ABOUT THE WORKFLOW
Animate a Still Into a Clip Upload a picture and describe the motion. Seedance 2.0 builds the video and returns a clip. Add an optional end image to steer where the shot lands. Turn audio on and the model writes sound in the same pass.
Partner node. This workflow calls an external API, so each run uses credits from your API wallet. No API key needed. Floyo handles the connection.
Model
Seedance 2.0 by ByteDance. Released February 2026. A closed video model that takes a start image, an optional end image, and a text prompt, and generates a clip at 480p or higher with optional sound. Strong at smooth motion from a reference image and at following detailed camera language.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1. Upload your start image The frame the clip opens on. It sets the subject, the scene, and the framing. Works great with: landscapes · street scenes · product shots · character art
Step 2. Upload an end image (optional) The frame the clip should land on. Helps the model plan the motion path from start to finish.
Step 3. Describe the motion Say what moves and how, plus the camera. Detailed prompts with specific camera language land closest. "The maroon sedan drives forward along the curve, leaves drift down, dappled sunlight shifts across the road."
Step 4. Hit run and download The clip is built, split into frames and audio, packed into a video file, and saved under video/ComfyUI. Ready for: Premiere · DaVinci Resolve · CapCut · After Effects
First time? Leave every setting as-is. The defaults (480p · 5 seconds · 16:9 · audio off · random seed) are the right starting point for almost everyone.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Quick-start guide. Find the goal that matches yours and copy the settings.
Standard clip (most people) — 480p · 5 seconds · 16:9 · audio off · random seed. The right starting point for almost everyone.
Want higher resolution — Raise the resolution dropdown above 480p. Resolution and duration together drive cost, so raise one at a time.
Want a different shape — Switch the aspect ratio dropdown. 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 are available.
Want sound on the clip — Turn audio on. The model writes sound in the same pass as the picture. Describe the sound in the prompt for the closest match.
Want the shot to land on a specific frame — Upload a second image as the end image. The model plans the motion between the two.
Repeat a take you liked — Set a fixed seed number instead of leaving it on random. The same image, prompt, and seed give you the same clip back.
The motion is wrong — Rewrite the prompt before you touch a setting. Name each movement, the camera speed, and what stays fixed.
Prompt: Write it as a story. Subject and setting first, then what happens frame by frame: "The car drives forward along the curve, leaves drift and tumble across the asphalt, sunlight shifts through the canopy, camera tracks alongside." Splitting action from atmosphere gives the model a clear read on what to animate and what to hold.

🎨 Previz and Storyboarding Test how a still moves before committing to a full production pass or a camera day.
WHAT WORKS BEST / WHAT TO AVOID
✅ Works great
Clear, well-lit start images with readable subjects
Detailed prompts that name the motion, the camera, and the atmosphere
Start and end images framed at a similar subject size
Clips of 5 seconds
⚠️ May produce softer results
Photorealistic faces at close range
Fast collisions and complex physics
Short keyword prompts with no camera or motion direction
Start and end images with wildly different framing
FAQ
What is Seedance 2.0? Seedance 2.0 is a video model from ByteDance, released February 2026. It takes a start image, an optional end image, and a text prompt, and generates video at 480p or higher with optional sound. This workflow runs the image-to-video mode, animating a still you upload.
Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio? Yes, when you turn audio on. Sound is generated in the same pass as the picture. It ships off by default on this workflow. Describe the sound in the prompt and turn the setting on to hear it.
Can Seedance 2.0 interpolate between a start and end frame? Yes. Upload a second image as the end frame and the model builds smooth motion from the first to the last. Both images should frame the subject at a similar size for the cleanest result.
What is the difference between Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5? Seedance 2.5, released July 2026, doubles clip length from 15 to 30 seconds, adds support for up to 50 multimodal references, and introduces region-level editing. Seedance 2.0 is the earlier model. Both are closed with no open weights.
What is the difference between this and the Seedance 2.0 text-to-video workflow? Text to video generates from a prompt alone, with no input image. This workflow starts from a picture you upload, using it as the opening frame and conditioning the clip on its look. Use text to video to make something from scratch and this one to animate a still you already have.
Is Seedance 2.0 open source? No. Seedance 2.0 is a closed model with no published weights. It is reached through the ByteDance Seed API.
How to run Seedance 2.0 image to video online? You can run Seedance 2.0 image to video online through Floyo. No installation, no setup, no API key to wire up. Open the workflow in your browser, upload your image, describe the motion, and hit run. Free to try.
