Cicadas.ai is an independent site, not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by ByteDance or Jimeng AI (also released internationally as Dreamina). It runs Seedance 2.5, the ByteDance model family behind Jimeng's video features, so you can generate in English instead of using the Jimeng app. Choose text or one image, see the exact credit quote, then generate a private MP4.
Jimeng AI examples made on Cicadas
A paper city starts to move.
A red paper tram crosses a cardboard city as the windows light up, with mechanical rattling and rustling in the recorded audio.
Use this recipe ↗A handcrafted island wakes up.
Seedance animates the supplied island with cloud and water movement. This earlier audio example includes soft instrumental music and wind-like ambience; compare it with the separate silent test.
Use this recipe ↗A paper waterfall starts to flow.
A four-second silent image-to-video test. The cottage stays recognizable while the waterfall stretches downward. Fine texture softens at 480p; this is not a seamless loop.
Use this recipe ↗A quiet jewelry lighting study.
A four-second, 720p silent Seedance test of an original ring illustration. Motion is deliberately subtle. Review your own product details before publishing.
Use this recipe ↗A blink. A little curiosity.
A four-second silent Seedance test: the kitten blinks and tilts its head while its paws stay planted. Fine fur detail softens and the framing shifts slightly. Compare the source before trying your own pet.
Use this recipe ↗The road into the city
A high tracking shot follows an unbranded coupe along a wet coastal road. Near foliage and the guardrail move faster than the distant city. Four seconds, 720p, silent.
Use this recipe ↗Meet the moment
A camera ahead of an unbranded coupe tracks backward as the car approaches. Wet reflections and roadside objects establish depth. Four seconds, 720p, silent.
Use this recipe ↗A world beyond the bend
A tunnel and coastal skyline frame the next bend. The generated camera stays closer to the car than the wider crane reveal requested. Four seconds, 720p, silent.
Use this recipe ↗A clay fox wakes up.
Seedance 2.5 at 480p with audio on — the model family behind Jimeng’s video tools, run independently here. The audio is gentle background music.
Use this recipe ↗Why use Cicadas for Jimeng AI
Use the model family behind Jimeng AI, in English
Cicadas.ai is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by ByteDance or Jimeng (Dreamina). It runs ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 through a third-party API, giving you an English workflow instead of the Jimeng app itself.
Make 4- to 30-second Seedance 2.5 videos, sound optional
Pick text or image input, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds, 480p or 720p, and native audio on or off. The default is a 10-second 9:16 clip with audio on, and the exact credit quote shows before you submit.
Watch nine Seedance 2.5 examples first
Nine example clips from the same Seedance 2.5 model play on this page, covering text and single-image input with and without audio. Each reflects its own settings; results with other prompts or settings can differ.

Jimeng AI prompt ideas
Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.
“A fictional adult ink-wash painter brushes flowing strokes across rice paper in a sunlit studio, ink pooling and spreading across the page, slow overhead camera move, one continuous shot.”
“A quiet bamboo forest path in light rain, mist drifting between the stalks, slow forward camera push, natural ambient rain sound, one continuous shot.”
“A hand-thrown ceramic teapot pours tea into a cup on a worn wooden table, steam curling upward, warm afternoon light, locked camera, one continuous shot.”
