Keep useful source motion
Build on existing timing, performance, blocking, and camera movement instead of recreating the sequence from text.
Transform an existing clip with new direction
Video to Video AI Generator
Reimagine footage without starting from zero
Use an existing clip as the motion and timing foundation for a new Seedance 2.5 result. Direct the visual treatment, environment, lighting, atmosphere, protected motion, and optional sound while keeping the source sequence readable.
Built-in generator
Transform a video with Seedance 2.5
Upload a source clip you own or have permission to use, explain what should change and what should remain stable, then select the output settings and review the exact cost.
Separate preserved motion and timing from the appearance, environment, or atmosphere you want to change. 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
Change the visual direction
Redesign style, material, lighting, weather, setting, or atmosphere around the original motion.
Define what stays stable
Protect the movement, framing, subject position, or key timing beats that should survive the transformation.
How it works
Create with Video to Video in three steps
- 1
Upload a suitable source clip
Choose footage with readable motion, stable subjects, and timing that already matches the intended result.
- 2
Describe the transformation
State what must remain unchanged, what should be redesigned, and how the final visual and sound direction should feel.
- 3
Review settings and generate
Confirm the selected model, output settings, source permissions, and exact credit total 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
Video to Video AI Generator FAQ
What is a video to video AI generator?+
A video to video generator uses an existing clip as the temporal foundation for a transformed result. The source provides motion, timing, and framing while the prompt directs what should change or remain stable.
What source video works best?+
Use a clear clip with readable subjects, coherent movement, and framing that already supports the intended result. You must own the footage or have permission to transform it.
Can I replace the entire action?+
Video to Video works best when the source motion remains useful. If the new brief requires completely different action or staging, Text to Video or References to Video may be a better starting point.
How do I keep the transformation coherent?+
State which motion, timing, framing, and subject relationships must stay stable, then limit the redesign to a compatible visual direction.
