Seedance 2.0: what it's good at (and what it isn't)
Our side-by-side with Kling 2.0 and Runway Gen-3 across 24 prompts. Seedance wins on motion continuity for 5-10s clips — loses on character consistency.
We ran 24 identical prompts across Seedance 2.0 Pro, Kling 2.0, and Runway Gen-3 (image→video variants where available), with the same reference images and 5-second durations. Here's what we found.
Where Seedance wins
- Motion continuity — limbs don't teleport, depth is coherent, camera moves respect parallax.
- Prompt adherence — if you write "slow dolly in, sun setting behind left shoulder", that's roughly what you get. Kling often interprets liberally.
- Latency — 45-90s typical vs. Kling's 60-150s.
- Cost — 8 base + 6 credits/s vs. Kling's 10 base + 8/s.
Where it loses
- Character consistency across multiple renders. Seedance handles a single clip fine, but the same subject rendered twice drifts more than Kling would.
- Long clips — artefacts appear past ~7 seconds. If you need 10+ seconds or audio, pick Sora 2.
- Western-style fashion editorial. Seedance leans toward Chinese aesthetics — Kling is more neutral.
Our routing
For text2video in Auto mode we try Seedance first, fall back to Kling on cold-start or rate-limit. If you need predictable output across multiple renders for the same character, pin Aura ID + a specific model.
