How can professional creators upgrade for commercial licensing?
Creators who need higher resolution, longer videos, and commercial licensing can upgrade to paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro, Max).
Can Seedance 3.0 generate audio with video?
Yes. Seedance 3.0 features a native end-to-end audio engine capable of generating synchronized speech, dialogue, environmental sounds, and music that matches the visual content. Unlike Seedance 2.0, which required a separate audio pipeline, Seedance 3.0 integrates audio generation directly into the video synthesis process for perfectly synchronized output.
What video resolutions does Seedance 3.0 support?
Seedance 3.0 supports resolutions up to 4K and beyond, a significant upgrade from Seedance 2.0's maximum of 1080p. This makes it suitable for professional film production, broadcast content, and high-quality marketing materials that demand ultra-high definition output.
