AI Reference to Video

Seedance 2.0 at full strength, portrait references supported

Upload a reference image or a reference clip — one is enough. The reference decides the person, the product and the style; the prompt decides how the shot moves.

How to generate video from reference images

  1. 1

    Upload your references

    Upload up to 9 reference pictures, a reference clip, or one of each — whatever shows the look you want the shot to keep.

  2. 2

    Pick a model

    HappyHorse, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Pro take reference images. PixVerse builds from frames rather than references, so this page runs on the other three.

  3. 3

    Write the shot

    Describe what happens and how the camera moves. You can point at a reference by name inside the prompt.

  4. 4

    Generate and download

    Check the credit cost beside the generate button, then preview and download the finished clip.

What reference to video is good for

Keeping one character across shots

Feed the same character references into every clip so a series stays recognisably the same person.

Holding a brand look

Supply palette and styling references so a run of videos shares one visual language.

Product in a new setting

Show the product from a few angles and describe a scene it has never actually been photographed in.

Matching an art direction

Give it frames from the look you are chasing and let the prompt handle the action.

AI reference image to video FAQ

How many reference images can I upload?

Up to nine on a single generation. More angles of the same subject generally hold it steadier than a single picture.

Which models support reference images?

HappyHorse, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Pro. PixVerse generates from a first frame or a first-and-last-frame pair instead, so it sits on the image to video page rather than this one.

Do reference images decide the first frame?

No — they decide what things look like. The opening frame is generated from your prompt. When you need the video to start on one specific picture, use image to video.

Can I mix reference images with a first frame?

Each page keeps to one approach, so references and frames stay separate. Upload frames on the image to video page and references here, and both behave predictably.

What makes a good reference image?

Clear, well-lit pictures where the subject fills a good share of the frame. Several views of one subject beat nine unrelated pictures.

How many credits does one video cost?

It depends on the model, duration and quality, and the amount is shown next to the generate button before you confirm.

Will Seedance 2.5 be supported?

Seedance 2.5 is being wired up. Once it lands it shows up in the model menu on this page, and the references and prompts you already have carry over unchanged.

Where to go instead

  • AI Video Generator

    When the shot has to move — turn a still image or a prompt into footage.

  • AI Text to Video Generator

    When all you have is a sentence, and the picture still has to come from somewhere.

  • AI Image to Video Generator

    When you already have the picture and want it to move — or want to say where it ends.
