Photo to AI video in 3 steps

The standard 3-step Seedance 2.0 i2v flow. First/last frame control is optional.

  1. Dragging a photo onto the Renoise Canvas upload card
    Step 1

    Drop photo

    Drag any JPG/PNG onto the Canvas surface. Seedance i2v handles portraits, products, and scenes; any size, upscaled internally.

  2. Typing a motion prompt for the dropped photo in Renoise Canvas
    Step 2

    Write motion prompt

    Describe what moves: "slow camera push-in", "leaves drifting in gentle wind". Skip the photo description — Seedance reads the image.

  3. Selecting Seedance 2.0 from the Renoise Canvas model menu
    Step 3

    Set duration, aspect

    Duration: 6s, 10s, or 15s. Check 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 boxes — each aspect renders natively, not a center-crop.

From still photo to clip

One image plus a motion prompt — Seedance 2.0 i2v handles portraits, products, and scenes.

Portrait push-in

A still portrait gains a slow cinematic push-in and a hint of breeze — no description prompt needed.

Product showcase

A flat product shot turns into a rotating CGI reveal with lighting that holds throughout.

Ambient motion

Keep the subject still and let the world move around them — crowds blur, the frame stays composed.

Lifelike detail

Small natural motion — a glance, a shift in posture — animated from a single everyday photo.

Renoise capabilities used

Three pieces matter most for photo-to-video work.

Seedance i2v

Hand it one photo plus a motion prompt; get a coherent 6–15 second clip.

Frame control

Pin start and end frames; Seedance interpolates for transitions, lighting shifts, and reveals.

Multi-aspect render

Generate 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 from one job, each rendered natively.

Frequently asked questions

1.How long can the output clip be?

Seedance 2.0 i2v supports 6, 10, or 15 second outputs from a single image. For longer videos, generate multiple clips with shared first/last frames and stitch them on the Canvas Timeline.

2.Does the photo need to be high resolution?

No. iPhone quality (12MP+) is fine; older smartphones (5MP+) also work. Renoise upscales internally before passing the image to Seedance. The bottleneck is subject clarity, not pixel count.

3.Can I control the camera motion?

Yes — through the motion prompt. Use verb-noun pairs: "slow push-in", "left dolly", "tilt-down", "static frame with subject motion only". Seedance interprets these directly, so you don't need camera-language jargon.

4.Last-frame anchor versus motion prompt?

Motion prompts let Seedance choose the ending; last-frame anchors lock the exact end state. Use last-frame for controlled transitions like product opens or lighting reveals, and prompt-only for natural camera and ambient motion.

5.Will faces in the photo stay consistent across the clip?

Yes within a single clip. Seedance 2.0 preserves facial features across the 6–15 second output. For consistency across multiple clips (multi-shot videos), @-reference the same image in each clip prompt. If that image contains a real human face, clear it through FacePass first — video models block real-face reference images, and FacePass is the compliant path once you hold the rights to that likeness.

6.Can I animate a product photo for ecommerce?

Yes — and it's one of the most common uses. See the AI product video guide for a full ecommerce workflow with batch generation across SKUs.
