance 2.5: choose 8bit for H.264 compatibility at 1080p MP4, or keep the default 10bit. Lower resolutions are already 8-bit; MOV does not offer this choice. See the SDK update guide.
