Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 – Open Seedance 1.0

Sign in to your VidAU dashboard. Click AI Image in the left navigation menu.
On the left sidebar, click Projects to view past work or start fresh. At the top of the workspace, open the model dropdown and select Seedance 1.0. You will now see the Seedance 1.0 header with the tag Better, cheaper and faster. The Prompt box and the Reference image panel appear on the page.
This is where every Seedance 1.0 image begins.

Step 2 — Write Your Prompt

The prompt box tells Seedance 1.0 what to create. Keep the wording simple and visual. Describe what the viewer should see, not how the image should “feel.” Focus on the subject, the background and the lighting. A clear sentence works better than long paragraphs. For example, a ceramic mug on a wooden counter with soft morning light and a slow camera slide” gives the model a clear scene to build. Once the idea is set, type it in and stop. Seedance 1.0 handles the rest.

Prompt Example:
Create a short clip of a ceramic mug candle placed on a marble counter under cool daylight. Keep the flame sharp with a light shimmer. Move the camera forward in a slow push to show the smooth ceramic surface and the clean label print. Add soft shadows on the counter. Keep the background simple with a light kitchen blur. Aim for a clean, high end product style suitable for store ads and social videos.

Step 3 — Upload a Reference Image

Below the prompt box, you can add a reference photo. This helps the model match your real product, brand colors or character design. If brand accuracy matters, upload the photo. If you want a free-style result, skip it. The moment the upload is done, Seedance 1.0links the prompt with your reference and prepares the visual settings.

Step 4 — Choose Your Aspect Ratio

This setting controls the shape of your final image. Pick 9:16 if the picture is for TikTok, Instagram Reels or mobile viewing. Pick 1:1 or 4:5 if you want a square or portrait feed post. Pick 16:9 for landscape layouts like YouTube thumbnails or website banners. Once you choose the ratio that matches where you will publish, Seedance 1.0 locks the frame to that format.

Step 5 — Review Credits and Generate

You will see the credit number under the aspect ratio. If everything looks correct, click Generate. Seedance 1.0 processes the image and shows a preview once it completes. Nothing else is needed. There is no editing, no setup and no waiting for long render times. If the result needs small adjustments, update the prompt and generate again. Each round gives a new polished version.

Best Practices for Results with Seedance 1.0

To harness the full power of Seedance 1.0, prompts should emphasize character, emotion, interaction, and narrative intent. Think like a director guiding actors and scenes.

Example High-Power Prompt

“A young woman, initially anxious and hesitant, sits at a cafe table, slowly picking up a forgotten locket. As she opens it, her expression shifts to one of gentle nostalgia and a knowing smile, her eyes welling slightly with warmth. A slow zoom-in emphasizes her changing emotions, capturing the intricate details of her face and the locket. Soft, melancholic lighting from the window, cinematic depth of field.”

Practical Tips

• Detail the Emotional Arc: Specify how emotions change throughout the short clip (e.g., “starts nervous, ends confident,” “shock turns to resolve”).
• Define Character Relationships: If multiple characters describe their interaction (e.g., “a warm hug between friends,” “a tense stare-down”).
• Guide the Camera’s Focus: Use camera terms to highlight what should be emphasized emotionally (e.g., “close-up on her tear-filled eye,” “tracking shot following their hopeful stride”).
• Use Active Verbs: Focus on what characters are doing and feeling to drive the motion and expression (e.g., “she clutches the note,” “he gazes intently”).
