  2. 8 minStart and end frames, and reference clipsOn Text / Image to Video, a start frame begins the clip on your picture and an end frame makes it travel to a second. On Reference to Video, the model works from pictures, clips and sounds named @Image1, @Video1 and @Audio1, with an opening scene if you like.
  3. 4 minExtend, edit or upscale a clip you haveOn Video, open Edit a video, pick a model that works on a video and put one of your clips, or an upload, in its video slot. Carry it on from its end, change it the way your words say, or have a character move the way it moves. To make a clip sharper, upscale it in Edit & Enhance.

  5. 6 minWhich video model should I use?Seedance 2.0 is the default and takes frames, references and sound.

Add a recording as an audio ref and say in your prompt what it is for: a voice, a song or a sound effect. To lip-sync a face to your voiceover, use a talking model on a Creative Board.
