Seedance 2.5 Official User Manual: A Hands-On Guide to Cinematic AI Video, with Copy-Paste Formulas and Case Studies

How high to push the parameters, where the four new entrances are, and which prompt formulas fit each of the seven scenario types — the official guide makes every step, from first launch to final cut, copy-ready.

At a Glance

Jimeng AI's international version has released the official Seedance 2.5 user manual: parameters, interface operations, and seven categories of prompt formulas with complete case studies from start to finish.
One formula is specifically for fixing the "AI face," and a single table covers 12 transition techniques — both are assets you can drop straight into your workflow.
All 16 standout features come with official demo videos, and most also include a side-by-side comparison with the previous generation, making the difference obvious.

⚑ Source material comes from the official "Seedance 2.5 User Guide" (English) released by Dreamina (Jimeng AI international version): prompts are recorded in their original English with Chinese translations; operational steps and feature descriptions are compiled from the original text; all demo videos are official outputs, re-encoded and self-hosted by this site. Where the original document's pairing of case materials and final videos is uncertain, captions avoid speculation.

Background

What Seedance 2.5 Is, and Why It Matters

ByteDance's Dreamina (Jimeng AI international version) has published the official Seedance 2.5 user manual: from upload limits and the four new interface entrances, to prompt formulas for seven scenario types, to official demos of 16 standout features — it takes you from first launch to a cinematic final cut. The formulas and case prompts are ready to copy, so this works as a genuine reference for anyone creating video with Jimeng AI.

For anyone who hasn't tried this model yet, here's the quick primer. Seedance 2.5 is the video generation model released by ByteDance's Seed team on July 31: it generates a single 30-second video in one pass, can combine up to 50 reference materials, and can also edit and extend existing videos. In China, it's available on Jimeng AI and Doubao Pro; the international entry point is the Dreamina this manual corresponds to. Our full launch breakdown with demo videos is here:

How Far Do the Limits Go? A Side-by-Side with 2.0

The upload limits have loosened considerably this generation. Seeing them next to 2.0 makes it instantly clear:

Asset Type	2.0 Limits	2.5 Limits
Images	Up to 9 per generation	Up to 30 per generation (each within 4K; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; each under 30MB)
Videos	Up to 3 clips, 15 seconds total	Up to 10 clips, 2-30 seconds each, 30 seconds total (mp4/mov, 480p-4K, each under 200MB)
Audio	Up to 3 clips, 15 seconds total	Up to 10 clips, 2-30 seconds each, 30 seconds total (wav/mp3, each under 15MB)
Audio only	Must include at least one image or video	Pure audio-driven generation supported

Output limits have also expanded: single generation duration went from 4-15 seconds to 4-30 seconds (97 to 721 frames), with output resolutions of 480p or 720p.

Those are the hard limits. The manual also provides a conservative "stability zone" recommendation table. Exceeding these still works, but officially it becomes a "gacha": generate a few times and pick the best one.

Scenario	Recommended Stability Zone
Number of subjects in a reference image	1-8 works best; 9-12 is possible but less stable
Number of subjects in reference audio/video	1-5 works best; 6-10 is possible but less stable
Length of a single subject audio/video clip	5-10 seconds works best; longer clips get less stable
Multiple angles of the same subject	For 1-5 subjects, both single and multi-angle work; above 5 subjects, prefer single angle. For multi-angle, split into separate images — multiple images with multiple angles are more stable than one image with multiple angles
Source footage length for video editing	Under 20 seconds works best
How many reference images for video editing	1-5 works best; 6-8 is possible but stability drops

Getting Started

The Four New Interface Entrances and How to Use Them

On the Dreamina generation screen, start with the basics: select AI Video, choose the Dreamina Seedance 2.5 model, then pick your aspect ratio, resolution, and duration. The mode menu now has four options: Omni Reference (multi-modal reference; spelled correctly in the interface, but the document text misspells it several times as "Onmi"), Smart Edit, Long Video, and First and last Frames. Smart Edit and Long Video are the new entrances this generation.

Basic settings: after selecting the model, switch modes from the menu; Smart Edit and Long Video are the new features.

Long Video: 30 to 180 Seconds in a Single Pass

Write your video script or prompt;
Open the mode dropdown (Omni Reference is likely the default) and select Long Video;
Click the clock icon in the toolbar, then drag the timeline or enter a number directly, choosing anywhere from 30 to 180 seconds;
Confirm your aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9), resolution (e.g., 720P+), and duration, then hit generate — you get a complete long video in one shot.

Select Long Video mode → drag the timeline to set 30-180 secondsClick to enlarge

Extend Video: Add More Run Time, and Chain It Endlessly

In your generation feed, find the video you want to extend and click the Extend Video icon below it (only available for videos under 30 seconds);
Click the clock icon, drag the timeline or enter a number to choose the extension length (4-30 seconds per extension);
Enter a prompt in the text box. It only affects the newly added segment; the existing footage stays as is. For example, with a 10-second original and a 5-second extension, a prompt like "the male lead looks at the camera after landing" only affects the final 5 seconds;
Hit generate and get the full video: original length plus extension.

