Now with Seedance 2.5: text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video
Seedance workflows
Seedance works best when the creative brief is specific: a reference image for subject or composition, a prompt for action and camera language, and a clear target for the final clip.
Use a reference image to guide Seedance motion, composition, product detail, and visual continuity. Start from a frame you already like, then direct what should move.

ultra realistic high fashion photograph of Emilia Clarke sitting on fresh white snow outdoors in winter. Recognizable facial structure and likeness of Emilia Clarke: oval face shape, soft youthful features, expressive almond-shaped green eyes, naturally full lips, straight petite nose, balanced facial symmetry. Natural winter blush on cheeks and nose. Calm confident expression with a subtle closed-mouth smile, looking directly into the camera. She is seated on the snow with legs bent forward, slightly apart, hands placed behind her for support. Camera angle slightly above eye level, gently looking down. She wears a fitted ribbed sleeveless zip-up yellow bodysuit and pink cable-knit thigh-high socks. Elegant minimal winter fashion styling. Slim, petite, feminine body proportions. Fair-to-light skin tone with natural texture. Background is a snow-covered ground with a dragon partially visible. Natural overcast winter daylight, soft diffused lighting, no harsh shadows, cinematic realism, high skin detail, realistic color grading.

Lens segments combine and move back. Left and right body sections close together. Upper body section moves down. Technical annotations smoothly appear.

A premium dessert product photograph becomes a luxury chocolate advertisement. The wrapper opens slightly, the surface catches soft studio light, and the camera pushes in with a polished commercial rhythm.

Isometric office, people working and talking, slow rotation around the isometric scene. Keep the composition clean, readable, and consistent throughout the movement.

Seedance Video is a focused AI video generator for Seedance workflows. It helps you turn prompts and reference images into short videos while staying close to the model strengths: motion, camera language, physical interaction, and visual consistency.
The page and generator are organized around text-to-video and image-to-video, so you can start with the two Seedance workflows most creators use first.
Write the scene like a short directing brief: subject, action, camera movement, lighting, pacing, and the details that should stay consistent.
Use an image to anchor the first visual direction, then describe how the subject, camera, or environment should move in the generated clip.
Review generated results, keep useful clips in your workflow, and download outputs for editing, campaign drafts, or publishing paths.
Seedance Video is designed for creators who want a direct route from idea, prompt, and reference image to a usable short-form AI video without burying the workflow under unrelated tools.

The practical tools and model-aware choices that make Seedance Video useful for prompt-to-video and image-to-video creation.
Create videos with Seedance, ByteDance Seed's video generation model line for short-form creative workflows.
Turn written direction into motion by specifying subject, action, camera movement, environment, lighting, and timing.
Use a reference image to guide subject appearance, product detail, composition, or the first-frame direction of a clip.
Write prompts around pushes, pans, orbits, close-ups, transitions, and blocking instead of relying on generic style words.
Keep generated work organized so you can compare directions, reuse stronger prompts, and continue editing outside the generator.
SEO-friendly sections explain the model, workflows, use cases, and common questions before visitors start generating.

Tested Seedance 2.5's long-video feature: a 2-minute short with dialogue generated from a single visual reference and a loose prompt about connection and community.

Shared a Seedance 2.5 clip and called its realism nearly indistinguishable from real footage, with longer durations and lower costs as the next frontier.
