How to Use Seedance 2.0 in ChatGPT

June 16, 2026 video

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance’s next-generation video model and the current #1 on the Artificial Analysis benchmark with an ELO of 1,269 - beating Veo 3, Sora 2, and Runway Gen-4.5. It delivers director-level control over camera movement, lighting, and character action with class-leading quality.

Why use CreativeClaw for Seedance 2.0 in ChatGPT?

ChatGPT already generates images with GPT Image and video with Sora - but you're locked to OpenAI's own models. CreativeClaw adds the models OpenAI doesn't ship: Google's Nano Banana and Veo, ByteDance's Seedance, ElevenLabs voices, Flux, Recraft, and more - all without leaving ChatGPT. Here's why it's the simplest way to use Seedance 2.0 in ChatGPT:

Models OpenAI doesn't have - Seedance 2.0 isn't part of ChatGPT natively. CreativeClaw connects it (and 100+ other models) through one app, so you can use the best model for the job instead of whatever's built in.
No API keys, no extra accounts - You don't need a Google, ByteDance, or ElevenLabs account. Connect one app and every model is available instantly.
No subscriptions - Pay only for what you generate. $10 = 1,000 credits. No monthly fees, credits never expire.
Results inline in ChatGPT - Generated media previews right inside the conversation. No tab-switching, no downloads to manage.
Let ChatGPT iterate - ChatGPT generates, looks at the result, refines the prompt, and regenerates - all in one conversation. Your assistant becomes your creative director.
Works in ChatGPT and Codex - CreativeClaw is a remote MCP server. Use it from ChatGPT or the Codex CLI - same account, same models, wherever you work.

How to use Seedance 2.0 in ChatGPT with CreativeClaw

Video generation is async - jobs typically take 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and ChatGPT polls automatically until your video is ready.

Step 1: Connect CreativeClaw in ChatGPT. Open the apps menu, search Creative Claw, enable it, and sign in. See the setup guide.

Step 2: Generate. Ask ChatGPT to create a video with Seedance 2.0 - “Generate a tracking shot of a fashion model walking down a rain-soaked city street at night using Seedance 2.0, rack focus from background neon to her face.” ChatGPT submits the job and polls for the result.

Step 3: Refine. Use Seedance’s editing to change the lighting, swap the camera angle, or extend the clip.

Setup in ChatGPT (and Codex)

ChatGPT (web, desktop, mobile) - Open the apps menu in the message composer, search for Creative Claw, enable it, and sign in. From then on, ask ChatGPT to generate and it uses the connected models. See the full setup guide.

Codex CLI - Add CreativeClaw as a remote MCP server in your Codex configuration using the CreativeClaw MCP URL. Same account and models as ChatGPT, available from your terminal.

No API keys, no per-provider accounts. One connection gives you every supported model - and it's the same account whether you work in ChatGPT or Codex.

Example prompts

Seedance 2.0 excels at cinematic, director-controlled video. Lean into camera language:

Kitchen scene with tracking shot: “A chef slicing vegetables in a professional kitchen, tracking shot along the counter, warm lighting, sounds of chopping and sizzling”
Fashion with rack focus: “Fashion model walking down a rain-soaked city street at night, rack focus from background neon to face, cinematic color grading”
Animation with dolly: “Animated character opening a treasure chest, camera dollies in close, magical particles rising, fantasy ambient soundtrack”

Tip: Seedance 2.0’s standout feature is camera control. Use specific cinematography terms - dolly zoom, rack focus, tracking shot, POV switch, handheld - and the model executes them faithfully.
