# Seedance 2.0 — Prompting & Capabilities
Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance Seed team, launched Feb 2026) is a **multimodal audio-video model**: it takes text, images, audio, and video in a single call and generates a 4–15s clip with **native synchronized audio** (dialogue + lip-sync, sound effects, ambient, music) in the same pass.
**Core mental model — this drives every decision below:** Seedance 2.0 is a *physics and cinematography simulator you direct like a film crew*, not a mood board you brainstorm with adjectives. It renders physical interactions ("tires smoke as the car pivots on wet asphalt") and directorial language ("slow dolly-in", "golden-hour rim light"). It does **not** render vague adjectives ("cinematic", "epic", "amazing"). Write shot directions, not vibes.
