One-minute story planning
Turn a script into one finished video for Shorts, ads, and explainers
A good one-minute video needs a clear beginning, development, and payoff. AI Long Video divides that story into two connected 30-second scenes, keeps the visual and audio direction consistent, and delivers one finished MP4.
Real character-motion result
Public recreation prompt
Two dancers perform a synchronized step on a bright beach, natural fabric movement, gentle handheld tracking, warm afternoon light, joyful campaign-film energy, consistent faces.
This 10.88-second clip is a character-motion reference, not a complete one-minute video or a demonstration of continuity between scenes. The text is a public recreation prompt rather than the original production prompt.
Write the audience, problem, change, and final action in one sentence before generating. For example: ‘A busy designer discovers a faster way to turn a sketch into a client-ready product film, then invites viewers to try the workflow.’ This sentence is the continuity anchor for both scenes.
Use scene one for the hook and problem or desire, then use scene two for the demonstration or change and the resolution. Give each 30-second scene one primary story arc; dialogue, captions, or voice-over can carry details that would overload the visuals.
Copy this structure into your notes before opening Studio. It is a manual planning aid, not an automatic storyboard generator. The two time ranges describe narrative targets; they do not guarantee frame-exact action timing.
Teaching example only: this is an illustrative plan, not a rendered video or a customer result. A maker in a blue apron turns a handmade cream-colored cup toward the light, then places it beside the matching pieces on the same workbench.
Create a short continuity block and repeat it in both scene directions: character appearance, wardrobe, location, time of day, color palette, lighting, lens, and camera behavior. Change only the action and framing for the continuation. An opening reference image can give the first scene a more precise visual starting point.
Choose the 60-second preset. Seedance 2.5 generates the first 30 seconds, its final frame anchors the continuation, and the backend assembles both native-audio scenes automatically.
Selected output: 16:9 · 720p · 60s. These settings apply to your next generation, not the reference clip.
Allows wider motion interpretation while keeping visual continuity.
Cost: 36000 credits · 30s + 30s
Native video audio included automatically
The first scene finishes before its final frame starts the second; both are then assembled into one finished MP4.
For a Short, put the strongest visual change in the first three seconds and keep text inside the vertical safe area. For an ad, move from problem to proof to offer. For an explainer, use the two scenes as context and problem, then demonstration, result, and next step.
Repeat one continuity block in both scene directions: the same appearance, wardrobe, environment, palette, lighting, and lens language. Change only the continuation action and framing, then regenerate the second scene if it breaks those anchors.
Yes. Select 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and other vertical formats.
The current standardized workflow uses two connected 30-second scenes and delivers them as one finished file.
