Workflow

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload a reference image

    Use a clean product shot, packshot, or brand visual as the motion source.

  2. 2

    Describe the motion

    Specify camera path, pacing, lighting mood, and clip length.

  3. 3

    Generate the clip

    Render with Kling and compare variants until the movement feels natural.

  4. 4

    Export for campaigns

    Download the loop for ads, PDP hero sections, and social placements.

Image-first workflow

Why use Seedancy for image to video

Image to video works best when the source still remains the anchor. Seedancy keeps the reference image, motion prompt, model choice, and preview workflow in one tool page.

  • Built around uploaded source images

    Start from a product photo, portrait, landscape, pet photo, or campaign still instead of generating a scene from scratch.

  • Prompt with camera language

    Describe push-ins, orbits, dolly moves, reveals, highlight sweeps, depth changes, and pacing in plain language.

  • Better for preserving the subject

    When the product, person, animal, or composition needs to remain recognizable, image-to-video gives the model a stronger visual anchor.

  • Useful for social and ad testing

    Generate multiple motion directions from the same still and compare which one works best for ads, PDP heroes, Shorts, Reels, or launch pages.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What images work best?

Clean product shots with clear subjects and minimal clutter animate best. Start from AI Product Photo if you need a catalog-ready still first.

How long can the clip be?

Clip length depends on the active model and plan limits. Most marketing clips land between 3 and 6 seconds.

Can I combine this with text-to-video?

Yes. Many teams generate a hero still with AI Product Photo, animate it here, or switch to Text to Video for fully prompt-driven motion.
