AI Video Generator
Generate up to 15-second video clips with Seedance 2.0, directly on your timeline.
AI Video Generator
Need a clip you don’t have? Generate it. ChatCut’s video generator uses Seedance 2.0 to create up to 15-second clips from text descriptions, and it’ll place them directly on your timeline for immediate editing.
Don’t click through menus. Just tell ChatCut what you want.
Describe a scene, like “aerial drone shot of a coastal city at sunset, slow push-in,” and the AI generates it. The clip lands on your timeline ready to trim, transition, and export alongside the rest of your project.
Five Generation Modes
Seedance 2.0 gives you multiple ways to create video depending on your starting point:
- Text to video – describe a scene from scratch, get a fully generated clip
- Image to video – bring a still image to life with motion
- Character to video – animate a character with consistent identity
- Video to video – restyle or modify existing footage
- Keyframe to video – define start and end frames, generate the motion between
Each mode produces clips up to 15 seconds, long enough for B-roll, transitions, establishing shots, and social content.
Choose your mode
Start from text, an image, a character reference, existing video, or keyframes
Describe the scene
Use natural language with optional camera direction: 'slow dolly forward through a neon-lit corridor'
Generate
Seedance 2.0 creates your clip with automatic audio generation included
Edit on timeline
The clip appears on your timeline. Trim, reposition, add transitions, layer with other content
Professional Camera Language
ChatCut supports professional camera direction in your prompts. You’re not limited to vague descriptions; use the language you’d use on set:
- Dolly in/out, truck left/right
- Tilt up/down, pan left/right
- Crane shots, steadicam moves
- Rack focus, pull focus
- Slow motion, time-lapse
The AI understands cinematic vocabulary and translates it into camera movement within the generated clip.

Automatic Audio Generation
Generated clips come with audio. Seedance 2.0 creates matching sound for your video: ambient noise, environmental audio, action sounds. You don’t need to source and sync audio separately.
That’s a significant time-saver compared to generators that output silent video and leave you hunting for matching sound effects. According to Cisco’s forecast, video will account for over 82% of internet traffic, so production efficiency matters more than ever.
Fair Pricing, No Surprises
ChatCut charges approximately 0.6 credits per second of generated video. And here’s something important: if a generation is rejected by safety filters, you aren’t charged. You only pay for clips you actually receive.

You Describe the Edit. ChatCut Executes It.
The real advantage isn’t just generation; it’s what happens after. Your generated clip lives on a full editing timeline. Add AI captions, layer AI music, apply transitions, trim to the frame. You’re not bouncing between a generator and an editor.
Need to generate a clip, add a lower third with AI motion graphics, overlay a voiceover, and export? That’s one workspace, one workflow.

Best Use Cases
- B-roll – generate supplementary footage when you don’t have it
- Social media ads – create product scenes and lifestyle clips on demand
- YouTube intros/outros – cinematic establishing shots for your brand
- Storyboard visualization – turn concepts into moving previews before a shoot, perfect for AI filmmaking
- Music videos – generate stylized visual sequences from descriptions
If you’ve been paying for stock footage or working around missing clips, AI generation changes the math. Describe what you need, get it in seconds, and you’ll edit it on the spot.
