Image-to-video model access
Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator
Turn one image into a 4-second or 15-second video with a written motion direction. The workbench lets you choose framing, resolution, optional audio, and the credit cost before you create the clip.
Quick answer
The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator is best for creators who already have a strong source image and need a short, directed animation. Upload one image, describe one action and camera move, then generate and review the result in the same browser workflow.

Input and output evidence
What to inspect in an image-to-video result
These public Animate Photo AI examples show the review pattern used for image-to-video work. Compare the source frame with the clip, then check whether the subject, background, and requested movement remain coherent. Examples demonstrate the workflow and are not a guarantee that every image will produce the same result. The same review pattern applies to every Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator draft created from a public or private source image.
02 / Camera movementSource → motion
Prompt: Slow push-in toward the subject. Preserve the composition, lighting, and background geometry.
03 / Full-body actionSource → motion
Prompt: Create one continuous dance movement. Keep the outfit, body proportions, and camera position consistent.
Core capabilities
What the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator controls
The page exposes the choices that materially change an image-to-video job. It does not require a timeline editor or a separate prompt tool. Each control is available in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator workbench before submission.
Direct motion with plain language
The source image establishes the subject and composition. The prompt adds the intended action, camera direction, pacing, and preservation constraints, giving you a clear way to diagnose the next revision in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator.
Choose a format for the destination
Select landscape, portrait, square, or another supported ratio before generation. The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator keeps format choice next to the prompt. Use 9:16 for short-form feeds, 16:9 for wide video, and 1:1 for square placements.
Balance speed, length, and quality
A 4-second draft is useful for testing motion direction. A 15-second clip gives the action more time to develop. Choose 480p for a lower-cost iteration or 720p for a clearer review file.
See cost before generation
The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator updates required credits from the chosen settings. Optional audio, duration, and resolution can affect the total, so the live workbench estimate is the source of truth.
Four-step workflow
How to use the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator
Start with the simplest version of the shot. A controlled first attempt in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator makes it easier to identify what should change next.
- STEP 01
Upload one source image
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10MB. Use a sharp image with one readable subject and enough space for the movement you want to create.
- STEP 02
Describe one motion goal
Write the subject, action, camera move, and anything that must remain stable. For example: “The subject turns toward camera. Slow push-in. Keep the face, clothing, and background unchanged.”
- STEP 03
Choose the output settings
Select 4 or 15 seconds, an aspect ratio, and 480p or 720p. Enable audio when available, then check the displayed credit estimate.
- STEP 04
Generate and review the result
Inspect subject consistency, unwanted background motion, camera direction, and timing. Revise one prompt instruction at a time for the next take.
Prompt formula: subject + one action + one camera move + details to preserve. The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator responds more predictably when the first prompt avoids several locations, cuts, or unrelated actions.
Decision guide
Seedance 2.0 input and output settings
Choose the delivery format before writing a detailed prompt. The same movement can read differently in a vertical close-up and a wide landscape frame. The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator keeps these output choices next to the prompt so you can review them together. This is the fastest way to compare a Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator draft against the destination format.
| Setting | Available choice | Practical recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Image | One JPG, PNG, or WebP; up to 10MB; minimum 300px | Use a sharp frame with a readable subject |
| Duration | 4 seconds or 15 seconds | Use 4s to test; use 15s when the action needs time |
| Resolution | 480p or 720p | Use 480p for iteration and 720p for a clearer review |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, or 21:9 | Match the channel before generation |
| Audio | Optional when available | Enable only when sound belongs in the intended result |
| Credits | Calculated from current settings | Confirm the live estimate before generating |
Common projects
Where Seedance 2.0 image-to-video fits
The tool works best when a single source frame already contains the subject, composition, and visual style you want to preserve. Each Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator use case below starts from that same image-first constraint.
01portrait image to video
Portraits for social posts
A creator starts with a well-lit portrait, requests a small expression or head movement, and selects 9:16. The expected result is a short vertical portrait clip that keeps attention on the face.
02AI product video generator
Product reveal drafts
A marketer uploads a clean product image, asks for a slow push-in or orbit, and tells the model to preserve the product shape, label, and lighting. The result can be reviewed before final campaign editing.
03animate art with AI
Artwork and scene animation
An illustrator provides a composed scene, describes one environmental movement and one camera move, then chooses a wide or vertical format. The output becomes a motion study for a teaser or pitch made with the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator.
Quality control
Review every generated video before publishing
AI video output is probabilistic. The same image and prompt can produce different motion, so a generated clip should be treated as a draft until its important details have been checked. The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator is a creation aid, not a replacement for reviewing the final frames.
- The main subject remains recognizable from the first frame to the last.
- The requested camera movement travels in the intended direction.
- Hands, faces, logos, and straight edges do not change unexpectedly.
- Background motion supports the shot instead of distracting from it.
- The clip has enough time for the requested action to finish.
Current boundaries
This page currently exposes a single-image workflow. It does not present multiple reference videos, timeline editing, video extension, or character-role assignment as available controls in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator. Treat the page as a focused image-to-video workflow rather than a full editing suite.
Dense group scenes, very small faces, hidden limbs, heavy text, and several simultaneous actions are harder to preserve. Simplify the image or motion request when consistency matters more than complexity in the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator.

Direct answers
Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator FAQ
- What is the Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator?
- The Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator on Animate Photo AI turns one uploaded image into a short video. You can guide the motion with a prompt and choose duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and optional audio before generating.
- Where can I use Seedance 2.0 online?
- You can use Seedance 2.0 directly in the workbench at the top of this page. Animate Photo AI provides access through its own interface; this page is not the official ByteDance or Seedance website.
- What image formats and video lengths are supported?
- The workflow accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 10MB, with a minimum dimension of 300px. Available output lengths are 4 seconds and 15 seconds, with 480p and 720p resolution options.
- How should I write a Seedance 2.0 prompt?
- State who or what should move, the action, the camera direction, and what should stay unchanged. Start with one action and one camera move; shorter, specific instructions are easier to diagnose than several scene changes.
- How many credits does a Seedance 2.0 video use?
- Credit use depends on duration, resolution, and audio. The workbench calculates the current amount before you generate, so review that live number instead of relying on a fixed estimate in page copy.
