ByteDance’s new AI video generation model, Dreamina Seedance 2.0, comes to CapCut
What Happened
The new model in CapCut will have built-in protections for making video from real faces or unauthorized intellectual property.
Our Take
Honestly? China's lapping us on consumer AI video. ByteDance shipped Dreamina in CapCut with built-in safeguards from day one—didn't wait for backlash, didn't scramble to patch it later. That's pragmatic product thinking.
The model works, people use it, and it doesn't generate non-consensual deepfakes out of the box. Is that a low bar? Sure. But we keep setting that bar at ground level, then tripping over it. ByteDance cleared it on launch.
Whoever's watching this space—western video generation tools are now chasing features China shipped months ago.
What To Do
Stop shipping first, regulating later.
