Show HN: Try [name-redacted] AI video model
8 comments
Been testing out these models for the past week and honestly pretty impressed with the speed-to-quality ratio. The image generation is solid, though I did notice some inconsistencies with complex prompts.
For anyone looking for more resources on generative AI workflows, I found this site helpful: https://seedance2.so - has some decent tutorials and community discussions.
Overall, the API integration was smoother than expected. Documentation could use more examples for edge cases, but the core functionality delivers. Worth checking out if you're building something that needs fast inference times.
Hey, nice project! I actually built something similar — when Seedance 2.0 dropped, I noticed a ton of people struggling to access it, so I put together a platform as fast as I could to make it available.
It's live now at seedance2-pro.com. You get 200 free credits on sign up — enough to try it out and see what the model can do. Text-to-video and image-to-video are working. Reference video isn't supported yet, but I'm working on it.
Just an indie dev trying to help people get their hands on this model. Would love any feedback if you give it a try!
Claims to give free first video gen for testing after signup but does not give enough credits to do so and still asks for payment.
Seedance 2.0 isn't even listed among ByteDance's models: https://seed.bytedance.com/en/models Pretty sure it's a scam to capitalize on excitement about a model that is expected to be released soon.
I completely understand the skepticism, and honestly, I appreciate it — there are way too many fake sites riding the hype of new AI models.Let me be fully transparent about what I did:Seedance 2.0 is real, but ByteDance hasn't released the official API yet — that's expected around Feb 24th. So right now, there's no public API for anyone to build on.What I did was purchase premium accounts on the official platform, then used some technical work to convert that access into an API that my site can use. It's not the "official" way, but the model running behind it is the genuine Seedance 2.0. The output quality speaks for itself.I built this because I saw so many people wanting to try Seedance 2.0 but having no way to access it. I figured — why not make it available now while everyone's waiting for the official release?To the point about credits not being enough — on my platform, you get 200 free credits on sign up, which is enough to generate a 5-second video clip. And honestly, I'd love for you guys to try it and judge for yourselves.Here's a special invite link with 500 free credits — no payment needed, no strings attached: https://seedance2-pro.com/?utm_source=partner_A65C8972&utm_m... it. If it feels like a scam after that, I'll take the L. But I think the results will surprise you.

SCAM
I’m building an AI video playground where people can try different text-to-video models in one place. We recently added support for [name-redacted], [name-redacted] latest video model, and I thought some of you might like to experiment with it.
[url-redacted]
A few things that stood out when testing [name-redacted]:
It often generates multi-shot sequences instead of a single static shot
Motion can be quite smooth compared to earlier T2V models
It supports native audio generation
Prompts with camera movement or cinematic language tend to work well
The goal of the site isn’t just [name-redacted] — it’s to let people compare different video models under a similar interface. I found it frustrating that every model lives in a separate UI with different credit systems and prompt formats.
Some honest notes:
Outputs are still inconsistent
Prompting quality matters a lot
Long narrative coherence is hard for all current models
Running these models is expensive, so there are usage limits
If you’re experimenting with generative video, I’d love to hear:
What prompts work well for you
Where current models fail
What tooling you wish existed around text-to-video
Happy to answer questions about the product or setup.
