AI image generation
How AI image generation fits the Seedance 2.5 workflow
Use image models for concept art, product stills, keyframes, campaign visuals, and references that can later drive video generation.
AI image generation is not separate from video work. It can create the still image, product concept, storyboard panel, or keyframe that becomes a reference for image-to-video generation.
Quick decision
Best for
- Keyframes, product stills, concept art, campaign images, and references that can later drive video generation.
- Creators who need a still visual source before animating the scene.
Not ideal for
- Tasks that already have approved reference images and only need animation.
- Long-form video jobs where no image asset or keyframe is needed.
Choose this when
- You need to create or refine the visual reference before sending it into image-to-video, first-frame, or style-guided generation.
Create stills and keyframes in the same workspace
The image generator presents production-ready model names such as GPT Image, Nano Banana, and Seedream, so creators can choose by output style and use case.
Images as reusable references
A generated image can become the reference for a later video prompt. This lets creators design a product still or visual style first, then animate it in the video workflow.
Resolution and usage
Choose the resolution supported by the selected model. Review high-resolution outputs and upscales before generation because they can change the final setup.
Key takeaways
Can AI image outputs be used as video references?+
Yes. Generated images can be reused as references for image-to-video, first-frame, last-frame, or style-guided video workflows.
Which image model names should users see?+
Use the clear model names shown in the workspace, such as GPT Image, Nano Banana, and Seedream.
Why include image generation in a video product?+
Many video workflows start with a still keyframe, product render, or style image. Image generation gives creators a controlled visual source before animation.
