Seedance 2.5 AI video generator input methods
Micro context
reference image, subject preservation, motion direction, camera path, consistency constraints
Image-to-video intent
This page should not compete with text-to-video. It answers the separate case where the user already has visual material.
Preservation constraints
A good image-to-video brief states what must stay stable: character identity, product shape, brand color, scene layout, or object position.
Bridge to camera control
After the reference is defined, the next semantic gap is movement: pan, dolly, orbit, zoom, handheld, or locked camera.
Entity attribute value coverage
| Entity | Attribute | Value |
|---|---|---|
| reference image | role | visual anchor |
| motion prompt | role | animation instruction |
| subject consistency | risk | identity drift |

Name the subject, list the features that must remain unchanged, and keep motion instructions focused.