Chain extension: as long as the current output stays under 30 seconds, you can extend it again, stacking as many times as you want. The extreme case: a 30-second original extended by 30 seconds, producing a 60-second video directly.

Select video → set extension length → enter a prompt for the new segment onlyClick to enlarge

10 seconds extended to 15, then to 20 — chain it all the way to 60 secondsClick to enlarge

The Smart Edit Trio: Text Edit, Marked Edit, Edit Video

If a specific part of the frame isn't working for you, or you want to add something new, these three entrances are the way:

Smart Edit: Select Smart Edit mode on the main screen, upload a video, and simply type what you want to change;
Edit with marks: After uploading a local video, this entrance lights up in the input box. A set of annotation tools appears under the preview — boxes, arrows, and anchor points — so you can circle the area to change directly on the frame (e.g., a red box around the boy's pants), then type your change request below ("change the boy's pants to black, keep it consistent across the whole video"), and hit ✅ to add it to the input box;
Edit Video: For already-generated videos, click the Video Edit icon for a second pass. The operation is the same as Edit with marks;
Once your marks are in, the input box will show time-stamped tags (e.g., ⏱️00:00 video frame annotation). Confirm everything and hit generate.

Smart Edit entry → upload video to unlock Edit with marks → open the annotation canvasClick to enlarge

For generated videos: select → box/arrow/anchor to mark the area → confirm timestamp → generate localized edits across the whole clipClick to enlarge

Clay Renderer Plugin: Straight from Maya/Blender to Render

An official plugin for 3D artists: after setting up your camera path in Maya or Blender, use the plugin to export a blockout video directly and upload it to the Dreamina web interface, the model references the blockout's actions and camera moves for high-quality rendering. Installation and usage are covered in a separate official document: [Dreamina] Seedance 2.5 Clay Renderer Plugin User Guide. For the writing side, see the blockout rendering section below.

Prompt Writing

The Basic Formula: Asset Description, Summary, Plot, Global Notes — Four Sections

The manual's core structure is a four-part framework:

Section	What to Write
Full Prompt = Asset Description + One-Sentence Summary + Specific Plot Description + Global Notes (closing)
Asset Description	Number your uploads in order and specify each one's role (which is the character, the voice, the action, the scene). Don't leave any out.
One-Sentence Summary	Subject + location + event + theme/style + special camera moves.
Specific Plot Description	Write along a timeline or story arc. For each shot or time block, include two types of descriptions: positive (frame content, camera moves, actions, dialogue, sound effects) and negative (what you don't want) (e.g., "no subtitles," "no BGM").
Global Notes (closing)	Re-emphasize elements that must stay consistent throughout: camera position, scene features, overall sound atmosphere, lighting; also repeat what you globally don't want (subtitles, background music).

The official example is a red-crowned crane wetland documentary, and the four-part structure is plain to see in the prompt:

Official Case · Red-Crowned Crane Wetland Documentary

Realistic nature documentary style, cinematic realistic lighting. In the morning mist, within a vast wetland reed bed @image1, an elegant red-crowned crane is spreading its wings and dancing. @image2 The red-crowned crane features snow-white feathers, a bright red crown, a slender and upright posture, and light, noble movements. The scene is a shallow wetland in autumn, with sparkling water, surrounded by golden reeds, duckweed, and aquatic plants. The out-of-focus background features distant morning mist and the rising sun. The camera uses a low-angle medium shot with a slight handheld feel, remaining generally steady and keeping the red-crowned crane in the center of the frame at all times.
0s-3s: A red-crowned crane stands quietly in the shallow water with an elegant posture. It slowly begins to unfold its broad black-and-white wings with gentle movements. The airflow from the flapping wings creates ripples on the water surface. The morning breeze blows, and sunlight slants in from the horizon, piercing through the mist to create a Tyndall effect (volumetric lighting).
3s-8s: The red-crowned crane leaps lightly on the water, its feet alternately tapping the surface, splashing crystal-clear water droplets. Its slender neck tilts backward with its beak pointing to the sky. Then, its body lands lightly, folding its wings to return to a standing posture. Its head elegantly looks around, letting out a clear, long call.
Low-angle, slight handheld camera feel, moving up and down slightly to follow the crane's jumping trajectory. Natural depth of field, with the foreground reeds slightly blurred. The main subject, the red-crowned crane, is in sharp focus, while the background morning mist and sunrise are softly blurred. Natural environmental sounds: flowing water, the powerful flapping of wings, and the crane's call. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, ethereal, and highly aesthetic.

Reference images: wetland reed scene + red-crowned crane subject on white background

Official output: the red-crowned crane documentary created with the four-part formula.

The Eight-Dimension Formula for Real Characters: Fixing the AI Face and the Twin Face Problem

When generating real characters, two failures are most common: it looks obviously AI, or multiple characters come out looking like "twins." The manual's fix is to break the character into eight dimensions and pin each one down in writing. Each dimension gets its own sub-formula, and animated characters can use the same framework.

