How to Use Seedance 2.0 on OpenArt

Step 1: Go to the Seedance 2.0 Model Page

Visit Openart and click Create Now. You'll be taken to the generation interface with Seedance 2.0 pre-selected.

Step 2: Choose Your Input Mode

Seedance 2.0 supports multiple creation modes:

• Text-to-Video: Just type your prompt. Best for quick ideas and concept exploration.
• Frame to Video: Upload a reference image and describe the motion you want. Perfect for animating artwork, product shots, or portraits.
• Multi-Modal: Combine text + images + audio references for maximum creative control.

Step 3: Write an Effective Prompt

Seedance 2.0 responds well to structured, descriptive prompts. Here's a formula that works:

[Subject] + [Action] + [Environment] + [Camera Movement] + [Mood/Style]

Example prompts:

A young woman in a red dress walks through a sunlit bamboo forest, wind gently moving her hair. Slow dolly forward, cinematic lighting, golden hour atmosphere.

Close-up of a steaming cup of coffee on a wooden table, rain visible through the window behind it. Shallow depth of field, cozy autumn mood, 4K quality.

A cat jumps from a bookshelf to a couch in a modern apartment. Side tracking shot, natural indoor lighting, realistic physics.

Step 4: Adjust Settings

• Duration: Choose between 5-second and 15-second clips
• Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (portrait/vertical), or 1:1 (square)
• Quality: Standard or HD — HD takes longer but delivers sharper results

Step 5: Generate and Iterate

Click Generate and wait for your video. Generation typically takes 1-3 minutes depending on duration and quality settings.

Not happy with the result? You can:

• Refine your prompt and regenerate
• Use the video-to-video mode to iterate on a clip you like
• Add audio references for better soundtrack sync

Seedance 2.0 vs Kling 3.0: Which One Is Better in 2026?

For best results, try the same prompt across 2–3 models and compare the outputs. OpenArt makes it easy to switch models without re-uploading assets — and the comparison table below highlights the key differences between Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

1. Start with image-to-video
   if you have a specific visual in mind — it gives Seedance more to work with than text alone
2. Use reference images for characters
   to maintain consistency across generations
3. Keep prompts under 200 words
   Seedance handles concise, structured prompts better than walls of text
4. Specify what you DON'T want
   negative prompts (e.g., "no text overlays, no watermark") can improve output
5. Iterate fast
   generate 3-4 quick drafts before investing in HD quality
