seedance-video-creator_skill

Overview

This skill converts creative ideas into professional storyboard prompts and can directly generate videos using the Seedance 2.0 family via a jimeng-compatible API. It supports multimodal references (images, short videos, audio), guided or quick workflows, and automatic download of generated video files. Use it to get concise Seedance-ready prompts or to produce finished short videos with minimal manual steps.

How this skill works

I ask focused questions to capture story, duration, style, camera actions, and reference files, then produce a time-coded storyboard prompt formatted for Seedance 2.0. If the user opts in, I call a jimeng-free-api-all endpoint with the prompt and uploaded files, poll until completion, extract the returned video URL, and optionally download the video to a local path. The tool handles text-only, local file multipart uploads, and URL-based file references.

When to use it

• You want a professional, time-coded storyboard prompt tailored to Seedance 2.0 syntax.
• You have reference images/videos and want them integrated into a short generated video.
• You prefer step-by-step guided creation when you are unsure about visual details.
• You already have a clear prompt and want fast generation with minimal interaction.
• You need automatic download and a ready-to-share MP4 file after generation.

Best practices

• Provide a one-sentence story summary and preferred duration (4/5/10s) up front.
• Upload prioritized references (max 12 files total; images ≤9, videos ≤3, audio ≤3).
• Use @1/@2 placeholders in prompts to map to uploaded files in order.
• Keep prompts under ~500 Chinese characters (or equivalent) to avoid degradation.
• Set curl timeout to 300s when calling the API and download generated URLs promptly.

Example use cases

• Create a 10s cinematic promo from concept to final MP4 using two reference photos.
• Generate a quick 5s vertical social clip from a short text storyboard (text-only).
• Produce a dance scene using a reference video for camera movement replication.
• Build a product teaser with closeups and brand splash using product images.
• Extend or edit an existing video by referencing @video1 and specifying modifications.
