Start from a visual anchor
Use an existing portrait, product image, illustration, or concept frame as the opening visual direction.
Animate a still frame with directed motion
Image to Video AI Generator
Bring a still image to life
Use the Scenyra image to video AI generator to animate a still image while directing subject movement, camera behavior, atmosphere, pacing, and optional native audio. Keep the source composition as the visual starting point for the shot.
Built-in generator
Create an image to video with Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 is selected by default for longer 4–30 second animation, continuity-focused direction, and optional native audio. Upload an image, describe the motion, and review the cost before generating.
Upload a clear source image, then describe what should move, what must remain stable, and how the camera should behave. Paid credits are required, and the exact total is shown before generation.
Why use this workflow
More control from the first frame to the final beat
Control motion deliberately
Separate subject motion, environmental movement, and camera behavior so the animation has a clear hierarchy.
Protect important details
Tell the model which identity, product, wardrobe, composition, or background details should remain stable.
How it works
Create with Image to Video in three steps
- 1
Upload the source image
Choose a clear image you own or have permission to use. Strong subject separation and readable detail provide a better starting point.
- 2
Describe the animation
Explain the subject movement, camera motion, environmental changes, protected details, pacing, and optional sound.
- 3
Review settings and generate
Choose duration, aspect ratio, resolution, format, and audio, then confirm the displayed credit cost before submission.
Model choice
Start with Seedance 2.5, switch when the brief requires it
Seedance 2.5 is the default for longer 4–30 second sequences, richer continuity direction, MP4 or MOV output, and optional native audio. Seedance 2.0 remains available for 5–15 second clips and resolution options up to 4K.
Frequently asked questions
Image to Video AI Generator FAQ
What is an image to video AI generator?+
An image to video AI generator uses a still image as the visual starting point for a moving sequence. A prompt directs subject motion, camera behavior, environmental movement, pacing, atmosphere, and sound.
Which model does the image to video generator use by default?+
Scenyra selects Seedance 2.5 by default. In the current integration it supports 4–30 second output or automatic timing, 480p or 720p resolution, MP4 or MOV format, and optional native audio.
What kind of source image works best?+
Use a clear image with a readable subject, consistent lighting, and enough detail for the intended output. You must own the image or have permission to use it.
Can I keep the subject consistent while animating the image?+
You can improve continuity by clearly stating which identity, product, wardrobe, composition, and background details must remain stable. Results still require review because generative video can introduce visual changes.
