Questions
Seedance 2.0, answered
- What is Seedance 2.0?
- Seedance 2.0 is a video model from ByteDance. ByteDance's reliable all-rounder: lifelike motion with sound, from text or a first frame with no real person in it. It is new on Leap and in preview: it works, and it may still change. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
- Can Seedance 2.0 start from a photo?
- Yes. Seedance 2.0 starts from words, a first frame or a last frame. The photo becomes the first frame, cropped to the video's shape.
- How long can the videos be?
- 5 or 10 seconds. You choose the length before you press go, and the price follows it.
- What resolution and sizes does it make?
- Up to 1080p, in 16:9 or 9:16.
- Does it make sound?
- Yes. Seedance 2.0 makes the sound with the picture, and it is on by default. Turn it off for a silent clip.
- How is it different from Seedance 2.5, Seedance 1.5 Pro and Seedance 2.0 Fast?
- Seedance 2.0: ByteDance's reliable all-rounder: lifelike motion with sound, from text or a first frame with no real person in it. Seedance 2.5: Lifelike motion with sound made in the same take, from text or a first frame with no real person in it. Seedance 1.5 Pro: Sharp, steady video at a very low price, with optional sound. Seedance 2.0 Fast: Seedance 2.0, faster and for less, up to 720p: quick takes with sound, from text or a first frame with no real person in it. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.
- How much does a run cost?
- A 5-second 720p clip costs $0.83875 at the default settings. By length and resolution, a run costs $0.38995 to $4.1822. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
- Is Seedance 2.0 free to try?
- Yes. Sign up with a Gmail, Outlook or work address and you start with $2 of free credit, no card needed. The cheapest run is $0.38995 (a 5-second 480p clip), so the credit covers five of those. After that you pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as bytedance/seedance-2.0, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need a ByteDance account?
- No. Leap sends your request to ByteDance's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Seedance 2.0 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

The request
The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.