The character assembly line: eight dimensions combine to make a character that doesn't look like AI

The Full Eight-Dimension Formula

Character = [Age/Race] + [Skin Color/Skin Texture] + [Facial Details] + [Eye/Soul] + [Hairstyle/Hair Color] + [Clothing/Clothing Texture] + [Body Type/Emotion/Temperament] + [Other Requirements] (if any)

30-Second Long Videos: One Defining Sentence Plus Three Modules

A 30-second video has many events and many shots. The manual's approach is "one defining sentence + three modules," with each handling its own section:

Part	What to Write
One Defining Sentence	The overall tone of the video, e.g., "29-second one-shot (ancient-costumed woman's riverside farewell)."
Module 1 · Reference Layer	Optional if no references are uploaded. Formula: Based on the uploaded [asset type], strictly maintain [……] consistency, strictly lock [……]. You can use @image/@video/@audio multiple times throughout; the more you name, the more precise the result.
Module 2 · Global Settings	Global world-building + anti-distortion. Six items: base environment & texture (time + place + atmosphere + emphasize real physical texture), visual style (cinematic/realistic/2D + depth of field + lighting), camera language (shot size/angle + detail), character styling (use the eight-dimension formula above or directly @reference), core performance (what the final film should emphasize), and negative prompts (sound, subtitles, behavior, likely-to-break points).
Module 3 · Timestamp Script	Split the long video into time slices. For each: [start-second to end-second] + [core stage/theme], [action/expression physical-layer instructions], [emotion analysis or camera direction] (explain the deeper intent behind the physical instructions to the AI). For cuts, use the transition formulas from the extension section.

Modules 2 and 3 each have official examples, both from the "riverside farewell" video:

Module 2 Example · Global Settings

[Global Scene Setting]Base Environment: Early morning by the river, with a blurred small boat in the background, a lonely farewell scene. The atmosphere is quiet and restrained.Visual Style: Cinematic, shallow depth of field (simple and blurred background), soft natural light.Camera Language: Consistently maintains a close-up shot of the woman, imitating the subjective POV of "him" standing directly opposite her. Subtle handheld camera movement (breathing effect), no fast cuts.
[Character Styling][Age / Ethnicity] 22-year-old East Asian woman, with a highly classical, gentle cinematic face.[Skin Tone / Texture] Cool-toned fair skin, revealing a delicate and moist texture, retaining realistic fine pores and natural skin texture.[Facial Features] Slender and elegant eyes (slightly moist/teary), eyebrows slightly relaxed, a delicate and straight nose bridge, full lips with a faint, gentle smile at the corners, and a soft jawline.[Eyes / Soul] Extremely affectionate and expressive gaze, eyes shimmering like spring water. Gentle and focused, revealing deep attachment and a hint of reluctance to part.[Hair Style / Color] Jet-black hair pinned into a casual yet elegant classical low bun, secured only by a plain jade hairpin. A few loose strands of black hair casually fall around her cheeks, gently swaying in the breeze.[Clothing / Texture] Wearing a minimalist, pure white traditional cross-collar dress (Hanfu style). The fabric is elegant silk or lightweight chiffon with a soft luster, slightly loosened at the collar.[Physique / Emotion / Aura] Slender figure with delicate narrow shoulders, exuding a gentle, graceful, and deeply affectionate classical romantic aura.
[Core Performance]Restrained and nuanced. Focus on capturing the shifting gaze, the rise and fall of her breathing, slight trembling of the lips, subtle movements of the brow, subtle changes in the nostrils, throat swallowing, and the natural process of a single tear sliding down her cheek.
[Negative Prompts / Restrictions]No exaggerated crying, no fast cuts, no large body movements, no generating extra dialogue or BGM, no runny nose, no premature dropping of tears.

