Create vertical video clips from a prompt or image with Seedance 2.0. Built for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok-first workflows.
The job
Vertical video is a different format, not a crop. The subject has to read in the middle of the frame, the first second has to earn attention, and the motion has to survive compression. A landscape clip with the sides cut off usually feels like an afterthought.
This workflow uses Seedance 2.0 to create a 9:16 clip from a prompt or a source image. You can keep the motion simple, choose a short duration, and build a clip that is designed for a phone screen from the start.
It is useful for product teasers, creator hooks, event promos, restaurant specials, and any brand that needs a short vertical asset without a full production crew.
Create a vertical opener for a Reel, Short, or TikTok post without a full shoot.
Turn a product still into a short vertical clip for a launch or a paid social test.
Animate a poster or venue photo into a vertical announcement.
Give an existing image a second life as a motion asset for stories and feeds.
Start from a tested recipe
Copy a prompt or open it directly in the workspace. Each recipe is written for a different layout, not just a different adjective.
A scroll-stopping vertical opener for a Reel or Short.
Use the source image as the exact reference. Create a five-second vertical clip with a fast push-in during the first second, then a slow drift back. Keep the subject centered and consistent. No text, no watermark.
A simple product demo that fits a vertical feed.
Use the product image as the exact reference. Create a five-second vertical clip with a slow rotation, a hand entering the frame, and a clean background. Keep the product shape and label unchanged. No text, no watermark.
An atmospheric teaser for a story or event.
Use the source image as the exact reference. Create a five-second vertical clip with drifting fog, a slow camera tilt, and a single light flare. Keep the subject recognizable. No text, no watermark.
A polished vertical clip for a podcast promo.
Use the podcast still as the exact reference. Create a five-second vertical clip with subtle head movement, a slow push-in, and a soft background blur. Keep the speakers and microphones consistent. No text, no watermark.

The workflow
Use a source with the subject centered and enough headroom for a platform's interface overlays.
Describe a single camera move and one environmental motion. Keep the subject centered.
Choose a vertical ratio and a short clip length for a feed-first result.
Watch the clip on a phone-sized screen and check that the subject is still readable under the platform UI.
Honest limits
Direct answers about the workflow, the export, and what still needs a human review.
Use 9:16. The workspace supports it directly, so you do not need to crop a landscape clip afterward.
Yes. Choose text-to-video and describe the scene. Starting from an image usually gives you more control over the subject.
The generator does not burn in captions. Add them in your editing app so they remain editable and accessible.
Five seconds is a useful first test. Longer clips are available, but a short, focused motion is easier to control.
Check the plan, model terms, and platform ad policy. The workflow gives you the asset; the campaign review is still yours.
You can create a vertical clip with a native-feeling camera move. Avoid pretending a synthetic clip is a real customer testimonial.
Ask for a centered subject and a simple camera move. Fast pans and complex motion are more likely to drift.
Yes. A poster or event graphic can be animated with a slow push-in, drifting fog, or a light sweep.
