How to Use the @ Feature in Seedance 2.0

In Seedance 2.0, the @ symbol is the core of "multimodal reference." It helps you precisely control the details of video generation, such as specifying which image to use as the main character and which video to use as a camera movement reference.

Simply put, the role of @ is to connect uploaded assets with the text prompt, telling the ai exactly what to do.

Steps for Using @ in Seedance 2.0

1. Upload assets

Upload image, video, or audio files on the interface. It's best to give them memorable names, such as "MainCharacterFace" or "BackgroundMusic".

2. Type @

Enter the @ symbol in the prompt box.

3. Select a file

After typing @, a list will pop up showing the names of all uploaded files. Click the one you want to reference.

4. Specify the instruction

Combine @filename with the text description to form a clear instruction.

Common Usage Examples

● Specify the main character

@Image1 is a girl wearing a red dress.

● Action/camera movement reference

The girl's action follows @Video1, and the camera effect mimics @Video2.

● Add background music

Use @Audio1 as the background music.

● Character consistency

Let @Image1 and @Image2 have a conversation while keeping their facial features unchanged.

Tips for Using @ in Seedance 2.0

● Use clear naming

Use meaningful file names when uploading assets, such as HeroFace or CityStreet. This makes prompts easier to read and helps with accurate selection.

● Be specific in references

Always use the same @filename to refer to the same asset. If you switch back and forth, the AI may get confused.

● Combine controls

Seedance 2.0 supports inputting multiple types of assets at once. You can freely combine them — for example, specifying an image as the character, a video as the action reference, and an audio as the background music simultaneously.
