Transforming Static Catalogs into High-Converting Video Ads

In modern social commerce (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), static image ads consistently underperform compared to video creatives. However, traditional studio video production often costs upwards of 1,500 dollars per SKU and takes weeks to deliver.

With Seedance 2.0 Image-to-Video, digital marketing teams can animate existing packshots, lifestyle photography, and model photos into commercial-grade video ads in under 60 seconds.
