Turn any still image into a professional motion graphic through the Novoads API on Seedance 2.5. Covers how to read a reference image, motion vocabulary for any image type — UI, marketing hero, flat-lay, key art, collage, product, character — the prompt clauses that control camera, timing, frozen regions and text fidelity, and the upload mechanics. Use whenever the user supplies an image and wants it animated, moving, or turned into video — including "animate this…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/image-to-motion@sha256:ba275eaa9a17f608

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.da488ac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
