AI Reference to Video Generator

Reference to video is an advanced generation technique that goes beyond standard image-to-video or text-to-video. It allows you to supply multiple reference media files (images, videos, and audios) to serve as style, character identity, and motion guides for the final video output.

On our platform, the advanced Seedance 2.0 model supports full multimodal reference-to-video generation. It can process character sheets, keyframe images, motion guidance videos, and synchronized audio tracks to produce cohesive, high-fidelity cinematic output.

You can upload character references or outfits as reference images (up to 9 images). In your text prompt, describe how the character acts or moves, and the AI will reference the uploaded visuals to keep the character's facial features, hair, and costume consistent throughout the clip.

Reference videos act as motion templates. By uploading a video clip (up to 3 clips, total duration under 15 seconds), you can guide the AI to mimic camera movements (such as pans, tilts, or orbits) or structural movement of the subjects, transferring that motion directly to your reference character or scene.

Yes! Seedance 2.0 supports reference audio tracks. You can upload audio files (like speech, music, or environmental sound effects), and the AI will generate a synchronized video clip containing both high-fidelity visuals and matching audio.

New users receive free trial credits upon sign-up to explore all advanced generation tools. Because this model processes multiple large media inputs simultaneously, generations are compute-intensive and consume credits based on duration, resolution, and input types.

Reference-to-video clips can be generated from 4 up to 15 seconds long, depending on your selected settings. You can stitch multiple clips together in post-production to create longer cinematic stories.