Module 3 Example · Timestamped Emotion & Action Storyboard

[Emotion and Action Storyboard (0-29 Seconds Progression)]
Stage 1: 0-3s [Questioning] — Reluctant Waiting
Action/Expression: The camera focuses on her face. She looks directly into the lens (at "him" opposite her). There are no tears in her eyes yet, displaying a quietness that slowly sinks in. She looks at his face, her brows slightly furrowed, her lips slightly parted, and whispers softly: "Are you really leaving?"
Emotion Analysis: Direct gaze (Emotion: She is not bitterly complaining, but waiting for him to personally confirm an answer she already guessed). Soft whisper (Emotion: After the words fall, it feels as if many unspoken words remain stuck in her throat).
Stage 2: 3-10s [Resignation] — Swallowing the Bitterness
Action/Expression: Her gaze slowly shifts away from his face, looking toward the empty space beside him. Her eyelids droop, upper and lower eyelashes overlapping. The corners of her mouth slightly curl into a brief smile, which instantly fades. Her nostrils flare slightly as she takes a highly restrained, quiet breath, her chest rising and falling gently once.
Emotion Analysis: The smile (Emotion: A bitter smile of self-mockery and resignation; an "I knew it" kind of smile). The chest movement (Emotion: Through this action, it seems she is forcefully swallowing her grievances and sorrow back into her stomach).
Stage 3: 11-17s [Remembering] — The Final Engraving
Action/Expression: The camera slowly pushes in (slight zoom). She turns her gaze back to his face, her eyes slowly and carefully scanning his features. Her eye rims are now reddish, but she stubbornly holds back her tears, not letting them fall. Accompanied by a 0.5-second dead-silent pause in the middle, her lips twitch slightly then press together again, her jaw tightens, and her throat swallows slightly.
Emotion Analysis: Her gaze slowly scanning his face (Emotion: At this moment, her gaze is no longer just for bidding farewell, but to engrave and remember this person's appearance in her life for one last time).
Stage 4: 18-23s [Regret] — A Silent Sigh
Action/Expression: She lowers her eyes, and only then do the tears begin to fall. A single tear drops directly without warning, landing on her collar. She does not wipe it away, nor does she sob; she just quietly lets the tear slide down. When she looks up at him again, the emotion in her eyes has changed. Immediately after, her tightly knit brows slowly begin to relax. She shakes her head slightly (a microscopic movement, almost imperceptible).
Emotion Analysis: The change of emotion when looking up (Emotion: Her gaze shifts from trying to make him stay to profound regret, as if saying "We could have been so good together," but she leaves it unspoken). The relaxing of the brows and the slight head shake (The un-furrowing of her brows symbolizes a gradual inner release, while that tiny head shake is an instinctive, final sigh and denial of her helpless fate).
Stage 5: 24-29s [Letting Go] — Relieved Acceptance
Action/Expression: The camera pushes into an extreme close-up. She tries hard to form a gentle smile (very light, very soft, with no self-mockery). Just as the smile reaches the corners of her mouth, a second tear slides from the corner of her eye, past her nose, and stops at her lip. She doesn't cry out loud, she doesn't break down; she just quietly looks at him with tears in her eyes, and says in a barely audible but strongly steadied voice: "You can go." (When saying the word "go", there is an extremely faint tremble in her voice, but she forcefully suppresses the crying tone). After saying this, her smile freezes on her face, tears continue to slide down, and her gaze never wavers, still staring at "him" in front of the lens. The camera finally holds on her tearfully smiling face, her eyes filled with profound regret.
Emotion Analysis: The gentle smile (Emotion: Unlike the previous smile, this one is very light and soft, without self-mockery, only pure reluctance to part and the ultimate tenderness). She doesn't break down; instead, she uses extreme restraint to accomplish the final letting go and fulfillment.

[00:08 - 00:15] Shot 2: [Awakening and Touch] (Medium Close-up ➔ Close-up)Action / Physics Directives: Require a natural transition at the cut (no hard/abrupt cuts). Cut to a medium close-up of her face. A beam of morning light happens to hit her cheek. She frowns slightly and slowly opens her eyes (lake-green pupils). She sits up, looking around with innocent bewilderment. Then, the camera follows her gaze, cutting to a close-up of her hand: she extends a slender finger, and a glowing blue butterfly gently lands on her fingertip.Camera Subtext: Showcases the beautiful moment of life awakening. Movements must be extremely gentle and slow; her eyes filled with the pure innocence of first awakening.
[00:16 - 00:23] Shot 3: [Dance and Resonance] (Medium Shot Orbiting Tracking)Action / Physics Directives: Require a natural transition at the cut. The camera pulls back to a medium shot and begins a smooth 360-degree orbiting flight around her. She stands up lightly from the leaf, her toes lightly touching the air, floating as if weightless. As she rises and spins, her light chiffon skirt spreads out like water ripples. Swarms of glowing blue butterflies dance around her in droves, leaving trails of light.Camera Subtext: This is the action climax of the film. Focus on showcasing the environmental interaction and the extreme weightlessness of the flowing garments (cloth simulation must be perfect).
[00:24 - 00:30] Shot 4: [Grand World] (Low-Angle Shot ➔ Rapid High-Altitude Pull-out)Action / Physics Directives: Require a wipe transition (the screen is briefly obscured by a flock of flying butterflies, then revealed). The camera cuts to an extremely low-angle shot. The elf girl flies weightlessly upwards through the forest, heading towards a towering World Tree that reaches into the clouds. Immediately after, the camera rapidly pulls backward and upwards. The field of view instantly becomes infinitely vast: revealing the entire grand magical forest shrouded in morning mist, waterfalls, and glowing plants. The girl becomes a tiny glowing dot in the forest. The frame freezes on this epic, majestic wide shot.Camera Subtext: Conclude with an extreme contrast in perspective (from microscopic to ultimate grand scale), leaving the audience with infinite imagination about this massive magical world. Maximize the epic cinematic feel.

Official output: elf girl, cut version.

