Got access to Seedance 2.0 for free and spent 30 minutes playing with it during work
A platform that just integrated Seedance 2.0 sent me an invitation to try it out these past couple days.
I was technically supposed to be working, so I only spent around 30 minutes playing with it during a break. Still, as someone who uses AI video tools quite a bit, I ended up with some mixed feelings about this update.
Good stuff: visuals and motion feel much better.
The first thing I noticed is that the overall motion and physical realism improved a lot compared to older AI video models.
If you've used AI video tools before, you probably know the pain, characters dancing or walking and suddenly their arms twist in impossible ways. With Seedance 2.0, character movement looks much more natural. The body structure stays consistent and the skeleton doesn't collapse as easily. That alone is a pretty big upgrade.
The videos feel smoother overall. Frame transitions look stable, and I didn't notice the usual flickering or weird frame jumps that happen in some models.
Even when nothing complicated is happening, the clips are just pleasant to watch.
Downside: prompt control still feels inconsistent
Prompt adherence isn't always great.
Even when I tried writing fairly detailed prompts, the model still seemed to follow its own ideas sometimes.
Certain scene details get ignored. Lighting or atmosphere descriptions don't always show up.
So the result often looks good visually, but not exactly what I asked for.
Which probably means I'd have to run multiple generations to get what I want. If that's the case, hopefully the platform, Haimeta, offers reasonable credit pricing, I’d be happy to pay for this.
