Seedance 2.0 Rocking the boat

So ByteDance (the TikTok parent company) just dropped Seedance 2.0, and the AI video landscape basically changed overnight.

We're talking native audio generation, lipsynced speech, 2K resolution, and quality that makes Google's Veo 3.1 and OpenAI's Sora 2 look like they're running on a flip phone. One creator made a full 2-minute cinematic fight scene for $60. Another generated a photorealistic LeBron James dunk that's genuinely hard to tell from broadcast footage. Chinese filmmakers are already producing entire short films from scripts, complete with VFX, voice acting, and editing.

Check out this 1960s Kung fu DragonBall Z match-up and this prompt-to-mini-film demo. We watched these three times each. It’s almost unbelievable…

The catch? It's currently only available in China. But if ByteDance's track record with TikTok is any indication, it won't stay that way for long… (rumors are it’ll be available internationally on Feb 24).
