Watch Seedance video across genres
Describe a scene or drop in a start photo, and Seedance 2.5 renders it as a clip with sound.
Text or photo
Start with a prompt or with a photo
Seedance on Pixelcut works from a written prompt alone, or from a start photo it animates. Text suits a scene you can only picture. A photo sets the opening frame, letting your own product or place start the clip. Pick a length and a ratio, then generate.
- Write a prompt or upload a start photo
- Set the length, aspect ratio and sound
- Generate the clip and download the MP4

Guide Seedance image to video with two photos
Start from a photo you already have and watch it come to life. On version 2.5 you can add a closing photo too, and the clip travels from one pose to the other. You decide where the shot begins and where it lands.
Make Seedance AI videos with sound
Get the picture and its sound from a single prompt. Version 2.5 creates the audio together with the video. Your clip arrives with its sound already in place, ready to post or to cut into a longer edit.
Get a clip shaped for every screen
Every version on Pixelcut makes clips in six shapes, from cinematic 21:9 to vertical 9:16. Make one for a website banner, then another for a Reel. Each one is framed for the screen it plays on.