Sci-Fi Mecha Chase and Transformation

30-Second One-Shot (Sci-Fi Mecha Chase and Transformation)
[Global Setting]Base Environment & Texture: A cyberpunk-style futuristic cross-sea bridge in 2077. Heavy rain is pouring down, and the road surface is severely waterlogged. Emphasize extreme, realistic physical textures (rain reflections on metal surfaces, water splashed by tires, and the specular refraction of exhaust flames must strictly obey real-world physics).Visual Style: Hardcore sci-fi cinematic feel, high-contrast neon dark tones (cyber-pink and icy blue as primary colors), high-speed shutter (to clearly capture splashing raindrops and sparks).Camera Language: High-speed subjective drone POV, delivering a strong sense of velocity impact and the turbulence of cutting through airflow. One continuous shot.Subject Styling: A silver-and-black concept mecha motorcycle, extremely streamlined with a heavy-industry, heavily armored vibe. Its exhaust pipes are blasting eerie blue plasma flames.Core Performance (Action): Focus on the center-of-gravity shifts during high-speed driving, the physical friction/grip of the tires, and the heavy-industry mechanical aesthetics of precision gears interlocking tightly during mid-air transformation.[Negative Prompts]: No soft-body or mollusk-like twisting/clipping of the mecha structure during movement (must maintain metallic rigidity); no human entities; strictly remove irrelevant subtitles; force mute/no default BGM; avoid copyrighted IP elements like Transformers or Tron.
[Timestamp Storyboard]
[00:00 - 00:08] [Extreme Speed Drive] — Piercing the WindAction / Physics Directives: The camera skims tightly over the waterlogged road, following closely behind and to the side of the mecha motorcycle at extreme speed. The motorcycle races through the heavy rain. The rapidly spinning wide tires kick up massive water curtains several meters high. The blue plasma exhaust flames drag long light trails through the nighttime rain curtain.Camera Subtext: Conveys an extreme sense of speed to the AI, focusing on the physical interaction between the rain, puddle reflections, and engine flames.
[00:09 - 00:16] [Extreme Evasion] — Shift of GravityAction / Physics Directives: The camera instantly pulls up for a high-angle tilt-down shot (spatial perspective switch). A chain-explosion of abandoned vehicle wreckage suddenly appears as an obstacle ahead. The motorcycle leans extremely far over, almost touching the ground. The tires grind against the road, sparking dazzling orange friction sparks, executing a perfect, tight "S" curve to weave through the burning debris.Camera Subtext: Presents the shift in the center of gravity during high-speed maneuvering to showcase the gravity feedback and spark VFX of extreme tire-to-ground friction.
[00:17 - 00:24] [Mid-Air Reassembly] — Mechanical TransformationAction / Physics Directives: The mecha motorcycle charges off a broken section of the bridge, launching into the air. The camera leaps into the air with it, orbiting the subject. During hang time (slow-mo suspension), the motorcycle's armor rapidly flips, deconstructs, and reassembles. The wheels retract to become thrusters, and the chassis unfolds to extend steel limbs, instantly transforming from a motorcycle form into a heavily armored humanoid combat mecha.Camera Subtext: Showcases pure mechanical heavy-industry aesthetics to emphasize the precise interlocking and volumetric mass of the parts during assembly, strictly rejecting "noodle-like" soft-body transformation.
[00:25 - 00:30] [Heavy Landing] — Frozen PowerAction / Physics Directives: The camera plummets rapidly to a low-angle extreme close-up (in-your-face shot). The humanoid mecha lands heavily on the highway, dropping to one knee. The massive tonnage impact causes the bridge surface to shatter into a spider-web pattern. The concussive shockwave instantly blows away the surrounding rain curtain (exploding outward in a ring). The mecha slowly raises its head, its tactical eye-lights flashing glowing crimson red, staring directly into the camera as it freezes.Camera Subtext: Creates a visually explosive "Superhero Landing", conveying the mecha's terrifying weight and destructive power to the audience through the shattered road and expelled shockwave.

Official output: mecha chase and transformation.

