Prompting for Seedance 2.0 tip It doesn't have to be complex to give good results. You can get surprisingly far with a good reference image + a simple narrative prompt. In this video, i combined 2 Seedance 2.0 generations (prompts below): Part 1: "an animator is struggling to come up with ideas. it's driving him made. he throws out the drawing. tries again. pulls his beard. starts over. paper thrown into trash can. comedy. animation style. multi-scene. high end animation." Part 2 (giving it part 1 video as reference) "continue this video. after struggling to come up with a concept for a character, the artist take a deep breath and say to him self to focus harold. then he draws a beautiful and cool badass princess with a gun. he holds it up proud and whispers that's it. comedy. animation style. multi-scene. high end animation."

Seedance 2 is out globally on Freepik! 🎸 And now you got to learn how to prompt for it. So I went ahead and made a Spaces workflow for you - link below. And here's a prompt for you to kick off: [STYLE] Ultra-high detail Pixar-quality cinematic animation, 8K, soft global illumination, individual hair and fur strands, realistic fabric simulation, shallow depth of field, warm cozy lighting [FORMAT] 16:9, cinematic multi-shot scene, slow tension build [SCENE] Cozy bedroom at night with strong 80s personality, colorful retro posters on walls, desk with glowing computer, warm lamp. [CHARACTERS] A young man with short dense curly blonde hair forming soft rounded clumps, pale skin, slightly tired blue eyes, wearing a black hoodie A golden retriever with thick light golden fur and expressive eyes. [CAMERA SYSTEM] Smooth cinematic camera, slow push-ins, medium and close shots, no jitter. A scene showing the guy coding. The dog wakes up from some noise. the guy asks what's up. the dog walk to across the room to a closed closet door. noise coming from inside. the guy walks up and gets ready to open the door and calms the dog.

Here's how we made a 1-minute sequence of "The long road back". An animation short-film we've done at Magnific Studios. The process was roughly: - We started with reference images of the boy (Nilo), dog (Pip), the witch and witch house. Krea 2 image model, Nana Banana Pro were heavily used in reference image generation. - The video model was Seedance 2 generations. 15 seconds and with prompts asking for different shots. We basically prompted for 'scenes' - not shots. Trying to generate stand-alone shots and then editing together gives too many problems with continuity. - For every additional 15 second video (we needed at least 4), we would provide the last 5 seconds of the previous video as reference to Seedance 2 + the original reference images. Then in the prompt, ask for continuing the video + prompting for the next part of the story. This proved very productive. - We fixed inconsistencies in many shots by surgically extract the few problematic sections. Then edit 1 frame using Nano Banana. And then regenerating the sequences using this new reference image and Seedance 2. Two examples. The doorknob changed place and the door behind the dog was closed even after the witch stepped out. - All music was generated using Elevenlabs music generator. 3 seperate pieces of music. - All editing and color grading was done in Davinci Resolve. Everything gen AI above was done using Magnific

How to extend videos using Seedance 2.0 in 3 easy steps 🦄 1. Generate video 1 (e.g. 15 seconds). 2. Use video 1 as a reference when generating video 2. 3. In the prompt for video two, start with "Continue this video". Both videos should have reference images of your characters. Here's a 30 second clip made with two 15 second generations. Workflow in comments below.

Here's how to do a bit of VFX work using Seedance 2: If you generate with Seedance 2 you often get a great shot but unfortunately with one or more minor artefacts. Instead of discarding the generation, you can actually edit the video using Seedance 2. In my case it i had to remove a character and I did this using simply as the prompt and using the original video as reference: "Remove boy from video". I then regenerated the missing detail (the boy) using an isolated version of the boy that I removed. And then animated using Seedance 2: "the boy runs sideways and stops. white background. he stays in the center of the screen." In the tutorial below, I'll show how I got rid of an artefact in a shot I liked, and used good old compositing to combine a two videos. As always I'll share the link to the Space below.

I gave Happy Horse from Alibaba a spin to make this cinematic trailer. Grab my Magnific Spaces workflow in the comments below. A few things I noticed after a few days of testing: - Reference images work like they do in Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0. Drop in characters, locations, objects, and you can build much more dynamic shots than start/end frames allow. - Audio is clean. English dialogue comes out clear. If you don't want a soundtrack, a simple "no music" in the prompt gives you SFX only. - 1080p looks great but tends toward sharp edges. I usually generate at 720p and upscale with Magnific Video Upscaler. - Got surprisingly far with simple prompts. - Happy Horse is around 75% of the price of Seedance 2 at 1080p. Fun trivia: "Ma" means horse in Chinese, which also happens to be Jack Ma's last name. Make of that what you will. Props to the team at Alibaba Cloud team!

Create stunning cinematic videos using Kling 3.0 Omni, character sheets and multi-shot prompts. Here's how ... Kling 3.0 Omni can take up to 7 reference images. Working with a character sheet and passing it to Kling along with the environment and multishot prompts, allows you to quickly put cinematic videos together. Example prompt: cinematic. action movie. VFX. shot 1: close up of the hooded character. It's night. his eyes glow. he hears wolves in the distance and looks around and starts running. shot 2: full body shot of the character running. he looks over his shoulders. shot 3: we see a wolf running through the forest. it's hungry. shot 4:the character is stopped by a pack of wolves. shot 5: he fights the wolves with his stick.

Google Nano Banana and Bytedance Seedance are insanely powerful image generators. The downside though: their outputs often have noticeable grain. Sometimes it even forms repeating patterns (like diagonal lines). It's subtle when zoomed in, but a real headache when upscaling

I know we are all excited about Sora 2, but don't sleep on the other models. Runway Aleph is a powerful tool as you can essentially control AI generated characters using videos recorded with your phone. And it's now on Freepik 🔥 To use Runway Aleph on Freepik, head to the new clip editor. Then pick the Aleph model from the menu (or leave it on Auto). Add a prompt and hit generate. All covered in the short tutorial below.
