Wake Up New Seedance + Qwen Dropped
New: Turn images into videos with sound
Shaun McCallum
January 12, 2026Two powerful new models just landed in Fenestra - Seedance 1.5 Pro (Video Generation) and Qwen Image Edit 2511 (Image Editing). Together they unlock a much smoother way to edit, animate, and bring your images to life with sound.
If you work with architectural concepts, design visuals, or mood-driven imagery, this update is a big one
Seedance 1.5 Pro
Seedance lets you turn a single still image into a short animated video with audio.
That means:
- Add motion to static renders
- Create atmospheric clips from one image
- Generate sound to match the scene
- Bring concepts to life for presentations or social content
You don’t need a full image pipeline. One generated image input is enough.
Qwen Image Edit 2511
Qwen makes image editing feel effortless. Just describe what you want in plain language.
You can:
- Change camera angles
- Adjust lighting or mood
- Refine details
- Explore different design directions
Why this combo works so well
Together, Seedance and Qwen make it easy to go from:
Still image → Edited view → Animated clip with audio
I used this workflow to create multiple views of a desert-based architectural concept and then turned one of them into a short video with sound. The whole process stayed inside Fenestra.
It’s ideal for:
Concept exploration
- Client presentations
- Social content
- Early-stage design storytelling
If you want to experiment with motion, atmosphere, and fast visual iteration, this is one of the smoothest workflows we’ve added so far!

Why Flux 2 Pro is becoming my favourite AI model
Create stylized images from your architectural designs using AI. Transform sketches, renders, or reference images into illustrated, cinematic, conceptual, or artistic visuals while keeping spatial intent and composition intact. Ideal for early-stage exploration, storytelling, competitions, and client presentations.
Forget Photoreal renderings. Create Sketches!
Photorealistic renders aren’t always right for early-stage design. With Fenestra, you can use AI to turn renders and models into loose pencil sketches, illustrations, and conceptual visuals using style reference images. This approach helps communicate intent, guide conversations, and get client buy-in without overwhelming them with realism too early.
