Overview
Seedance 2, developed by ShengYi Tech, distinguishes itself through lightning-fast generation speeds and a standout ID Reference feature that enables character consistency across generations. This makes it uniquely suited for storytelling where the same character needs to appear in multiple scenes. It also has good lip-sync capabilities, though clip length is limited to 10 seconds at 1080p. The platform is available in English at seedance.com.
