Food Recipe Video
Generated on PixelDojo with Seedance 2 Mini. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
A recipe video does not need a full cooking demonstration to be useful footage. One close, well lit shot of the finished dish in motion covers the opening frame, a cutaway, or a thumbnail. We generated the clip below with Seedance 2 Mini on August 26, 2026: 480p, 5 seconds, 5 credits, back in about 135 seconds. This page covers the prompt pattern and what a food-focused text-to-video prompt needs to name.
The 5 credit hero shot, steam and all

480p, 5 seconds, 5 credits, about 135 seconds turnaround on August 26, 2026.
How It Works
How we wrote and generated it, so you can repeat it:
Describe the dish like a stylist, then add one motion
List the ingredients and the plating detail the way a food photographer would, then add exactly one action. Our prompt named the ramen, the soft egg, scallions and chili oil, then added the chopsticks lifting noodles and steam curling upward.
Light it from one direction
Naming a single light source, moody window light in ours, keeps steam and reflections readable instead of flattening the shot under even, sourceless lighting.
Generate short and treat it as one shot in a longer edit
Our 5 second, 480p clip cost 5 credits. A full recipe video is several shots like this one cut together with narration or on-screen text added afterward, not a single long AI-generated take.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Food Recipe Video
What should a food video prompt actually describe?
Ingredients and plating detail, one motion, and one light source. Ours read: overhead shot of a steaming bowl of ramen with a soft egg, scallions and chili oil on a dark slate table, chopsticks lift a bundle of noodles as steam curls upward, moody window light, slow motion.
What does it cost?
Seedance 2 Mini prices by the second: 1 credit per second at 480p, 2 credits per second at 720p. Our 5 second clip at 480p came to 5 credits.
How long does it take?
About 135 seconds in our August 26, 2026 run. Turnaround moves with queue load, so treat that as a typical figure rather than a guarantee.
Can I animate a photo of the dish I already shot?
Yes. Seedance 2 Mini also accepts an image_url for image-to-video mode, so a real product or plating photo can be the starting point instead of a text description.
Does the clip come with sound?
Ours returned with an audio track already in the file, even though the prompt did not request narration or sound effects. Seedance 2 supports audio generation as part of the same call.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/seedance-2-mini/run with prompt, resolution, aspect_ratio and duration set to the values you want.