Wuxia · Bamboo Forest Tavern Assassin

[Global Settings] (Worldview & Anti-Distortion)Base Environment & Texture: An open-air wild tavern in a secluded bamboo forest late at night. Emphasize top-tier anime (2D/Cel-shaded) high-quality animation texture. The falling trajectory of bamboo leaves and the ripples in the wine must strictly obey physical laws, possessing the elegant and ethereal flow unique to traditional Chinese aesthetic animation.Visual Style: Top-tier Chinese ancient wuxia anime (Cel-shaded realism / 2.5D rendering), with ink-wash rendered edges. High contrast intertwining of cold and warm lighting (the bleak, cold blue-white moonlight contrasting with the warm yellow candlelight on the tavern table).Camera Language: Employs razor-sharp montage editing and multiple types of seamless physical transitions. Extreme contrast between stillness and explosive motion.Character Styling: A 22-year-old young swordsman, with a handsome, sharply contoured face typical of Chinese anime. Sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, hair tied in a high ponytail with messy, loose strands framing his forehead. Wearing a sleek, white-based, black-edged cross-collar martial arts outfit (Jin-zhuang). A long sword in a black scabbard rests on the table.Core Performance: Focus on the speed of "one-hit kill" in top-tier wuxia, the swordsman's unhurried composure, and the poetic "blank space" (leaving things to the imagination) of Eastern aesthetics.[Negative Prompts]: No greasy 3D feel (strictly maintain pure anime 2D / cel-shaded style). No sluggish, messy combat movements or limb clipping/distortion. No subtitles or extra dialogue. Emphasis: The ink-wash effect must only appear AFTER 25 seconds triggered by the "click" sound, absolutely no premature appearance. The wine bowl must not appear until the full moon has completely faded out.
[Timestamp Storyboard (with explicit cut transitions)]
[00:00 - 00:04] Shot 1: [Drinking in the Still Night] (Match Cut Transition)Action / Physics Directives: The camera is a static high-angle tilt-up, focusing on a massive, bright full moon occupying the dead center of the frame. [Transition Execution]: The full moon in the sky gradually darkens and fades out. A perfectly identical-sized circular wine bowl (viewed from a direct top-down angle of the table) slowly emerges from the moon's position, completely replacing the moon. The wine bowl reflects specks of moonlight and ripples slightly. Requirement: The crossfade between the moon and the wine bowl must be natural; the bowl cannot appear before the moon has faded. After the transition, the camera slowly pulls back and lowers to eye level. The swordsman sits at the tavern table, slowly raising the bowl of wine, preparing to drink.Camera Subtext: An extremely quiet opening. Uses the perfect shape-matching and crossfade between the "bright moon" and the "wine bowl" to create the cold, solitary poetic imagery of wuxia: "The moon reflects in the cup, raising the cup to toast the moon."
[00:05 - 00:10] Shot 2: [Hidden Murderous Intent] (Zoom-in Close-up Transition)Action / Physics Directives: The swordsman's movement pauses slightly, his gaze suddenly turning razor-sharp. [Transition Execution]: The camera pushes forward at extreme speed, infinitely zooming into the swordsman's eye until his pupil occupies the entire screen. The frame seamlessly expands from inside the pupil, transforming into the grand scene reflected within: high above the bamboo forest, an assassin in black clothes, holding a short blade in a reverse grip, dives straight at the camera like an eagle hunting prey.Camera Subtext: Shows the swordsman's extreme alertness. The "Matryoshka-style" eyeball zoom transitions the microscopic eye close-up instantly into the crisis of an impending attack.
[00:11 - 00:18] Shot 3: [Drawing the Sword / Clashing] (Pull-out & Whip Pan Transition)Action / Physics Directives: Connecting to the previous frame, the camera rapidly pulls back out from the assassin reflected in the swordsman's eye, quickly retreating to a full-body shot of the swordsman. The swordsman leaps from his seat and draws his sword. [Transition Execution]: The camera follows the swordsman's sword-swinging arm and whips violently to the right of the frame (Whip Pan), causing severe horizontal motion blur across the entire screen. Within this horizontal blur, the scene instantly shifts to mid-air. The camera stops whipping and freezes: in the exact center of the frame, the swordsman's long sword and the assassin's short blade clash forcefully. A massive orange spark visual effect and a ring-shaped shockwave erupt at the point of weapon intersection.Camera Subtext: Uses rapid pull-outs and horizontal whip pans to connect two different framing shots of combat, giving the audience the visual shock of "speed too fast for the naked eye to catch."
[00:19 - 00:24] Shot 4: [One-Hit Kill] (Wipe/Mask Transition)Action / Physics Directives: The two pass by each other in mid-air. [Transition Execution]: The airflow from the clash sweeps up a storm of bamboo leaves. One giant, emerald-green bamboo leaf flies horizontally across the lens, completely masking the camera and causing a full-screen blackout. Immediately after, from the blackout, the bamboo leaf drifts downward away from the lens, revealing that the frame has already cut to a ground-level shot: in the background, the assassin falls limply to the ground. In the foreground, the swordsman, back facing the camera, slowly sheathes his long sword.Camera Subtext: A classic wuxia "leaving blank space" technique. It avoids directly showing the bloody kill, instead using a bamboo leaf to mask the lens, completing the spatial leap and the pronouncement of life and death with ultimate elegance.
[00:25 - 00:30] Shot 5: [Lingering Echoes] (Ink-Wash Bleed Transition)Action / Physics Directives: The visual cue is the "click" sound of the swordsman fully sheathing his sword. Require an ink-wash transition exactly at the "click" cut (no hard cuts). The entire frame of the bamboo forest and the fallen assassin suddenly acts like a drop of thick ink falling into water—rapidly melting into a black-and-white ink-wash painting, bleeding and diffusing outward. The frame completely freezes and ends in this splashed-ink landscape imagery.Camera Subtext: The sublimation of the artistic conception. The ink-wash transition echoes the supreme aesthetics of traditional Chinese style anime, leaving a long, lingering poetic charm.

Official output: bamboo forest wuxia duel.

