Motion and timing preserved
Body movement, object paths and camera rhythm come from your footage, so the restyled version follows a performance you have already approved instead of a new guess.

Video to Video Examples: Same Motion, New Look
Each example shows a frame of the restyled look beside the finished clip. The movement comes from the source footage; the style comes from the prompt.
Restyled frameSingle continuous uninterrupted cinematic shot, no cuts, one flowing 15-second take. Shot on ARRI Alexa with anamorphic lenses, photorealistic live-action film, NOT animated, NOT a video game, NOT CGI render. On a private jet runway tarmac in bright daytime, a sleek private jet parked with its boarding stairs lowered. Cinematic color grading, crisp natural daylight, heat shimmer off the tarmac, clean reflective surfaces, filmic contrast, natural film grain, shallow depth of field. Photorealistic textures, real human skin, realistic materials and reflections.The single camera begins up close beside the boarding stairs where a few beautiful female flight attendants wait — elegant, professional, well-groomed women in crisp tailored white uniforms with welcoming smiles. There is no one else around, only the attendants. The man [imageReference] rides into frame on a premium futuristic motorcycle and comes to a normal, smooth, calm stop right in front of the camera — an ordinary gentle braking with no dust, no skid, no dramatic impact, just easing to a stop. He wears relaxed but refined vacation clothing — a clean fully-buttoned short-sleeve shirt, smart casual trousers, sunglasses, and clean white sneakers, looking effortlessly cool. The motorcycle is an elegant high-end design finished in deep glossy black and metallic red, premium and sophisticated.Without any cut, the same camera flows with him as he swings off the bike confidently and the female attendants greet him warmly. The camera continues unbroken, keeping him in a wider full view from a distance, as he steps beside the motorcycle and presses a button on the bike — seen naturally from afar in the same wide framing, no close-up. The button lights up and the motorcycle responds: its panels smoothly fold and retract, the frame compacting and reconfiguring with precise futuristic mechanical motion, wheels tucking in, the whole machine collapsing down and reshaping itself into a sleek premium rolling suitcase in the same matching deep black and metallic red finish, a telescopic handle rising up. The same camera orbits gently around the transformation, never cutting. The female attendants react with amazement.Still in the same continuous unbroken take, the camera follows as the man casually grabs the suitcase handle, gives it a confident look, and walks at a relaxed unhurried pace pulling the rolling suitcase behind him to the boarding stairs. The shot ends just as he steps onto the first steps and begins to ascend, the camera trailing smoothly behind and to the side — all in one single flowing continuous shot with no cuts anywhere.Photorealistic, premium, clean luxury commercial film look, one smooth steady continuous camera move, restrained cinematic color palette, filmic grain.
Restyled clip
Keep the Take, Change the Look
A good take is hard to get. Video to video lets you reuse its movement and rhythm as a skeleton, then dress it in a completely different style, setting or material.
Models That Accept a Source Video
Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0 and Gemini Omni Flash can take a video as input. They differ in clip length, how many references they accept, how they handle audio and how closely they stick to the original structure.
Why Use Our Video to Video AI
The source clip carries the parts that are hardest to prompt. The model changes the parts that are easiest to describe.
Complete restyles
Shift live action to anime, painted 2D, claymation, film noir or a fantasy world in one generation, without masking or repainting a single frame by hand.
Composition stays intact
Framing and spatial layout come from the source, which gives the model far more structure than a prompt alone — especially when several people or objects move at once.
Many versions from one clip
Turn one strong take into a set of campaign, social and concept variations that all share the same action and edit timing.
How to Use the Video to Video Generator
Choose good source footage, describe the target look, render. The source does more of the work than you might expect.
Upload the source clip
Pick a short, stable clip whose movement or camera path you want to keep. Clear subjects and steady framing are easier for the model to follow.
Describe the new look
Name the style, setting, materials and lighting you want, and say what must stay from the original — the motion, the framing, the key beats.
Generate and compare
Render a short version, play it next to the source and tighten the prompt around anything that changed too much before making the final.
Video to Video Use Cases
Any time the action is right but the look is not, video to video saves a reshoot.
Live action into animation
Turn a filmed performance into anime, painted 2D, stop-motion or stylised 3D while keeping the actor's movement and the shot's timing.
Product video variations
Reuse a product spin, an unboxing or a hand interaction and change the set, the season, the lighting and the materials around it.
Music and fashion visuals
Keep the choreography and editorial rhythm of a take, then try surreal, graphic, retro or cinematic treatments around the performer.
Campaign variants
Produce several visual directions from one short clip for different platforms, launches or audiences, without asking anyone to perform it again.
Previs and VFX concepts
Turn rough blocking footage into a quick concept for a creature, costume, environment or effects shot before committing to full production.
Seasonal refreshes
Move an evergreen clip into winter, summer, a holiday or a launch-day look while keeping the action that already performs well.

Credit cost is shown before every run. Restyle a few seconds first to check that the motion holds, then render the full-length version.
Video to Video: Common Questions
What is video to video AI?
Video to video AI generates a new clip using an existing video as the structure. The movement, framing and timing come from your source footage, and the prompt describes the new style, setting or subject. It is often called AI restyling or video style transfer.
How is it different from image to video?
Image to video starts from a still and has to invent all of the motion. Video to video already has the motion — it comes from your clip — so the model focuses on changing the look. That makes it the better choice when a specific performance or camera move matters.
Which models support video to video on Open Sora?
Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0 and Gemini Omni Flash accept a source video. On this page the generator opens on the Video tab with Seedance 2.0 Mini selected. Other models can still be picked, but the Video tab only appears on models that accept a source video.
What kind of source video works best?
Short, well-lit clips with a clear subject and steady camera work best. Fast cuts, heavy motion blur or very busy scenes give the model less reliable structure to follow and tend to produce more drift.
How long can the source clip be?
Each model has its own limit, shown next to the upload area when you select it. Trimming the clip to just the section you need gives better results and costs less.
Will the new video keep the exact motion?
It keeps the overall movement, framing and rhythm, but it is a new generation rather than a frame-by-frame filter, so small details can shift. Saying "keep the original motion and camera" in the prompt helps the model prioritise structure.
Can I change just the background?
You can ask for it, and a focused prompt like "keep the person unchanged, replace the street with a snowy forest" often works. Because the whole frame is regenerated, expect some change to the subject as well, and keep the request as narrow as possible.
Can I turn live action into anime or 3D?
Yes, it is one of the most popular uses. Name the target style clearly — "cel-shaded anime", "soft clay stop-motion", "glossy toy-like 3D" — and describe the colours and lighting you want.
What happens to the original audio?
The source audio is not carried over automatically. Models with native audio can generate new sound for the restyled clip; otherwise the output is silent and you can add the original track back in your editor.
Why does the result drift from my footage?
Long clips, fast motion and prompts that ask for too many changes at once all increase drift. Shorten the clip, describe one style change, and explicitly state what should stay the same.
Is there a free way to try it?
You can open the tool and prepare your clip and prompt without paying. Generating uses credits; when welcome credits are enabled, new accounts receive a starter balance. The cost is shown before each run.
Can I use restyled videos commercially?
Commercial use follows your plan and the terms of service. You need the rights to the source footage, including any people, music or brands in it, and you are responsible for what the prompt asks the model to add.
