Get started

Frequently asked questions

What inputs do I need?

Provide one image and a prompt describing the motion. The image is used as the starting frame.

How is this different from a product advertisement template?

This preset animates a starting image. The advertisement template accepts a product image and script, with optional actor and logo references, for a different workflow.

Can I add a last frame or multiple references?

This preset starts with one image. Use the linked Seedance workspace and API documentation for other supported controls and reference modes.

Will the video preserve every detail of my image?

Generated motion can change small details. Review the subject, edges, text and framing, then adjust the prompt or image when needed.

Can I use the same request in an app?

Yes. The Seedance API docs explain image-to-video submission, task polling and downloading the completed video.
