Image → Motion Graphic

Any still can become a professional motion graphic. The work is direction, not damage control: decide what moves, in what order, and say it precisely enough that there is nothing left to interpret.

Vague prompts produce vague motion. Specific prompts produce the shot you pictured. That is the whole discipline.

Resolved, 2026-08-12 — seedance-2.5 takes a start image again, and the render honours the aspectRatio you ask for.

Earlier the same day, POST /v1/videos with "model": "seedance-2.5" and a startImageAssetId failed server-side every time (isolated with nine single-variable probes; credits were charged and refunded automatically). The platform fix shipped and was verified live 2026-08-12: the same call that failed now renders, and a source image whose shape differs from the requested aspectRatio is fitted to the ask server-side with content-safe padding — nothing is cropped away, and the output arrives at the ratio you requested. No workaround is needed; write the call as this skill documents it.
