Frequently Asked Questions
Seedance 2.0 supports up to 12 total reference files across all modalities: maximum 9 images (30MB each), 3 videos (50MB total, 2-15s combined duration), and 3 audio files (15MB each, 15s combined duration). You reference these files in your prompt using @Image1, @Video1, @Audio1 syntax to control how they're incorporated into the final video.
When enabled, the audio generation feature automatically creates synchronized sound effects, ambient environmental sounds, and even lip-synced speech that matches the visual content. This eliminates the need for separate audio editing and ensures your videos have professional-quality sound design that perfectly complements the generated visuals.
Yes, you can specify durations from 4 to 15 seconds, or use the 'auto' setting to let the model determine the optimal length based on your prompt and reference materials. The auto setting analyzes your content complexity and narrative requirements to choose an appropriate duration that fully realizes your creative vision.
Use 9:16 vertical for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts; 16:9 widescreen for YouTube videos and presentations; 1:1 square for Instagram feed posts; and 21:9 ultrawide for cinematic content. The 'auto' setting analyzes your reference materials and selects the most appropriate ratio based on their dimensions and your prompt context.
The model intelligently analyzes and blends multiple video references, understanding motion patterns, visual styles, and scene dynamics from each input. It can create seamless transitions between different video clips, fuse visual elements, or maintain consistent motion characteristics across the generated output, depending on how you reference them in your prompt.
Credit costs vary based on your selected resolution and duration settings. A 5-second video at 720p typically consumes 15-25 credits, while 480p generations use approximately 40% fewer credits. Longer durations (10-15 seconds) proportionally increase costs. The exact credit amount is displayed before you generate, allowing you to make informed decisions. For budget-conscious workflows, start with 480p tests to refine your prompts, then generate final 720p outputs only when satisfied with composition. JAI Portal's pay-per-use model means you're never locked into subscriptions, and unused credits never expire.
Yes, all videos generated through JAI Portal with paid credits include full commercial usage rights. You can use outputs in client projects, advertisements, social media campaigns, film productions, and sell them as part of your creative services without attribution requirements. This applies whether you're a freelancer, agency, or business. The commercial license covers the generated video content itself; however, ensure your reference inputs (uploaded images, videos, audio) don't contain third-party copyrighted material you don't have rights to use. If you're using stock photos or licensed music as references, verify those source materials permit derivative AI-generated works.
Seedance 2.0 generates MP4 videos encoded with H.264 compression at 24 frames per second. The 720p resolution outputs at 1280×720 pixels (or equivalent dimensions for other aspect ratios), while 480p generates at 854×480 pixels. Audio is encoded at 128kbps AAC when audio generation is enabled. File sizes typically range from 2-8MB depending on duration and complexity. All outputs are web-optimized for immediate use on social platforms without transcoding. The MP4 format ensures broad compatibility across editing software, social media platforms, and presentation tools. For higher resolution requirements, consider generating at 720p then upscaling in post-production.
While Seedance 2.0 doesn't offer native batch processing through the web interface, you can efficiently generate multiple variations by adjusting the seed parameter between generations while keeping other settings consistent. This allows you to produce different creative interpretations of the same prompt and reference materials. For high-volume production workflows, JAI Portal's API enables programmatic batch generation where you can queue multiple requests with different prompts, durations, or aspect ratios. API access provides detailed generation status tracking and automatic output delivery, ideal for agencies managing multiple client projects simultaneously or creators producing content series.
Common issues include reference files exceeding size limits (30MB per image, 50MB total for videos, 15MB per audio), incompatible formats, or combined video duration exceeding 15 seconds. Ensure uploaded files meet specifications: images in JPEG/PNG/WebP, videos in MP4/MOV at 480p-720p, audio in MP3/WAV. Blurry or low-quality reference materials often produce inconsistent outputs; use sharp, well-lit sources. If your prompt references files using incorrect syntax (like @Image4 when only 2 images are uploaded), the model may ignore those references. Complex prompts with contradictory instructions can confuse the model—keep descriptions clear and logically structured. For troubleshooting, simplify your prompt and reduce reference file count to isolate issues.
