How to use this video prompt
This video prompt is best for stylized animation studies and short character motion ideas. Use the original prompt as the creative direction, then adjust model, settings, and reference media inside Meigen before generating.
Seedance 2.0 is the best first choice when you want to extend or reference an existing video.
Recommended Settings
- Use 16:9 when you want to stay close to the original composition.
- Start with 15s for the first generation so motion, pacing, and subject consistency are easier to judge.
- Use 720P for quick drafts, then move to 1080P once the motion direction is working.
