One prompt, measured through the gateway

PROMPT A paper boat drifts across a rain puddle at dusk. The camera pushes in slowly as a single drop lands beside it and rings spread outward across the reflection.

One prompt, one request per model, no retries and no cherry-picking - the first result each model returned. Neither size nor duration was pinned: each model used its own default, because a request shaped to fit all of them would flatter none. Files here are re-encoded for the web, so judge composition and prompt adherence, not compression.

About Dreamina Seedance 2.0

  • It generates .mp4 clips of 4-15 seconds at 24 fps in resolutions from 480p up to 4K (10-bit encoding) across six aspect ratios, working from text prompts, from first-frame and first-and-last-frame images, or from multimodal references, with synchronized sound available via the generate_audio switch.
  • Of the three 2.0 tiers only this one reaches 1080p and 4K, and only this one accepts a priority value for queue placement; BytePlus's own guidance is to use it when generation quality matters most.
  • Multimodal reference accepts up to nine images, three videos totalling fifteen seconds, and three audio clips, and video editing and extension are supported, with extension chaining up to three segments.
  • Generated audio is mono, and audio is on by default.
  • Reference material containing real faces is restricted to a documented set of compliant sources.
  • Synthorai serves it through the asynchronous /v1/videos job API.
  • Create a task, then poll it (or hold the request open with Prefer: wait) until the signed video URL is ready.
