Seedance 2.0 Image to Video
Give the still its next moment. Set the frame before it moves.



He knew this door led downstairs. He opened it and died below. Footage shows him leave a safety marker, then curve towards the stairwell without visibly turning. Tracking was normal. The new build promised to steer him to safety. Why did it steer him here?

About
An illustration or photograph can establish the world before anything moves. Use it as the start frame, then describe what happens next: a curtain lifts, a reflection travels across glass, or a camera approaches a sculpture. Seedance 2.0 needs an explicit output aspect ratio for image-to-video, so check the crop before sending. Plan 4–15 seconds of action and decide whether the shot needs generated audio. Standard offers resolutions through 4K; Fast and Mini use 480p or 720p. Review the opening composition and the later frames together.
Questions
What does my image control?
It supplies the start frame. Your prompt describes movement, camera behavior and changing light after that opening. Reference to Video uses images as guidance for a new scene instead.
Does Seedance 2.0 follow my image shape automatically?
No. Choose the output aspect ratio explicitly. Prepare the source crop for that frame and check subject placement, especially for vertical clips.
Which duration and tiers are available?
Choose 4–15 seconds. Standard offers 480p, 720p, 1080p and 4K; Fast and Mini offer 480p or 720p. The highest model resolution does not apply to every tier.
Can I keep the camera still and turn sound off?
State a fixed camera in the prompt and use the audio-off setting. Inspect the actual output for camera drift and unintended motion rather than assuming every background detail stayed fixed.
Can I supply an ending image too?
Use Seedance 2.0 First & Last Frame for two required endpoints. Describing an ending in words does not supply an end-frame input.
