Veo 3 fits campaigns chasing cinematic continuity—establishing shots that breathe, gentle dollies, dialogue beats where lips mostly behave if you do not tempt fate. Seedance 2 skews toward rhythmic repetition—hooks meant to survive looping apps where viewers half-watch.
Comparison trap: do not judge Seedance solely on narrative storytelling tests or Veo solely on nightclub clips. Give each model prompts aligned with how it was marketed—not how Twitter rumors describe it.
