Seedance is ByteDance's family of AI video generation models, and Seedance 2.0 has drawn a lot of attention for its cinematic camera motion. ArtCraft added Seedance 2.0 early and promoted it with a dedicated page: "Seedance 2.0, now in ArtCraft." This guide shows how to use it effectively.

Seedance models in ArtCraft
| Model | Status in the official catalog |

What about Seedance 2.5?
The ArtCraft homepage now lists Seedance 2.5 among its highlights, but the README's model catalog still shows Seedance 2.0 as the newest Seedance model. If you see Seedance 2.5 in your model picker, the workflow below applies in the same way.
How to generate a Seedance 2.0 video in ArtCraft
Install ArtCraft or open the web app
Download the desktop app for Windows or macOS from the download guide, or open app.getartcraft.com in your browser.
Get credits or connect a provider
Seedance 2.0 runs on ArtCraft credits on paid plans. Check your balance before you start. Video uses credits much faster than images.
Create a strong first frame
Seedance 2.0 can work from text alone, but you get far more control by animating an image. Build the opening frame with ArtCraft's image tools, ideally staged in 3D with a posed character and a deliberate camera angle.
Open the Video tool and choose Seedance 2.0
Load your first frame, then pick Seedance 2.0 from the model list.
Describe the motion
Write what moves, how the camera moves, and the mood. Don't re-describe the image.
Generate, review, and iterate
If the motion is off, rewrite the prompt. If the framing is off, fix the first frame. Re-rendering a still costs far less than re-rendering video.
What Seedance 2.0 costs in ArtCraft
Using the official Basic plan estimate (1,000 credits ≈ 63 seconds of Seedance 2.0):
| Clip length | Approx. credits | Share of a Basic month |
|---|---|---|
| 5 seconds | ~80 | ~8% |
| 10 seconds | ~160 | ~16% |
| 30 seconds total | ~475 | ~48% |
| 60 seconds total | ~950 | ~95% |
On the Basic plan ($8/month billed yearly at the time of writing), that is roughly one minute of Seedance 2.0 footage per month. If you plan to produce more, consider a larger plan. See the pricing breakdown.
Prompt tips for Seedance 2.0
Lead with one clear action. Seedance handles a single, well-described action per clip better than a list of events.
The dancer spins once and stops facing the camera, her coat flaring out,
camera slowly orbits to the right, dramatic stage lighting, slow and elegant pacing
Name the camera move. Terms like slow push-in, pull back, pan left, orbit, tracking shot, and static camera give predictable results.
State what must not change. When animating an image, add something like "keep the background and lighting unchanged" to reduce drift.
Keep it short. Short clips stay coherent. Generate several short clips and cut them together instead of forcing one long take.
Seedance 2.0 vs other video models in ArtCraft

| Another high-end option to compare | Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6 Pro, MiniMax H3 |
