Seedance 2.0 - Image to Video

Seedance 2.0 image-to-video generation from ByteDance.

Upload an image, describe how you want it to move, and Seedance 2.0 turns it into video with matching audio. You can set a start frame and an optional end frame to control where the motion lands. Clips run up to 10 seconds with audio generated in the same pass.

Two inputs. One image, one prompt. Hit Run.

How do you turn an image into video with Seedance 2.0?

Upload your image, write a motion prompt describing what should happen in the scene, pick your duration and resolution, and run. Seedance 2.0 preserves the look of your input image while adding motion, camera movement, and synchronized audio in one generation.

Prompt This is where you describe the motion. Be specific about what moves, how the camera behaves, and what happens over time. "A car drives along a winding road, leaves drift from branches, sunlight flickers through the canopy" works better than "make it move." Include direction, speed, and physical interactions. The model responds well to detailed scene descriptions with layered actions.

Image Your starting frame. Higher-resolution inputs give better results. Tight portraits preserve faces better but limit motion range. Full-body or wide shots let the model add more dynamic movement. Want the most control? Remove the background first and let the model generate one that matches your prompt.

End Image (optional) Want the video to land on a specific frame? Upload an end image. Seedance 2.0 interpolates the motion between your start and end frames. Leave it empty if you want the model to decide where things go.

Resolution Default is 480p. Good for testing and iteration. Higher resolutions take longer to generate and cost more. Start at 480p to nail your prompt, then bump it up for final output.

Duration Set to 10 seconds by default. This controls how long your output clip runs. Shorter clips (5 seconds) can feel punchier for social content. Longer clips give the model more time to develop complex motion.

Aspect Ratio Default is 16:9. Match this to your intended output format. 16:9 for YouTube and landscape. 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Stories. 1:1 for square social posts.

Generate Audio Turned on by default. Seedance 2.0 creates context-aware sound effects and ambient audio that match what's happening in the video. Turn it off if you plan to add your own soundtrack in post.

Seed Set to randomize by default. Lock it to a specific number when you want to compare prompt changes without changing the random factor. Helpful for A/B testing motion descriptions.

What is Seedance 2.0 image to video good for?

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest video model, built for turning still images into short cinematic clips with consistent motion and built-in audio. It handles product shots, social content, concept animations, and pre-visualization work where you need controlled movement from a reference image.

Product photography that needs to come alive for social ads or e-commerce listings. Upload your product shot, describe a slow camera orbit or a hand reaching in, and you get a video that keeps the product looking identical to the original.

Social content where you want movement from a single still. Portrait photos that blink or smile. Landscape shots where clouds roll and light shifts. Food photos where steam rises. Seedance 2.0 is strong at preserving what's in the image while adding believable motion.

Short film pre-visualization and concept animation. If you have a storyboard frame and need to show a director how the shot could move, this gets you there fast. The audio generation adds atmosphere without needing a separate sound design step.

The catch: outputs max at 10 seconds in this workflow. For longer sequences, you will need to chain clips or extend in post. And 480p is the default here, so bump the resolution for anything going into final production.

FAQ

How long are Seedance 2.0 image-to-video clips? This workflow generates clips up to 10 seconds long. You can set shorter durations (like 5 seconds) for punchier social content. The model generates audio in the same pass, so you get a complete video with sound in one run.

Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio with the video? Yes. Audio generation is on by default. The model creates context-aware sound effects and ambient audio matched to the scene. If you hear a car driving, you get engine and road sounds. Turn it off if you want to add your own audio later.

Can I control the start and end frames in Seedance 2.0? Yes. Your uploaded image is the start frame. You can optionally upload an end image, and the model interpolates the motion between them. This gives you precise control over where the animation begins and where it lands.

What resolution does Seedance 2.0 image to video support? This workflow defaults to 480p, which is good for fast iteration and testing prompts. Seedance 2.0 supports higher resolutions. Start at 480p to get your motion right, then increase resolution for the final render.

How do I run Seedance 2.0 image to video online? You can run Seedance 2.0 image to video online through Floyo. No installation, no setup. Open the workflow in your browser, upload your image, write your prompt, and hit run. Free to try.
