Example promptSeedance 2.5

Keep the perfume bottle still and slowly move the camera closer. Preserve the product shape as studio light moves across the glass.

Animate the subject without rebuilding the whole scene

Your image supplies the appearance. Your prompt supplies the motion.

Product photo to product video

Start with a clean product image. Ask for a slow push-in or a small camera orbit to reveal material and shape. Keep labels, proportions, and the background in your review checklist.

Portrait animation

Try a blink, a slight turn, or a single step. Small movements give you a clear starting point for checking face consistency before attempting more complex action.

Illustrations and environments

Describe one moving layer: flowing water, drifting clouds, or leaves in the wind. State whether the camera stays still so the whole image does not need to move.

How to write a prompt and generate

1

Upload a clear source image

Choose JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB. Avoid motion blur and make sure important objects are fully visible.

2

Write a motion prompt

Describe the next action instead of listing everything already visible. For example: “The cup stays still; steam rises; the camera slowly moves closer.”

3

Select model and duration

Seedance 2.5 is selected for new work. You can also choose 2.0 or 1.5 Pro Fast when comparing costs or matching an existing project.

A prompt you can adapt

Keep the shoe in the uploaded photo still. Move the camera slowly from the front to a slight side angle. Soft studio light reveals the fabric texture. Keep the logo and background unchanged. No dialogue.

Seedance Image to Video FAQ

How do I turn a photo into a video with Seedance?

Upload the photo, describe the motion, then choose a duration and resolution. A short test helps you check whether the subject and framing stay close to the original.

What image size should I upload for image-to-video?

Use a sharp image with the same proportions as your intended video. For Seedance 2.5, crop to the desired ratio first: 9:16 for vertical or 16:9 for landscape. Files must be no larger than 10 MB.

Why does the face or product change during animation?

The model generates new frames rather than moving the original pixels. Large rotations, hidden surfaces, and fast action can introduce invented details. Reduce the motion and test a clearer source image.

What should an image-to-video prompt include?

Include the subject’s action, camera direction, and elements that should remain stable. “Slow zoom” alone leaves the model to decide the rest; add the intended pace and final framing.

Which Seedance model is cheaper for animating a photo?

At 5 seconds and 720p with audio, this site charges 5 credits for 1.5 Pro Fast, 27 for 2.0, and 41 for 2.5. Choose the version that meets your duration and output requirements.
