Seedance 2.0 R2V is the reference-to-video endpoint of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 family, released in 2026. The catalog positions the Seedance line as ByteDance's flagship video family, emphasizing realistic motion, scene consistency, and cinematic quality.

Within the family, this R2V mode sits alongside the text-to-video Seedance 2.0 and image-to-video Seedance 2.0 endpoints, differing in that it conditions generation on reference inputs together with a prompt. A higher-throughput counterpart is available as Seedance 2.0 Fast R2V, while this endpoint is listed as the current flagship for the reference-to-video task.

The Seedance 2.0 generation follows earlier ByteDance releases such as Seedance 1.5 Pro. ByteDance also maintains a related image family, including Seedream V5 Lite and Seedream V4.5.

Detailed specifications — including resolution, clip length, supported reference modalities, and benchmark results — were not available from trustworthy primary or independent sources at the time of writing, so this description is limited to the catalog's own positioning of the model.
