Today, Byte's Volcano Engine officially launched the Seedance 2.0 series of API services. Enterprises and individual users can now call its video generation capabilities.As a global SOTA model, Seedance 2.0 supports four modal inputs: text, pictures, audio, and video; at the same time, it has higher usability in complex interaction and sports scenarios, and is more in line with the needs of industrial-level creation scenarios.
In addition, Volcano Engine has also established portrait and copyright security standards for Seedance 2.0, covering various modalities involved in video generation and the entire process before and after creation.
At the same time, Volcano Engine creates around security and provides a series of supporting capabilities for enterprise and individual users.
For example, users can easily complete face verification and portrait authorization through the Volcano Ark console. After authorization, the image can be used for creation, taking into account efficiency and compliance.
Volcano Ark is pre-installed with more than 10,000 high-quality virtual characters, covering virtual character characteristics of different ages, occupations, etc., which users can directly use for video creation.
Previously, the official website of Volcano Engine announced the price of Seedance 2.0, including video input, which is 28 yuan/million tokens, and the price excluding video input is 46 yuan/million tokens.
Actual media measurement data shows that generating a 15-second video in Seedance 2.0 requires 308,880 tokens. Calculated in pure generation mode, the cost of a single video is about 15 yuan, which is equivalent to 1 yuan per second.
Industry insiders say that video production that once required a professional team, hundreds of thousands of shooting equipment, and years of editing experience can now produce good results with just one sentence and a dozen dollars.
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, Volcano Engine collaborated with the famous director Jia Zhangke on a Seedance 2.0 New Year short film "Jia Changke Dance". The two "Jia Zhangke" characters in the film were both generated by Seedance 2.0.
One of them, Jia Zhangke, retains a clear "AI sense", and the other is almost the director himself in real life.
