Seedance 2.0 — a whole cut, one prompt.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's flagship video model, and the one in King AI's roster built to cut between camera angles inside a single generation while the character stays the same person. It spans three tiers — a 720p draft, a 1080p flagship and a native 4K finish — with clips from four to fifteen seconds and audio on all of them.
Specs
What Seedance 2.0 actually does.
Every figure below is read from the app's own model catalog at build time, so it is the number you will be charged — not a rounded marketing estimate.
| Mode | Engine | Max resolution | Clip length | Audio | Credits |

| Text to video | Seedance 2.0 | 1080p | 4–15s | Yes | 6.804 per second (~$2.72) |

Strengths
What Seedance 2.0 does best.
Multi-shot storytelling, with a native 4K tier and a cheap draft tier.
Multi-shot in one generation
Wide, medium and close from a single prompt, cut together, instead of three generations you have to match by hand.
Character consistency
The same face and the same clothes survive the cut, which is the part that usually breaks when you edit separate generations together.
A native 4K tier
Seedance 2.0 4K generates at 4K rather than upscaling to it, one of only two families here that does.
A draft tier at a third of the price
Seedance 2.0 Fast runs at 720p for 2.419 credits a second against the flagship's 6.804 — the same model's staging and pacing at roughly a third of the cost.
Limits
Where Seedance is the wrong pick.
No model wins every shot. These are the cases where something else in the app is the better spend.
At 1080p it is the most expensive second of video in this line-up at 6.804 credits — more than Veo 3.1 at 4, and about four times Kling V3 Pro at 1.68. A flagship take of 15 seconds is 102.06 credits, so block the shot on the fast tier first.
The 4K tier costs 15.552 credits a second — more than twice the 1080p tier. It earns that on a hero shot and almost nothing else.
Multi-shot is the reason to use it. For a single locked-off shot you are paying for a capability you are not using, and Kling or Hailuo will do it for a fraction.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | 1080p | 4–15s | Yes | 6.804 (~$2.72) | 4s · 27.22 credits (~$10.89) |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 720p | 4–15s | Yes | 2.419 (~$0.97) | 4s · 9.68 credits (~$3.87) |
| Veo 3.1 | 1080p | 4s·6s·8s | Yes | 4 (~$1.60) | 4s · 16 credits (~$6.40) |
| Kling V3 Pro | 1080p | 3–15s | Yes | 1.68 (~$0.67) | 3s · 5.04 credits (~$2.02) |

How it works
Getting the most out of Seedance 2.0.
Block it on the fast tier
Seedance 2.0 Fast is the same staging at 720p for 2.419 credits a second. Get the shot order right there before you spend 6.804 a second on 1080p.
Describe the cuts
Seedance is one of the few models where naming the shots — 'wide, then a close-up on her hands' — actually produces those shots.
Keep the character in the prompt
Repeat the identifying details across the description; the consistency is strong but it follows what you specify.
Save 4K for the keeper
The 4K tier bills 15.552 credits a second, more than twice the 1080p rate. Run it once, on the take you already know works.

Seedance 2.0, answered.
What is Seedance?
Seedance is ByteDance's video generation model. Its distinguishing feature is native multi-shot generation: it can cut between camera angles inside one generation while keeping the character consistent, instead of producing a single continuous shot.
How much does Seedance 2.0 cost in King AI?
King AI bills per second. Seedance 2.0 costs 6.804 credits per second at 1080p, so a 4-second clip is 27.22 credits. Seedance 2.0 Fast costs 2.419 credits per second at 720p, making a 4-second draft 9.68 credits. Seedance 2.0 4K costs 15.552 credits per second.
What clip lengths and resolutions does Seedance support?
Any whole number of seconds from 4 to 15. Seedance 2.0 outputs 1080p, Seedance 2.0 Fast outputs 720p, and Seedance 2.0 4K outputs 4K. All three generate audio with the picture.
Does Seedance do image-to-video and reference-to-video?
Yes to both. Seedance 2.0 animates a starting image, and Seedance 2.0 Reference takes reference material so a character or a look carries across generations. The fast tier supports both modes as well.
How does Seedance compare to Veo 3.1 and Kling V3 Pro?
Seedance is the only one of the three that cuts between angles inside a single generation, and it reaches 15 seconds and native 4K. It is also the most expensive per second of the three at 1080p: 6.804 credits against Veo at 4 and Kling at 1.68. Veo leads on audio and cinematic finish; Kling is far cheaper for a single continuous shot.
