Reference to Video AI – Transform Clips with Seedance | Vidxo

Video-to-video AI · style transfer · creative variations from reference footage

Transform existing footage with Vidxo reference-to-video AI. Upload a short MP4, MOV, or AVI clip and describe how you want it changed — anime style transfer, weather effects, seasonal swaps, or subtle creative variations — while preserving timing and motion from your source video. Built for creators repurposing B-roll, marketers testing ad variants, and sellers adapting supplier demos without reshooting.

Unlike starting from scratch in text-to-video, reference-to-video anchors generation to your uploaded clip so camera paths and subject motion stay recognizable. Pair with video watermark removal when supplier footage still has corner logos before transformation.

Seedance models power the workspace with duration and aspect ratio controls aligned to Reels, Shorts, and widescreen ads. Credits consume per successful job with estimates on the panel. Completed clips save to your account for download and iteration.

Prompt tip: be specific about the transformation — "convert to watercolor animation style, keep original camera pan" or "add light rain and moody fog, preserve subject movement."

Reference-to-video FAQ

1What video formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, and AVI uploads are supported. See the panel for current size and duration limits.

2How is this different from text-to-video?

Reference-to-video requires an uploaded clip; text-to-video starts from a written scene only.

3Can I use supplier footage?

Only when you have rights to edit the source. Remove logos first with video watermark removal if needed.

4How are credits charged?

Per successful generation based on model, duration, and options shown before submit. See pricing for packs.

5Can I combine with image-to-video?

Yes. Animate stills with image-to-video, then use reference-to-video for style passes on motion clips.

6What makes a good reference clip?

Stable camera, clear subject motion, and even lighting. Clean watermarked corners before upload for best inpainting results.
