Seedance 2.0 Basic Usage Steps

1. Choose a Mode

○ First and Last Frame: Suitable when you only have one image and some ideas.

○ Universal Reference: Allows mixing images, videos, and audio together, with stronger functionality—recommended.

2. Upload Assets (Up to 12)

○ Up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio files each, with each file no longer than 15 seconds.

○ It's recommended to upload the most important style or rhythm assets first.

3. Write the Prompt (Key Step)

○ Use the @ symbol to specify assets. Type @ in the input box to see the list of uploaded files.

○ Examples:

■ @image1 is the main character, action references @video1.

■ Use @audio1 as the background music.

■ Completely mimic the camera work of @video2.

○ Formula: [Who/What] + [What to do] + [Where/Environment] + [Lighting/Style]

4. Generate and Adjust

○ Click Generate; if you're not satisfied with the result, you can retry.

○ You can add native sound effects or smooth out the motion in the footage.

○ Once done, just download it directly.

Parameter Settings

● Motion Bucket: A higher value means larger motion amplitude; a lower value means subtler motion.

● Aspect Ratio: 9:16 is suitable for TikTok, 16:9 is suitable for YouTube.

● Duration: It's recommended to start trying with 4–6 seconds.

Some Tips

● Writing Prompts: The more specific the description, the better—e.g., "sunset," "neon lights." You can also exclude things you don't want, such as "blurry" or "body distortion."

● Using Multiple Assets Well: Clearly tell the AI what each file is for, e.g., "reference the camera movement of this video." When there are many files, check that the @ names are correct.

● Maintaining Character Consistency: To keep a character looking the same across different videos, reuse the same face image and specify it in the prompt.

Here is an example:

prompt:

海报中的女生在不停的换装，服装参考@图片1@图片2的样式，手中提着@图片3的包，视频节奏参考@视频

The following video is a piece of rhythmic music and cannot be uploaded.
