Seedance 2.0: Turn keyframes into cinematic motion
ByteDance’s image-to-video model animates a still frame with natural movement, optional synchronized audio, and flexible runtimes—ideal when you already have a hero image and need a clip that matches your brief.
How to use
Upload a starting image, describe the move, tune duration and format, then export—three steps from a still to a clip your team can react to.
Upload your keyframe
Add a clear still (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) and write a motion prompt: what should change on screen, how the camera should feel, and pacing cues.
Choose settings
Fine-tune your output by adjusting the available settings to match your creative vision and project requirements
Download
Preview the render, tweak the prompt or settings, then download or iterate for the next variation.
Product benefits
Shape motion with prompts, optional end frames, and output choices that mirror how teams ship social, ads, and internal reviews.
Open image to videoMotion, pacing, and optional generated audio in one pass
Describe action and camera intent in plain language. When you want ambience, effects, or synced speech, enable generated audio so picture and sound evolve together.
Steer the clip with optional end frames
Start from one image and, when your story needs it, supply an ending still so the model can interpolate toward a defined final composition.
Choose resolutions and aspect ratios for each deliverable
Pick 480p for faster turns or 720p for balance, and match aspect ratios from vertical social to ultrawide layouts so exports fit the placement without extra reframing.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about Seedance 2.0 inside Studio AI and how it compares to other motion workflows.
What is Seedance 2.0?+
It is ByteDance’s image-to-video model: you supply a starting image and a text prompt for motion, and the system returns a short video. Optional controls include an ending image, resolution, duration, aspect ratio, and generated audio.
Where do I use it in Studio AI?+
Use the Image to video tool. When Seedance 2.0 is enabled for your workspace, select it from the model dropdown, upload your frame, and submit. If you do not yet see it, your account may still be on Seedance v1.5 or other models—refresh after releases or contact support.
Does it support audio?+
Yes, you can enable synchronized audio generation (ambient sound, effects, or speech) when the option is exposed in the tool. Toggle it to match whether you need a silent preview or a sound-rich cut.
What image formats can I upload?+
Use JPEG, PNG, or WebP under the size limits shown in the uploader. Larger sources may take longer to process; follow any on-screen validation if resolution or file size is adjusted.
How long can clips be?+
On the model side, supported clip lengths span multiple seconds up to fifteen seconds per generation, including an automatic length mode. The exact selectable values in Studio AI follow what /v3/tools returns for the Seedance 2.0 option once it is enabled for your account.
Is it suitable for commercial projects?+
Commercial use depends on your Studio AI plan and the terms covering generated media. Review the latest licensing information in your account before delivering work to clients.
How does it relate to text-to-video?+
Image to video starts from pixels you already like; text to video invents the whole frame from language. Use Seedance 2.0 when you have a packshot, key art, or storyboard still; switch to text-to-video when you want the model to invent the opening frame.
