Let's talk about 3 ways to level up your Video Reference usage in Seedance 2.0....some may surprise you... > VFX and prompt articulation for footage editing > Bypassing video ref. real person face filters > Consistent vocal matching across Seedance generations 🧵👇

Pre Context: To begin, all is this is referring to the Prompt Template PDF to be used in conjunction with the Agentic Chat over on @AskVenice. To use this, drop this PDF document in the Agentic chat. Give the chat whatever reference image you're using, and then tell it what you would like to see in your prompt. The agent will read the instructions and write you a well-structured Seedance 2.0 prompt. You can download the PDF here:

1. VFX and Editing Footage I made this video only by using the input video and ref. image. The agent did not see my video. I roughly explained what was happening and told it the exact second that I wanted the action with the Kraken to happen. Be sure to use the language that you are editing the video and not continuing it.

2. Bypassing Real People Filters / Likeness As I was trying to edit this video of myself talking to the camera, my video kept getting rejected because I'm a real person with a real face. In Premiere Pro, I place these white lines over my video. I told the agent to start the prompt with "remove the white lines," and then continued my prompt. I got no rejections after that, and it put my face back together properly.

3. Consistent Voices and Vocal Tones Instead of using MP3 files, take a video file that has the voices on it that you want Seedance to use. Place a black frame on it in any video editor and use that video as your audio reference, but upload it as a video reference. Using this technique, I was able to keep consistent voices in my most recent reel between the old woman and the demon who had a lot of bickering back and forth throughout the three minutes.

Be sure to follow for more, and you can try all this out for yourself over on @AskVenice

so helpful 🙏🏼 been working through getting consistent vocals myself

Since you asked to share who created the black screen method, I think the first person to pioneer the black video voice reference was @MrDavids1 if I’m not mistaken. I remember him sharing it in the Dreamina CPP chat before the model was widely available to people. Since then it has been widely adopted as the meta as you affirmed. Great video btw!!

Thanks so much mate This will come in handy for me

I love Japanese voices too in your Anime videos

🙏

Thanks for the prompting tips and PDF. Very helpful for beginners making videos!

@0xHonz Thanks for helping

in after effect duplicate your video make a rectangle mask around your eyes move the mask to the upper right of the frame. return to the main layer invert the same mask so you have a black rectangle in stead of eyes. use this video as reference