Glacier Crossing to Deep Sea Illusion

30-Second One-Shot (Glacier Crossing to Deep Sea Illusion)
[Global Setting]Base Environment & Texture: Polar glaciers and the deep ocean. Emphasize "National Geographic" level extreme physical realism. The refraction of glacial meltwater and underwater light dappling (Tyndall effect / volumetric lighting) must strictly obey real-world optical physics.Visual Style: Epic and grandiose narrative landscape, 8K ultra-clear, cool color palette (transitioning from icy blue to deep abyssal blue).Camera Language: A globally smooth, slow, and highly epic "One-Shot" continuous forward drone push. Absolutely no hard cuts or editing transitions.Subject & Core Performance: (No specific character subjects). The core performance lies in the majestic display of the natural environment, the time-lapse changes of sunlight and shadow, and the seamless spatial transition from above water to underwater.[Negative Prompts]: No humans or artificial vehicles (except for the shipwreck). No flickering, stuttering, or visual tearing during the water surface transition. Strictly remove subtitles and default BGM.
[Timestamp Storyboard]
[00:00 - 00:09] [Majestic Polar] — Glacier CruiseAction / Physics Directives: The camera flies forward slowly and smoothly through a massive blue glacial rift valley. Sunlight slants down from the top of the ice valley, refracting blinding specular highlights off the sharp ice surfaces. Occasionally, tiny chunks of ice peel off the cliffs and plummet into the bottomless sea below.Camera Subtext: Creates an extremely pure, grand, and awe-inspiring atmosphere of polar nature.
[00:10 - 00:15] [Passage of Time] — Shifting Light and ShadowsAction / Physics Directives: The camera's forward pushing speed remains constant, but the footage exhibits a "time-lapse photography" effect. Within 5 seconds, the sky rapidly shifts from broad daylight to a brilliant purple sunset, then quickly darkens into a star-studded polar night, with the Aurora Borealis dancing across the sky.Camera Subtext: Uses the rapid cycle of light and shadow to show the passage of time over the glacier, building visual tension for the upcoming transition.
[00:16 - 00:21] [Seamless Crossing] — Diving into Deep BlueAction / Physics Directives: The camera angle suddenly tilts downward and plunges straight into the pitch-black, freezing seawater below (triggering a water-penetration transition). The screen is instantly filled with countless white bubbles rolling upward. Then, the view suddenly clears, entering the deep blue underwater world. Sunlight pierces through the surface, forming sacred "God rays" (Tyndall effect / volumetric lighting).Camera Subtext: This is the most stunning physical transition of the entire film; it must ensure the physical sensation of resistance and the realistic fluid dynamics feedback of the bubbles the moment the camera enters the water.
[00:22 - 00:30] [Underwater Ruins] — The Slumbering Giant ShipAction / Physics Directives: The camera continues to glide forward through the abyssal depths. At the end of the Tyndall light beams, the massive remains of a medieval wooden shipwreck lie quietly on the sandy ocean floor. A few glowing, translucent bioluminescent jellyfish slowly swim past the lens. The camera comes to a halt, focusing on the shipwreck's barnacle-covered giant figurehead, and the frame freezes amidst the deep, dark blue water ripples.Camera Subtext: Concludes with extreme tranquility and mystery. The details of the shipwreck and the bioluminescent jellyfish create a strong chiaroscuro (light and dark contrast).

Official output: glacier to deep sea one-shot.

