The landscape of AI video has officially shifted from “random generation” to “precision directing.” With the launch of Seedance 2.0 , creators now have access to a sophisticated Multimodal Reference Mode. This feature allows you to upload 1 to 5 assets—including images and videos—to define characters, props, clothing, and scenes with surgical precision.
By using the intuitive @ tagging system, you can command the AI to replicate specific movements, maintain character identity, or extend existing narratives. Here is how to master the new era of AI filmmaking.
⚠️ Important Compliance Notice: Realistic Face Policy
To ensure global safety standards and platform compliance, Seedance 2.0 does not currently support the upload of realistic human faces.
Automatic Interception: Any image or video containing clearly identifiable, real human faces will be automatically filtered by the system.
Creative Alternatives: We encourage the use of 3D avatars, stylized characters, or non-human subjects. This policy ensures a secure environment for all creators while protecting individual rights.
1. The “@” Command System: Directing with Precision
Seedance 2.0 treats text, images, video, and audio as primary control signals. By tagging your assets (e.g., @Image1, @Video1) in your prompts, you dictate exactly how different elements interact.
First & Last Frame Control: Specify the exact start and end of your shot.
Example: “@Image1 as the first frame, @Image2 as the last frame, imitating the dance in @Video1.”
Video Extension: Seamlessly lengthen an existing clip.
Example: “Extend @Video1 by 5 seconds.” (Note: Match your generation duration to the length of the new segment).
Seamless Transitions: Use descriptions to blend multiple videos.
Example: “Insert a scene between @Video1 and @Video2 showing a transition to a data-driven sci-fi space.”
2. Solving Professional Challenges: Real-World Use Cases
Seedance 2.0 was built to solve the industry’s toughest challenges: character drift, erratic motion, and lack of continuity. Below are four live examples of how to use multimodal inputs for professional results.
Case 1: Absolute Brand Consistency & Visual Integrity
In commercial production, losing product details or flickering logos is a dealbreaker. Seedance 2.0 locks in textures and typography with high stability.
Prompt Example:0-2 seconds: Quick four-way cut, showing red, pink, purple, and leopard print bows in sequence. Close-up on the satin luster and “chéri” brand lettering. Voiceover: “Chéri 자석 리본으로 무궁무진한 아름다움을 연출해 보세요!” 3-6 seconds: Close-up of the silver magnetic clasp “clicking” together, then gently pulling apart to show the smooth texture and convenience. Voiceover: “단 1초 만에 잠그고, 최고의 스타일을 완성하세요!” 7-12 seconds: Rapidly switch wearing scenarios: burgundy version on a coat collar for a professional vibe; pink version on a ponytail for a sweet look; purple version on a bag strap for a unique touch; leopard print on a blazer for a bold style. Voiceover: “코트, 가방, 헤어 액세서리까지, 다재다능하고 개성 넘치는 스타일을 완성하세요!” 13-15 seconds: Four bows displayed side by side with the brand name: “chéri, 당신에게 즉각적인 아름다움을 선사합니다!”
Case 2: Replicating Cinematic Camera Language
Describing complex camera paths in text is difficult. Uploading a video reference is effortless.
Prompt Example: @Image1 of the tablet as the subject, camera movement referencing @Video1, zooming into a close-up of the screen. After the camera rotates, the tablet flips to show the full view. The data stream on the screen is constantly changing, and the surrounding environment gradually transforms into a sci-fi data space.
Case 3: Creative Mimicry & Precise VFX Transitions
Stop guessing and start imitating. Whether it’s a mosaic shatter or a surreal liquid transition, if you have a reference, Seedance 2.0 can replicate the visual structure.
Prompt Example: Starting from the ceiling in @Image1, reference @Video1 for the puzzle-shattering transition effect. Replace the “BELIEVE” text with “Seedance,” following the font style in @Image2.
Case 4: Targeted Non-Destructive Editing
Sometimes a video is 90% perfect, but you want to modify a specific element or extend a few seconds without re-generating everything.
Prompt Example: Change the woman’s hairstyle in @Video1 to long red hair. The great white shark from @Image1 slowly surfaces halfway behind her.
Final Thoughts: From Prompting to Directing
Seedance 2.0 is designed for creators who care about the “How,” not just the “What.” By mastering the multimodal @-system, you move from being a passenger to being the director of your AI journey.
