ByteDance

ByteDance is the company behind the Seedance video and Seedream image model lines, plus the Dreamina and CapCut surfaces that distribute them. Its AI video work has been shaped as much by rightsholder pressure as by model releases — a 2026 cease-and-desist from major studios froze its global rollout before a negotiated IP framework with the Motion Picture Association closed that arc. See the AI Video Stack for current model details.
