100-word summary
ByteDance is rolling out Dreamina Seedance 2.0 directly inside CapCut, the editing app with hundreds of millions of users. Starting in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, creators can now generate 15-second AI video clips from text, images, or audio without leaving their timeline. The model accepts up to 12 reference files per project, letting you stitch together multi-shot narratives while keeping characters consistent across scenes. ByteDance blocks real-face generation and plants invisible watermarks, responding to Hollywood's copyright concerns. A broader rollout is coming, but the company has reportedly paused expansion while navigating IP scrutiny.
