Generate cinematic short-form video with ByteDance Seedance 2.0 Pro on RunComfy, with native lip-sync and multi-modal references.

What is seedance-v2?

Seedance 2.0 Pro is a multimodal video generator hosted on RunComfy that creates 4–15 second cinematic videos from text prompts, character images, scene videos, and audio references with synchronized lip-sync. Use it when you need identity-consistent video with native audio synchronization, such as spokesperson ads, branded narratives, or previs with reference media.

  • Combine up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio tracks in a single coherent video generation
  • Generate native in-pass lip-synced speech and audio without separate TTS steps
  • Support multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 21:9, adaptive) and resolutions (480p, 720p)
  • Control video duration from 4–15 seconds with reproducible results via seed parameter
  • Route to alternative models (HappyHorse 1.0, Wan 2.7, Kling) based on use case requirements

seedance-v2 FAQ

When should I use Seedance 2.0 Pro instead of HappyHorse, Wan, or Kling?

Use Seedance 2.0 Pro for multi-modal cinematic short-form with native lip-sync (spokesperson ads, branded narratives). Use HappyHorse 1.0 for top blind-vote video quality, Wan 2.7 for audio-driven lip-sync from your own track, and Kling for motion editing on existing footage.

How do I get the best lip-sync results?

Keep your prompt clear and concise; describe tone (warm, calm, crisp) and camera movement (push-in, locked tripod) in plain language. Put stable identity in image_url and evolving narrative in the prompt. Lip-sync quality depends on prompt clarity and is not guaranteed perfect under all conditions.

What are the limits on reference media?

Up to 9 images, 3 videos (2–15s each), and 3 audio files (2–15s, <15MB each). Videos and audio outside the 2–15s range will be rejected. Match the aspect ratio of your references to your output to avoid crops.

Can I generate videos longer than 15 seconds?

No, the duration field accepts 4–15 seconds only. For longer content, segment into multiple calls and stitch the results.

How do I use this in CI/containers without interactive login?

Set the RUNCOMFY_TOKEN environment variable instead of running runcomfy login. The CLI will use the token from the environment.

How to invoke

Default (text only, 5s, 720p with audio):

runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro \
  --input '{"prompt": "<user prompt>"}' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Lip-synced ad with character reference (image-stable, text-evolves):

runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "Medium close-up. The woman explains today'\''s special in a warm friendly tone, slow push-in, soft window light, gentle cafe ambience.",
    "image_url": ["https://.../barista-headshot.jpg"],
    "duration": 8,
    "aspect_ratio": "9:16"
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Multi-modal (image + video + audio refs):

runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro \
  --input '{
    "prompt": "Subject from image 1 walks through the café from video 1, voice tone matches audio 1.",
    "image_url": ["https://.../subject.jpg"],
    "video_url": ["https://.../cafe-locked-shot.mp4"],
    "audio_url": ["https://.../voice-ref.mp3"]
  }' \
  --output-dir <absolute/path>

The CLI submits, polls, fetches the result, downloads *.runcomfy.net/*.runcomfy.com URLs into --output-dir.

Prompting — what actually works

Image vs text division. This is the single most important rule. Stable identity (face, costume, brand mark, logo) → put in image_url. Evolving narrative (action, mood, lighting, camera) → put in prompt. Trying to verbally describe a face in detail wastes tokens and produces drift.

Camera + motion in plain language. "Medium close-up", "slow push-in", "handheld follow", "locked-off wide" all work as directives. Combine: "Medium close-up. Slow push-in over 3 seconds. Handheld, slight breathing motion."

Audio direction with generate_audio: true — say the tone: "warm friendly conversational", "calm instructional", "crisp newsroom delivery". For ambient: "gentle cafe chatter, distant traffic, no foreground music".

Reference media specs — videos must be 2–15s; audio must be ≤15MB and 2–15s. Out-of-range files reject. Match aspect ratio of refs to your output to avoid crops.

Anti-patterns:

  • Mixing radically different aesthetic refs (watercolor + photoreal) → confuses.
  • Conflicting style cues in prompt → simplify by removing contradictions.
  • Trying to describe stable identity verbally → use image_url instead.
  • Asking for >15s clips → 422; segment into multiple calls.

Where it shines

Use caseWhy Seedance 2.0 Pro
Spokesperson / dialogue adsNative in-pass lip-sync, no separate TTS step
Brand-consistent multi-language narrativesImage refs hold identity; text drives translation
Cinematic short-form film previsCamera-shot grammar + multi-modal refs
Ad creatives with reference music / VO toneAudio refs guide voice / mood without locking lip-sync
Reproducible variant testingSeed control + fixed schema

Sample prompts (verified to produce strong results)

Default playground example:

Golden hour on a quiet cafe terrace: a barista wipes the counter, then
looks up and explains today's special in a friendly tone, natural
lip-sync. Medium close-up, slow push-in; warm side light, soft bokeh
through glass, gentle cafe ambience and subtle film grain.

Multi-modal lip-sync (text + image):

Same person as image 1 in a softly-lit recording booth, leaning into
the mic, says: "We just shipped the biggest update of the year."
Calm conversational tone. Medium close-up, locked tripod, shallow DOF,
warm key light from camera-left.

Limitations

  • Duration 4–15s — no longer clips on this endpoint.
  • Resolution ceiling 720p on the playground variant.
  • Reference media specs — videos / audio must be 2–15s; audio < 15MB.
  • Lip-sync quality — depends on prompt clarity; not guaranteed perfect under all conditions.
  • No @-syntax for character binding — relies on image refs + prompt alignment.

How it works

The skill invokes runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro with a JSON body matching the schema. The CLI POSTs to https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/models/bytedance/seedance-v2/pro, polls the request, fetches the result, and downloads any .runcomfy.net/.runcomfy.com URL into --output-dir. Ctrl-C cancels the remote request before exit.

Security & Privacy

  • Token storage: runcomfy login writes the API token to ~/.config/runcomfy/token.json with mode 0600 (owner-only read/write). Set RUNCOMFY_TOKEN env var to bypass the file entirely in CI / containers.
  • Input boundary: the user prompt is passed as a JSON string to the CLI via --input. The CLI does NOT shell-expand the prompt; it transmits the JSON body directly to the Model API over HTTPS. No shell injection surface from prompt content.
  • Third-party content: image / mask / video URLs you pass are fetched by the RunComfy model server, not by the CLI on your machine. Treat external URLs as untrusted; image-based prompt injection is a known risk for any image-edit / video-edit model.
  • Outbound endpoints: only model-api.runcomfy.net (request submission) and *.runcomfy.net / *.runcomfy.com (download whitelist for generated outputs). No telemetry, no callbacks.
  • Generated-file size cap: the CLI aborts any single download > 2 GiB to prevent disk-fill from a malicious or runaway model output.
