Frequently asked questions
What is the most important image-to-video input?
A clean and compositionally strong first frame is the most important input for a stable clip.
How should motion be written?
Describe camera movement separately from one plausible subject action and any secondary motion.
Which model should I use for drafts versus final video?
Use Seedance 2.0 for fast drafts and Seedance 2.5 for stronger final motion and camera control.
