1. Inspect the model

Open Video → Reference to Video. Our session kept Seedance 2.5 Multimodal Reference. The form says it can combine text, images, video and audio; supported file types, limits and the credit quote may differ by model or account.

AIAI Reference to Video form with Seedance 2.5 Multimodal Reference selected — Review the selected model before uploading. Select the image for full size.

2. Add an owned reference

Use the Add area to choose an image you own or have permission to use. We uploaded the existing 1024 × 1024 product-reference.webp. It became Image1, which the prompt can mention with @Image1. No new reference image was generated.

AIAI Reference to Video form after adding a product reference — The form is prepared with the owned reference. Select the image for full size.

3. Describe the motion

Separate what must stay recognizable from how the camera moves. Our prompt asks the product set to remain recognizable while the camera moves slowly, studio lighting stays steady, and scene cuts or added text are avoided.

Manually written AIAI Reference to Video prompt — The prompt was typed manually; Prompt Assistant was not used.

4. Review the video settings

Setting	Used here	Notes
Resolution	720P	Changed from 480P.
Aspect ratio	Auto	Kept.
Duration	5S	Kept.
Credit quote	440	Displayed quote only; initial quote was 215.

AIAI Reference to Video settings and Generate quote — The final settings and untouched Generate action.

5. Stop before Generate

Public Visibility was on and was observed without changing it. Generate 440 is a quote, not a charge from this tutorial. We did not click it, test an insufficient-balance submission, buy credits or inspect a result. The displayed balance remained 6.

Completed AIAI Reference to Video setup with no generation submitted — The completed setup. Gallery items are not results from this prompt.

Prepare your own reference video

Open Reference to Video on AIAI and follow these steps with your own image. You can stop after reviewing the quote.
