Create Cinematic AI Videos
Seedance 1.5 brings your ideas to life with smooth, cinematic video generation from text descriptions or reference images.
Text-to-Video Basics
Describe your scene with motion and camera cues:
- Motion verbs: "walking slowly", "waves crashing", "clouds drifting"
- Camera movements: "slow pan left", "dolly forward", "aerial tracking shot"
- Temporal cues: "time-lapse of sunset", "slow motion water splash"
Image-to-Video Workflow
- Generate a still image with Seedream 4.5 or upload your own.
- Switch to video generation mode.
- Add the image as reference.
- Describe the motion you want to see.
- Generate and preview your video clip.
Pro Tips for Better Videos
- Keep prompts focused on a single scene — don't try to describe an entire story.
- Use specific camera movement terms for predictable results.
- Start with simpler motions before attempting complex scenes.
- The image-to-video pipeline produces more consistent results than text-only.
Use Cases
- Social media reels and short-form content
- Product animations and demo videos
