Draft Reference-Led Video Clips with Seedance 2

Use Seedance 2 on Ezier for prompt, first-frame, reference, and audio-aware video drafts. Choose Pro or Fast, attach supported inputs, check credits, then generate a clip you can judge quickly.

Turn a reference into a video direction

Use Seedance 2 when the clip starts from more than a text prompt: a first frame, a reference look, a source input, or an audio cue that should shape the motion.

Prompt example

Create a 6-second cinematic fantasy transformation video. Start on a quiet subway platform at night with a woman in a silver raincoat, then let the floor reflections ripple into an underwater crystal tunnel. Sync each wave of transformation to a distant bass beat, keep the face consistent, and end on one clean final frame.

How to create a Seedance 2 video draft

  1. 01

    Choose the Seedance model

    Open Select Model and choose the Seedance option that fits the job. Use Seedance 2 Pro when references, audio, or scene detail need more direction; use Fast when you mainly need quick comparisons.

  2. 02

    Name the input and motion goal

    Start the prompt with the input type: text-to-video draft, first-frame animation, reference-led scene, or audio-aware clip. Then add the subject, action, timing, camera movement, and ending frame.

  3. 03

    Attach references when supported

    Use the upload control when the selected Seedance option accepts source images, reference material, or audio. If no upload control appears, describe the look, motion, and sound cue directly in the prompt.

  4. 04

    Check credits, then review the clip

    The Generate button shows the credit estimate before submission. After generation, inspect subject stability, scene continuity, camera movement, audio fit, and whether the ending frame supports the next edit.

What Seedance 2 needs from the brief

A stronger Seedance prompt tells the model where the input comes from, what should move, what should stay recognizable, and how sound or timing should guide the scene.

Miniature film set with a camera slider and ghosted motion positions for planning a video draft.

Draft motion before polishing the clip

For early passes, keep the brief compact: subject, action, camera move, duration, and the reason you are testing the scene. A clear draft is easier to compare than a crowded prompt.

Use references to protect the core idea

When uploads are available, use references to protect product shape, lighting, character direction, or scene context. Then spend the prompt on what should move and what should stay stable.

Cafe counter scene with espresso steam, coffee cups, and a small speaker as visible sound sources.

Plan audio and motion together

Audio-aware generation works better when sound has a visible source: footsteps, room tone, a music beat, machine hum, or dialogue timing. Tie the sound to action in the frame so the clip feels intentional.

Seedance 2 settings worth checking

Before generating, confirm the Seedance model, upload availability, and the credit estimate. Those choices decide whether the next pass should be a quick comparison or a more directed clip.

Pro / Fast
Seedance 2 choicesUse Pro when the clip needs richer reference or audio direction. Use Fast when you want to compare concepts before committing to a more deliberate pass.
Audio
Audio-capable directionMention ambience, effects, timing, or beat when sound changes how the viewer reads the action. Tie audio to visible motion instead of adding it as decoration.
60-120s
Generation time estimateFast is the quicker exploration path; Pro is the more directed pass. Use the selected model and credit estimate as the final check before submitting.

Write one movement goal

A short video draft should not carry every idea. Use one primary movement goal: reveal, follow, orbit, drift, transform, or one timed action.

Keep references purposeful

Attach references when they protect the subject, style, or source frame. Skip unrelated inspiration if the scene only needs one stable visual direction.

Mention sound as a scene cue

Use audio notes like soft footsteps, hinge clicks, room tone, crowd ambience, or a steady beat. Avoid asking for generic cinematic audio without a visible source.

Review before refining

Check subject stability, camera movement, timing, and audio fit before spending credits on another pass. Refine the strongest direction, not every draft.
