Seedance or Sora 2?
Do you need the cut, or the story?
The short answer
ByteDance
Seedance
Seedance returns wide, medium and close in one generation, already edited, with the same people from shot to shot — a scene rather than a clip.
Several shots, one scene
Wide, medium and close in a single generation, already edited.
Social-first framing
Vertical by instinct, with hooks that land in the first second.
Style on demand
Anime, clay, film grain or glossy commercial, held steady.
OpenAI
Sora 2
Sora 2 holds one world together instead: cause keeps effect, objects keep their weight, and characters say their lines and mean them.
Scenes with a punchline
Timing, reaction and a beat at the end — the stuff that gets shared.
Worlds that make sense
Objects keep weight and cause keeps effect across the whole clip.
Talking to camera
Characters who speak their lines and mean them.
The next question
Either way the price is quoted before the render runs, and a render that fails is never charged for. If you would rather not choose, the studio picks for you on every ordinary render — this page is for when you would.
