Oct AI Video Generation Tips

A common workflow for recreating viral hits: break down the original video, use an image model to produce reference images, then hand them to Seedance to generate the final video.

To create a fixed virtual character: first make a character card, then have Seedance replace the person in the viral video with that character, keeping the actions and camera shots from the original.

Solve character consistency first, then pick a video model: lock the character card, actions, and materials, or add consistency anchors to the storyboard.

When extending long videos, don't rely only on the last frame of the previous segment. Pin the final 22 frames unchanged to the start of the next segment for more natural motion continuity.

Set the characters, camera positions, and trajectories first using a white model or a 3D workbench, then generate the video. This can reduce the cost of repeated re-rolls.

Muse can split a ring of real-world footage into multiple storyboard shots and generate them segment by segment. Image quality is close to Seedance, but there are more restrictions on sensitive topics.

Agent can chain scripts, storyboards, voiceovers, subtitles, and the final cut into a one-sentence workflow. Fixed formats like science explainers and stick-figure videos suit it best.

Wan 3.0's quality is close to Seedance 2.5 but considerably cheaper. When the budget is limited, you can use it first for batch testing.
