The Chinese company Bytedance has just unveiled a new artificial intelligence model called Seedance 2.0. This model has attracted the attention of users and filmmakers and has even caused a jump in the shares of companies related to artificial intelligence in China.
According to CNBC, unlike previous models that typically made short, discrete clips, Seedance 2.0 focuses on a feature called multi-lens storytelling. This means you can create a sequence of different shots (like close-up and wide) with one prompt, without changing the character’s face or lighting. This feature reduces the need for manual editing and pasting different shots together.
Additionally, this model produces video and audio simultaneously, rather than layering the audio over the image later; This issue causes a more accurate coordination of sound and image. Also, this model can produce 2K videos twenty percent faster than competitors.

Speed and flexibility are two winning cards of Seedance 2.0. Users can start their project using text, image, short video or audio file as input. Also, users say that the accuracy of movement in this model is amazing. Currently, this model is only available to a limited number of Jimeng AI (Bitedance video artificial intelligence platform) users.
Shares of AI-related companies in China, such as COL Group and Shanghai Film Co, also rose after the release of the beta version of the model, according to SCMP. Analysts believe that China’s domestic video production technology has entered a new competitive phase.
On the other side of the world, reactions in Hollywood are different. Major directors such as James Cameron and the Russo brothers have cautiously embraced AI models for video production, seeing it as a creative aid, not a human replacement. Projects like Darren Aronofsky’s AI short films have been criticized. However, with advances like the ones we’re seeing in Seedance 2.0, it looks like the use of AI in pre-production and special effects will soon become the industry standard.
