Prompt 2

SEEDANCE 2.0 · 4K · 9:16 VERTICAL · 15S · 5-SHOT SLOW-MOTION MONTAGE FORMAT: 15s / 9:16 vertical / cinematic romantic montage / dynamic cuts, rack-focus transitions, all in slow motion STYLE: Hollywood live-action cinema, ARRI Alexa LF, anamorphic lens, 35mm film grain, halation on highlights, professional color grading, golden-hour Mediterranean light, extremely shallow depth of field, dreamy defocus-to-focus pulls, realistic motion blur, photorealistic textures, real-world physics, no CGI feel. REFERENCES: Reference 1 = the bride. Preserve her exact face, skin tone, dark hair, black wayfarer sunglasses, veil, white plunging V-neck wedding dress, necklace and solitaire ring. No identity change. Reference 2 = the groom. Preserve his exact face, curly dark hair, black wayfarer sunglasses, black tuxedo, bow tie, white shirt and wedding band. No identity change. Reference 3 = previous video. This scene continues directly from its final frame: same ancient Greek colonnade, same golden light, same spinning embrace, same swirling white petals. Match environment, wardrobe and atmosphere exactly. VIDEO PROMPT: The scene opens mid-spin, exactly where Reference 3 ends — the groom holding the bride by the waist, her feet off the marble, both turning in slow motion among drifting white petals. Shot 1 (0-3s): Extreme close-up of the bride's face as she spins — frame starts defocused, then racks into crisp focus on her smile and sunglasses, petals blurring past in the foreground, veil floating. Shot 2 (3-5s): Macro close-ups of white petals tumbling through golden air, soft bokeh, one petal drifts across the lens and pulls the focus with it. Shot 3 (5-8s): Extreme close-up of the groom's face — defocus blooms into sharp focus on his smile and sunglasses, warm rim light on his curls, petals spiraling behind him. Shot 4 (8-11s): Perfect top-down bird's-eye view — the couple spinning at the center of the marble floor, her white dress fanning into a full circle, columns radiating around the frame edges, petals orbiting them like a slow galaxy. Shot 5 (11-15s): Final extreme wide from the side — a mountain-top colonnade against a vast golden sky, the couple tiny between the distant columns, still turning, mist drifting below, sun flaring softly through the pillars. Total: 15s / 5 shots / 9:16 SFX: no music; soft slowed wind, petals whispering past the lens, muffled dress swoosh, faint heartbeat, distant mountain breeze in the final wide, gentle fabric flutter. NEGATIVE PROMPT: no identity change, no face distortion, no sunglasses removal, no outfit change, no environment change, no text, no cartoon look, no cheap CGI, no plastic skin, no floating objects, no unrealistic physics, no warping, no morphing, no flat lighting, no harsh cuts mid-motion.

Prompt 1

SEEDANCE 2.0 · 4K · 9:16 VERTICAL · 15S · ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT

15s / 9:16 vertical / cinematic romantic one-shot / single continuous shot, no cuts

Hollywood live-action cinema, ARRI Alexa LF, anamorphic lens, 35mm film grain, halation on highlights, professional color grading, golden-hour Mediterranean light, shallow depth of field, realistic motion blur, photorealistic textures, real-world physics, no CGI feel.

Reference 1 = the bride. Preserve her exact face, skin tone, dark hair, black wayfarer sunglasses, veil, white plunging V-neck wedding dress, necklace, bracelet and solitaire ring. No identity change. Reference 2 = the groom. Preserve his exact face, curly dark hair, black wayfarer sunglasses, black tuxedo, bow tie, white shirt, wedding band and crystal whiskey glass. No identity change.

Single continuous shot, no cuts, no fades. Setting: a real ancient Greek realm — sunlit marble colonnade, tall Doric columns, drifting mist, distant temple ruins, warm dust particles in the air. 0-3s: The bride stands between columns. A white calla lily bouquet drops from above; she catches it mid-air with effortless swagger, then extends her fist toward the lens — camera pushes into an extreme macro close-up of her solitaire diamond ring, light refracting in the stone. 3-6s: Camera whips right in a fast FPV-drone slide, air rushing past, and lands on an extreme macro of the groom's fist and gold wedding band, then pulls back to reveal him; he takes a slow sip of whiskey, ice clinking. 6-11s: Camera keeps pulling back into a wide natural FPV glide. The couple turn toward each other from opposite ends of the colonnade and run toward each other in a dreamlike, fairytale rhythm — weaving past the columns, briefly disappearing behind marble pillars and reappearing, veil and dress flowing with real momentum, sunlight strobing between columns as they pass. 11-15s: As they are about to meet, camera rushes in low and RAMPS TO SLOW MOTION — dramatic low-angle hero framing against the columns and sky. The groom wraps one arm around her waist, lifts her feet off the marble and spins her; her dress fans out with real inertia while white flower petals swirl around them in the air, tumbling with true physics, backlit by golden sun.