Regency-Era Ballroom

[Global Scene Setting]Base Environment: A grand manor ballroom in Regency-era England (early 19th century). A massive crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, with hundreds of candles emitting a warm yellow glow. Emphasize extreme physical realism and a luxurious ballroom atmosphere.Visual Style: Classic BBC Period Drama style. Primary color palette of warm gold, ivory white, and deep black. High contrast candle-lit illumination, film grain texture.Camera Language: Extremely dramatic cinematic language, including Rack Focus, foreground physical mask seamless transitions, and highly immersive Slow Motion dolly-in shots.Audio & BGM Design: The overall tone is a classical orchestral waltz. The musical emotion must match the camera, progressing from "elegant and restrained social ambient sound" to "extreme fervor after the world is stripped away", synchronized with character movements and SFX.
Character Styling (Female Lead):[Age / Ethnicity] 20-year-old British woman, with classic British bone structure.[Skin Tone / Texture] Cool-toned fair skin, revealing a delicate and moist texture, retaining realistic fine pores and natural skin texture.[Facial Features] Dark brown almond-shaped eyes, high straight nose bridge, a hint of stubbornness at the corners of her mouth, and a soft jawline.[Eyes / Soul] Her gaze shifts from defensive scrutiny to deep immersion. Deep, focused eyes revealing suppressed attachment.[Hair Style / Color] Dark brown long hair pinned into a classical chignon at the back of her head, with a few lively curled tendrils falling around her cheeks, swaying slightly with her movements.[Clothing / Texture] Wearing an Empire waist ivory white silk gown. The fabric reflects a faint candle glow. She wears white silk opera gloves reaching past her elbows.[Physique / Emotion / Aura] Slender and upright posture, graceful demeanor. Exudes an independent, intelligent, and romantic aura, heavily suppressing her emotions beneath extreme restraint.
Character Styling (Male Lead):[Age / Ethnicity] 26-year-old British man, with an angular, cold, aristocratic face.[Skin Tone / Texture] Cool-toned fair skin, revealing a slightly pale, high-intelligence texture, retaining realistic fine pores and natural skin texture.[Facial Features] Deep-set eyes, slightly furrowed brows, a high, restrained nose bridge, and a jawline sharply defined as if carved by a knife.[Eyes / Soul] Deep, cold, focused, and highly aggressive gaze, as if seeing right through her, revealing inevitable fervor and deep affection.[Hair Style / Color] Pure black short hair, meticulously combed with sharp edges.[Clothing / Texture] An extremely well-fitted, deep black, deep V-neck tailcoat made of stiff, premium heavy wool, paired with a crisp pure white shirt and a highly intricately tied pure white cravat.[Physique / Emotion / Aura] Broad and upright skeletal frame, wide shoulders. Exudes an arrogant and restrained, yet incredibly tense masculine oppressive presence.
Core Performance: Showcasing "hidden emotional undercurrents beneath extreme restraint." Focus on the male lead's slight Adam's apple movement and locked gaze, and the female lead's chest heaving due to rapid breathing.[Negative Prompts]: No modern hairstyles or zippered clothing, no modern lighting, no harsh jump cuts, no generated spoken dialogue, no fabrics floating out of thin air, no identical clones in the background.
[Timestamp Storyboard]
[00:00 - 00:06] Shot 1: [Rack Focus & Crane Down]Emotional Subtext: A precise locking of gazes cutting through the noisy crowd, the descent of fate.Audio Design: BGM is a melodious classical waltz with spatial reverb, mixed with the noisy ambient sound of guests softly chatting. When the focus instantly sharpens, the ambient sound suddenly drops, and the main melody of the waltz becomes sharp and clear.Action / Physics Directives: The camera initially starts at a high angle, looking diagonally downward (High Angle Shot), with the frame out of focus. A small section in the right foreground is a massive crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, its warm-glowing crystal pendants occupying the upper right corner of the screen. The rest of the frame shows blurred figures of the male and female leads from a top-down perspective. [Transition Execution]: The camera executes an extreme Rack Focus. The foreground crystal chandelier instantly blurs out of focus, while the male and female leads in the lower background instantly become crystal clear. Immediately, the camera executes a Crane Down movement, smoothly and rapidly dropping from high above to an eye-level perspective, displaying the leads from the knees up (Medium Shot). At this moment, the male lead stands before the female lead, elegantly extending his right hand. The female lead raises her eyes, her gaze carrying scrutiny.
[00:07 - 00:13] Shot 2: [Foreground Mask Transition]Emotional Subtext: Fingertips touch, joining the game together.Audio Design: The exact moment the female lead places her hand in his, the music hits a heavy downbeat. Accompanied by the heavy silk friction SFX of a white skirt swooshing past the lens, the BGM tempo suddenly accelerates, and the orchestral section fully opens up.Action / Physics Directives: Continuing the medium shot from the previous frame, the female lead gently places her hand in the male lead's palm. [Transition Execution]: At this moment, a pair of joyfully dancing guests (a gentleman and a lady) holding each other tightly happen to spin rapidly past the lens (the camera is in a medium shot, and this dancing couple dances extremely close to the lens, showing only their waists and lower bodies). In the instant of their spin, the lady's white skirt sweeps horizontally across the lens, completely masking the frame and turning the entire screen pure white for a split second. When the white skirt leaves the camera's field of view, the camera has seamlessly transitioned to a Full Shot of the center of the dance floor, where the male and female leads are gracefully dancing together. Requirement: The other dancing guests in the background must be widely spaced (dancing in pairs), maintaining a spacious feel. The surrounding people's clothing colors (e.g., interwoven dark red, dark green, deep blue), hairstyles, and facial features must all be distinct. Their dancing synchronization should be inconsistent, creating a relaxed, realistic atmosphere and presenting genuine crowd diversity.
[00:14 - 00:20] Shot 3: [Slow Motion Dolly-In & Bokeh Defocus]Emotional Subtext: Emotions lose control, time stands still, and the world is reduced to just each other.Audio Design: As the camera pushes in, the gorgeous waltz and the noisy dance floor are instantly stripped away, creating a strong "tinnitus effect" (underwater muffled sound effect). The BGM strips away all symphonic instruments, leaving only a highly tense solo cello and a "thump, thump" bass drum beat resembling a violent heartbeat.Action / Physics Directives: [Transition Execution]: Connecting to the full shot of the previous frame, the camera begins a smooth, constant-speed forward push (Dolly In) toward the male and female leads, while the footage enters extreme Slow Motion. As the camera continuously draws closer, the male and female leads are magnified from a full shot to an extreme close-up two-shot. During this process, the depth of field rapidly becomes extremely shallow (Shallow Depth of Field). The background ballroom and other guests completely blur out, transforming into massive, flickering, warm yellow Bokeh light spots. In the slow-motion close-up, the male lead's eyes become deeply affectionate, staring fixedly at the female lead, his Adam's apple rolling. The female lead's chest heaves with rapid breathing, appearing somewhat shy. Freeze frame. As the heartbeat drum reaches its climax, the screen cuts to black, and the music abruptly stops.

Official output: the Regency ballroom.
