Question 1

How does Seedance 2.0 work?

Accepted Answer

You describe the idea, the AI Director builds a production plan (acts, sequences, shots), then each shot is generated independently and assembled on the timeline. Nothing is asked of the model in one giant request.

Question 2

How many credits does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost is shown before every generation. A 5-second standard shot is around 45 Movies Credits; a 10-second Cinema-tier shot around 250.

Question 3

Can I use the output commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes from the Creator plan up. The Free plan adds a watermark and caps resolution.

Question 4

What happens when a generation fails?

Accepted Answer

Credits are refunded automatically and you can retry that single shot without touching the rest of the project.

Question 5

Can I keep the same character across shots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Character Lock re-injects the character references into every generation.

Question 6

Can I regenerate just one shot?

Accepted Answer

That is the whole point. Every shot keeps its own versions, so regenerating shot 37 never rebuilds the film.