One unbroken move — macro push-in, FPV whip right, macro, pull-back to wide glide, then a fast low approach settling into a slow-motion low-angle orbit around the spinning couple. No cuts, no zoom snaps, always continuous.

no music; soft wind through columns, fabric flutter, bouquet catch thump, ring close-up shimmer tone, whiskey ice clink, running footsteps on marble with echo, heartbeat swelling into slow motion, petals whispering in the air, dress swoosh on the spin.

no cuts, no identity change, no face distortion, no outfit change, no text, no letters, no captions, no cartoon look, no cheap CGI, no plastic skin, no floating objects, no unrealistic physics, no warping, no morphing, no flat lighting.

Everything begins with two ordinary wedding portraits — no location shoot, no drone, no VFX. Seedance 2.0 handles the cinematography; your job is the direction. Each act below shows the exact references to attach, the verbatim prompt to paste, and the finished result as a live preview.

ACT I · STEP 01 — SEEDANCE 2.0 IN INVIDEO

The One-Shot — Two Portraits Become a Scene

Open video generation in invideo and select Seedance 2.0. Set the output to 4K, vertical 9:16, 15 seconds. Attach the two wedding portraits in this order — the bride first, the groom second — so they match the prompt's Reference 1 and Reference 2 roles. The prompt is structured like a real call sheet: FORMAT, STYLE, locked REFERENCES, a beat-by-beat shot description, one continuous CAMERA move, an SFX pass, and a negative prompt that guards the identities.

Why it works: every physical anchor from the photos — the wayfarers, the veil, the plunging V-neck, the whiskey glass, even the solitaire ring — is named explicitly and locked with “No identity change.” Timing the beats in 3-to-5-second windows keeps Seedance's choreography tight, and demanding “one unbroken move” in both the shot description and the CAMERA line is what produces a genuine oner instead of hidden cuts.

ACT II · STEP 02 — SEEDANCE 2.0 IN INVIDEO

The Montage — Continuing From the Final Frame

Run Seedance 2.0 again with three references this time: the same two portraits, plus the finished Act I video attached as Reference 3. That third reference is the trick of this whole tutorial — the prompt orders the new scene to open mid-spin, exactly where the previous take ends, matching environment, wardrobe and atmosphere. The result is a second clip that cuts onto the first one seamlessly.

Why it works: where Act I forbids cuts, Act II embraces them — but every shot stays inside the world Reference 3 established, so the montage reads as coverage of the same moment rather than a new scene. The defocus-to-focus pulls written into Shots 1 and 3 give the edit built-in transitions, and repeating “no environment change” in the negative prompt keeps the colonnade, light and petals consistent across all five shots.

ACT III · STEP 03 — DAVINCI RESOLVE / CAPCUT

The Edit — One Invisible Cut, One Wedding Film

You now have two 15-second clips engineered to join in the middle of the same spin. The edit is a single match cut on motion: end Act I at its final frame, start Act II where the body position matches, and the audience never sees the seam. Here is the cut-montage workflow in both editors.

DAVINCI RESOLVE — THE MATCH CUT

  1. 1

    Set the timeline

    Create a vertical timeline — 2160 × 3840 (or 1080 × 1920), 24 fps — and drop Act I first, Act II right after it.

  2. 2

    Find the seam

    Park on the last frame of Act I. Step frame-by-frame through the head of Act II until the couple's pose matches, and trim everything before that frame.

  3. 3

    Cut on motion

    Keep the cut inside the spin, not at its start or end — a cut hidden in movement is invisible. Nudge ±2 frames until the rotation flows through.

  4. 4

    Match the look

    In the Color page, use a shot-match or a slight gain/warmth tweak so the golden light carries across the cut without a jump.

  5. 5

    Score and deliver

    Both prompts left SFX only — no music by design. Lay a romantic track underneath, keep the diegetic sounds low, and export 9:16 for Reels.

CAPCUT — THE SAME EDIT, MOBILE

  1. 1

    Stack the clips

    New project → import both clips → set the aspect ratio to 9:16 with Act I ahead of Act II.

  2. 2

    Trim to the pose

    Split the head of Act II and delete up to the frame where the spin position matches Act I's final frame.

  3. 3

    Refine the joint

    Zoom into the timeline and micro-trim both sides of the cut until the motion carries through — avoid adding any transition effect; the match cut is the transition.

  4. 4

    Grade and ship

    Apply one warm filter across both clips so they read as one film, add music over the SFX bed, then export at the highest available resolution.

Editor's note: resist slow-motion or speed-ramp effects at the seam — both clips are already choreographed in matching slow motion, and any added ramp will break the physics Seedance rendered. The strongest version of this film is the simplest one: two clips, one cut, one song.
