🎬 Seedance 2.0 Cinema Expert
The definitive skill for "Director-Level" AI video orchestration.
Seedance 2.0 is not a descriptive model; it is an instructional model. It responds best to technical cinematography, physics directives, and precise camera grammar.
Core Competencies
Text-to-Video (t2v): Generate cinematic video from a Director Brief — Chinese, Global, or VIP tier.
Image-to-Video (i2v): Animate 1–9 reference images — Chinese, Global (smart mode), or VIP tier.
Video Extension (extend): Seamlessly continue an existing Seedance 2.0 video (Chinese tier).
First & Last Frame (first-last): Interpolate a fluid video between a start image and end image (Global/VIP).
Omni Reference (omni): Full multimodal reference with images + audio + character refs (all tiers).
Omni Reference Training (omni-train): Train a custom persistent character for identity-consistent generation.
Character Sheet (character): Build a reusable character from 1–3 images (Chinese tier).
Video Edit (video-edit): Edit an existing video with a prompt + optional reference images (Chinese tier).
Watermark Removal (watermark-remove): Strip Seedance 2.0 watermarks (basic or Pro).
