Storyboard arrives with Seedance 2

This release is focused on three major additions: Seedance 2, the new Storyboard workflow, and text editing inside generated images.

Seedance 2

Seedance 2 has been one of the most hyped model additions for a reason.

It stands out because it feels closer to a real creative production tool than a lot of other video models. Most models can give you motion. Far fewer can give you motion that feels cinematic, controlled, and consistently useful for actual campaign work.

What has made Seedance 2 so anticipated is the combination:

• stronger cinematic motion
• native audio
• up to 2K output
• longer generation length
• deeper multi-modal reference control
• better consistency across style, pacing, and scene direction

That combination matters. It is the difference between a model that produces interesting clips and a model that starts to feel genuinely useful for adverts, concept films, branded content, and stronger production-ready drafts.

This is also why people have been talking about Seedance 2 for so long. The hype is not just about novelty. It is about the fact that it closes more of the gap between “AI video demo” and “something you would actually want to build with”.

Seedance 2 is especially strong when you care about:

• shots that feel more polished and cinematic
• outputs with more convincing motion flow
• reference-led generation that stays closer to the idea
• scenes that feel more complete because sound is built in rather than bolted on later

For teams working on ad creative, product campaigns, and higher-end visual storytelling, that makes it one of the most important model additions we have shipped.

New Storyboard Feature

We also added a dedicated Storyboard workflow inside Ad Concepter.

This gives you a way to build cinematic 3x3 ad storyboards in 4K from:

• a concept
• a location reference
• a product reference

The point of the feature is not just to make a nice board. It is to help you structure an idea visually before you move further into production.

The new Storyboard workflow allows you to:

• turn a rough ad thought into a 9-frame visual sequence
• create clearer beats, progression, and payoff
• keep the world, product, and tone more consistent across the board
• map out close-ups, hero moments, transitions, and end frames
• iterate on the concept before committing to a final direction

The concept itself is also easier to work with now.

You can:

• write the concept manually
• use Write with AI to draft it from your location and product references
• edit the text before generating the storyboard
• regenerate new versions as the idea improves

That is a meaningful shift because storyboarding is usually an iterative process. You do not always get the structure right first time. Now the workflow reflects that.

Text Editing in Generated Images

We also added a much more usable way to edit text inside generated images.

Instead of starting over when text is almost right but not quite there, you can now work directly on the generated result.

That includes:

• click to select text layers
• drag to move them around the image
• resize them from the edges
• double-click to edit text
• update typography and styling from the properties sidebar

This makes generated images far easier to finish properly when the layout is good but the wording, placement, or styling still needs work.

In practice, that means fewer throwaway generations just because:

• the copy needs tightening
• the text sits in the wrong place
• the font treatment feels off
• the size needs rebalancing against the image

For any workflow that uses generated graphics, ad mockups, poster-style visuals, or image-led creative with copy on top, this is a big quality-of-life improvement.

Overall, v1.1.2 is less about one isolated feature and more about raising the ceiling across ideation, video generation, and finishing touches.
