Built for fast 2K and short-form video
Not every clip needs 4K. For social, ecommerce, and short-form, a fast 2K workflow is often the sweet spot for speed and cost. Seedance 2.0 already supports 2K (and was upgraded to native 4K on June 23, 2026); Seedance 2.5 adds 30-second clips and up to 50 references. We're building a simple workflow for that lane — no API, no setup.
