It&#8217;s also a sanity thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With text-only, we spend half our time re-rolling because the model changes details: logo placement drifts, materials morph, geometry gets reinterpreted.

Give the model a little breathing room around the subject (tight crops amplify drift).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lighting<\/strong>: pick one clear lighting story.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Good: soft key + gentle fill, clean shadows, readable edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risky: mixed color temperatures (neon + tungsten + daylight), heavy noise\/grain, blown highlights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Background<\/strong>: simpler is safer.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For product: seamless studio backdrops, subtle gradients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For interiors: clean lines and fewer repeating micro-patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Textures<\/strong>: be careful with tiny repeating patterns (knit fabric, micro-tiles, tight herringbone).

It&#8217;s best for &#8220;launch teaser&#8221; style motion\u2014subtle camera moves, light sweeps, and gentle parallax\u2014when you need the exact approved design to stay consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When should I use Seedance 2.0 image to video instead of text-to-video?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Seedance 2.0 image to video when identity must not change\u2014exact packaging, logos, materials, geometry, or a specific facade. Text-only generation often reinterprets details between takes. Image-to-video anchors the output to your source image, so you&#8217;re effectively saying, &#8220;Animate this scene\u2014don&#8217;t reinvent it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What kind of source image works best for Seedance 2.0 image to video?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best source image is &#8220;video-ready&#8221;: at least ~1024px on the short edge, clean framing with breathing room (especially around faces\/hands), and one clear lighting setup. Simple backgrounds and larger, readable textures hold up better. Tiny repeating patterns (knit, micro-tiles) often trigger texture swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What motion prompts look most realistic in Seedance 2.0 image to video?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Small, physically plausible motion wins: slow push-in (2\u20135%), gentle pull-back, subtle left-to-right parallax, soft light sweep, or minimal facial micro-actions like a blink. Keep clips short (around 4\u20136 seconds). Big actions (running, dancing, spinning) force the model to invent unseen surfaces and often break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I fix face drift in Seedance 2.0 image to video outputs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start from a front or 3\/4 face (avoid extreme profiles), keep the requested motion minimal, and add a constraint like &#8220;keep facial features unchanged.&#8221; Shorten the duration\u2014drift tends to increase over time. If your tool offers image\/reference strength, increase it for portraits to better preserve identity.
