Restyle
Take a plain clip and give it a look - film stock, anime, claymation, a specific decade, a particular palette. The action stays recognisable while the visual language changes completely.

AI video restyling & transformation
Upload existing footage and describe a new visual style — Seedance 2.5 uses your clip as reference to generate a restyled AI video at up to 1080p. Free video to video AI transformation online.
MP4 or MOV, 2-15s each, 15s total, up to 200MB. Requires R2 with a public domain - the model fetches the file over the network.
Model
New in 2.5: generate up to 30 seconds, guide motion with as many as 30 images, or start from audio alone.
Input modeReferences
Add at least one reference below. Images, videos, and audio can be used alone or combined.
Reference videos (optional) 0/10
MP4 or MOV, 2-30s each, 30s combined, up to 200MB. Requires R2 with a public domain - the model fetches the file over the network.
Reference audio (optional) 0/10
Seedance 2.5 accepts MP3 or WAV clips, 2-30s each and 30s combined. Audio-only reference is supported.

Free credits are for a quick preview, not the final video. Use a short duration and lower resolution to check the subject, motion, and prompt. A fuller, more compelling final shot often needs a longer duration and higher supported resolution—use paid credits when your scene needs those settings.

Video to video AI — restyle existing footage free
Upload existing footage and describe a new visual direction. Seedance 2.0 uses your clip as reference to generate a restyled output at up to 1080p. No reshooting required.
This workflow accepts video references only. It is strongest when the footage is worth keeping in structure but not in look. The model uses your clip's motion, timing, and subject as guidance while applying the new visual style you describe.
- Source motion and timing used as guidance
- Restyle, relocate or re-light a scene
- Video references plus a text prompt
How your footage and prompt work together
Your source clip and prompt each provide different signals to the generator.
Relocate
Use a filmed performance as guidance for a newly generated setting. Motion, timing, identity, and lighting may change, so compare the result with the source.
Borrow the move
Use a clip as motion guidance for a different subject. Camera behaviour and pacing can influence the result, but the provider may choose a different path or timing.
What makes a good source clip
The source clip can guide action timing, camera trajectory, spatial layout, and pacing, but the output is newly generated rather than a preserved timeline. Motion, identity, text, logos, and fine detail can all change. Review each result against the source, and use Reference to Video when still-image guidance is also required.
The scale of the requested change can influence how far the new result departs from its source, but even a modest restyle can alter timing, composition, identity, or detail. State the source qualities you want used as guidance, work from clear footage, and compare every generated take with the original.
What the source can guide
Action timing, camera trajectory, spatial layout, pacing, and subject position can guide the new generation, but none is guaranteed to remain unchanged.
Pin these explicitly
Text, logos, brand colour, facial identity, and other fine details can change. Review them closely, and switch to Reference to Video when still-image guidance is required.

Why creators use 智擎云 for AI video generation
The model is ByteDance's. What 智擎云 adds is what makes it usable at work: honest limits, honest billing, and output you are allowed to ship.
Text, images, and video in a single pass
Text, up to 30 reference images, 10 reference videos, and 10 audio references can guide one Seedance 2.5 generation instead of being stitched together afterwards.
Sound generated with the picture
When audio is enabled, Seedance 2.5 can generate footsteps, room tone, impacts, dialogue, and score with the video. Review timing and content before publishing, or switch audio off when the clip needs separate sound design.
Flexible ratios, up to 4K
One prompt covers a 9:16 vertical cut for Reels, a 16:9 master for YouTube, and a 21:9 anamorphic frame for a title sequence. Resolution runs from 480p to 4K, so the same take holds up on a cinema screen and on a phone.
Credits you can predict
The maximum credit reservation is calculated from the selected model, duration, resolution, ratio, and video-reference input, then shown before submission. A successful video job can settle lower from provider-reported usage; confirmed failed jobs return the reservation.
Built for efficient iteration
Use Mini for cost-efficient prompt exploration, Fast when you want a balance of generation speed and cost, and Seedance 2.5 when its longer duration or richer reference inputs fit the shot. Switching models starts a new generation, so results may vary.

Restyle a clip in three steps
A direct workflow from source footage to a restyled clip you can review and refine.
- 1
Upload your source clip
Up to three clips, fifteen seconds combined. Trim to the segment that matters - a shorter, cleaner source produces a better result than a long one with dead air.
- 2
Describe the destination
Describe the new look and the source qualities you want used as guidance. This page accepts video references only; use Reference to Video when still images are also needed.
- 3
Generate and compare
Review against the source. If the result drifted too far, simplify the requested change; if it changed too little, make the new direction more explicit. Each attempt is a separate generation.
Where restyling saves a reshoot
Strongest when the footage exists but the look does not.
Rescuing and repurposing an archive
Old campaign footage gets a contemporary grade and a new setting instead of a reshoot. A library that felt dated becomes usable again.
Style variants for testing
One filmed performance, five visual treatments. Testing which look performs no longer means paying for five separate productions.
Turning a rough take into a finished one
A phone-shot reference can communicate the action and camera rhythm for a newly generated version. The result may choose different timing or details, so review the take and refine the prompt when the motion drifts.
Video to video AI — frequently asked questions
What is video to video?
It generates a new clip from a text prompt while using existing footage as motion and visual guidance. Timing, camera behaviour, identity, composition, and fine details can differ from the source.
How long can my source clip be?
Up to three reference videos with a combined length of fifteen seconds. Trim to the section that matters so the source guidance is focused and easier to evaluate.
Is this just a filter?
No. A filter maps pixels to new pixels. This regenerates the scene conditioned on your clip’s motion, which is why it can change the environment, the lighting direction and the materials rather than just the colours.
Will faces and logos stay accurate?
Fine details such as faces, logos, text, and packaging can change because the output is newly generated. Review every result; use Reference to Video if you also need still-image guidance.
Can I combine a source clip with reference images?
Not on this Video-to-Video page. It accepts video references only. Use Reference to Video when you need to combine source clips with still images in one request.
What quality of source footage do I need?
Well-exposed and reasonably stable. The model inherits your source’s problems along with its motion, so severe blur, heavy compression or violent shake will show up in the result.
