Seedance 2.0 text2video experiments were carried out before public access was restricted, producing multiple short visual tests and a showreel.

Test highlights

The set of trials demonstrates a range of approaches, from motion text design to animated sequences and audio-integrated clips produced before the model was closed.

• 1–3 Tests explored motion design of Russian-language text over scenes featuring panel apartment blocks and classic Zhiguli cars, focusing on timing and typography.
• 4 A motion showreel was generated that included a surprising sequence where a character appears to skate, although that action was not specified in the prompt.
• 5–7 An animated cat-shaped sphere travels through Soviet-era streets until an AI agent intervenes and halts the object in later iterations.
• In some generations the output incorporated the phrase "Part of HBO", and in other cases parts of the prompt visibly leaked into the rendered frames.
• 8 A short clip intended to pair with a Suno composition remained unfinished because access to the model was unexpectedly revoked during generation.
• 9 An anime-style opening sequence was produced from a single available image, demonstrating character motion and camera framing from a static source.

Next steps and availability

The team expects API access to be restored on 24.02.2026, after which further experiments and controlled testing are planned with the updated interface.

For now, scenes and narrative seeds are being collected to prepare prompts and storyboards for the next round of evaluations once the model becomes available again.
