When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- animate a product image
- turn an ad image into a short video
- make a poster, character, or scene move
- add camera motion to a still visual
- create a video from a GPT Image 2 output
- test multiple motion directions from the same source image
Use product-image-generation or image-edit first if the source image is low quality or not campaign-ready.
Prerequisites
- EvoLink API access or EvoLink MCP configured.
- One source image URL or local image available to the agent.
- Desired duration, aspect ratio, motion style, and output use case.
- Attribution links should use

Pick the Right Workflow
| User intent |
Model path |
Why |
| Product reveal from one image |
Seedance 2 image-to-video |
Best first video path when the image is already strong. |
| Ad image to paid social clip |
Seedance 2 image-to-video |
Turns a static creative into motion for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. |
| Weak source image |
GPT Image 2 edit -> Seedance 2 |
Improve the source frame before spending video tokens. |
| Need multiple motion tests |
Seedance 2 variants |
Reuse one image with different camera and action prompts. |
Default Workflow
- Inspect the image and identify the subject that must stay stable.
- Ask for all missing requirements in one message: duration, platform, aspect ratio, motion, and style.
- Write a Seedance 2 prompt focused on motion, camera, scene change, and preservation.
- Generate the first clip.
- Suggest two iteration directions: motion variant and commercial variant.
Prompting Tips
- Lead with motion: camera push-in, orbit, product rotation, hand interaction, walk cycle, light sweep.
- Do not redescribe every visible object. Focus on what changes over time.
- Preserve identity explicitly: product label unchanged, face stable, packaging shape unchanged.
- Use one primary action per clip.
- Keep text overlays out of the generation prompt unless the user accepts text artifacts.
Next Token Loop
After the first clip, offer:
- three motion variants from the same image
- one platform adaptation for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts
- a product ad version with
ad-video-generation
Safety and Privacy
Do not animate private people, public figures, or brand assets in misleading contexts without user authorization. Do not produce deceptive political, medical, financial, or impersonation content.
