No footage, no camera, no set. Describe the shot the way you would describe it to a cinematographer — subject, action, camera, light — and the model shoots it. Seedance 2.0 adds a synchronized audio track; Seedance 2.5 stretches a single take to thirty seconds; MiniMax H3 renders at 2K.

Describe the shot: subject, action, camera move, light. Two or three sentences beat one long list of keywords.

This model renders a synchronized audio track on every clip — there is nothing to switch on.

Made with this model

Every clip below was rendered here, on the settings shown under it. The caption is the exact prompt that produced it.

A ceramic pour-over kettle tips over a glass carafe and coffee falls in a thin dark ribbon; steam curls through a shaft of morning window light. Slow push-in, shallow depth of field, warm film grade.

Seedance 2.0 · 720p · 16:9 · 4s

A neon-lit ramen counter at night: steam rises off a fresh bowl as the chef slides it across the wood, reflections shifting in the window behind. Slow lateral dolly, shallow depth of field, cool blues against warm lamp light.

Seedance 2.5 · 720p · 16:9 · 4s

A lone red kayak cuts across a glassy alpine lake at dawn; mist lifts off the water and the mountains catch the first light. Slow aerial orbit, cinematic wide shot.

How text to video works here

  1. Write the shot

    Two or three sentences covering what is in frame, what moves, and how the camera behaves. Skip the keyword soup — these models read prose.

  2. Frame it

    Pick an aspect ratio for wherever the clip is going: 9:16 for vertical feeds, 16:9 for embeds and YouTube, 21:9 when you want it to feel like film.

  3. Render

    Four to fifteen seconds per clip. Progress streams live, and the finished MP4 downloads straight from the panel.

What separates a good prompt from a lucky one

Lead with the subject, not the style. “A ceramicist trimming a bowl” anchors the model; “cinematic, 8k, masterpiece” does not.

Describe one camera move and commit to it. Competing moves in one prompt produce a clip that cannot decide.

Say what time of day it is. It sets colour, contrast and shadow direction in a single word.

If you want sound, say what you hear. Seedance 2.0 scores the clip from the same prompt — ask for rain on a tin roof and you get rain on a tin roof.
