Turn one idea into a cinematic AI video blueprint.

Pick a 5, 10, or 15-second template, fill it with your idea and references, then upload the completed sheet to Seedance / Dreamina Omni Mode. The sheet becomes the production plan, so the prompt can stay short.

Best for creators who want reliable scene planning without building a complex manual control stack.

What is an Omni Reference Sheet?

An Omni Reference Sheet is a single visual planning image that tells the video model what to make. Instead of relying on a long prompt, the sheet shows the subject, environment, timing, motion path, camera move, continuity locks, ending, and hard “do not” rules in one readable layout.

Visual blueprint

The model can see the plan instead of guessing from a paragraph.

Shorter prompt

The Seedance prompt simply tells the model to follow the sheet and references.

Better consistency

Strong anchors, beat timing, and hard NO rules reduce drift and surprises.

The simple workflow

1
Choose your template

Pick the duration and format: 5, 10, or 15 seconds; 16:9 or 9:16.

2
Attach it to ChatGPT or another image model

Attach the blank template, the matching instruction image, and any character, vehicle, location, or style references.

3
Describe your idea

Write a full scene idea or a rough partial idea. The image model turns it into a completed reference sheet.

4
Upload the completed sheet to Seedance

Upload the finished sheet and supporting references to Seedance / Dreamina Omni Mode.

5
Paste the master prompt

Use the general prompt at the bottom of this page. The sheet already contains the duration and plan.

6
Generate and refine

If the result is close, improve the sheet before making the prompt longer.

Choose the right template

Each duration includes a blank template and a matching “How to Use” instruction image.

Use for
  • YouTube
  • cinematic scenes
  • vehicles
  • wide environments
  • landscape action
Seedance Omni Reference Sheet v3 — 5 seconds 16:9 blank template
5 seconds widescreen

One clean action, reveal, transformation, or payoff.

Which duration should you choose?

5 seconds

Use this when the idea is simple: one subject, one movement, one clear ending. Great for quick reveals, punchy actions, and tutorial examples.

10 seconds

The most flexible version. Use it when you need setup, action, climax, and payoff without making the scene too complex.

15 seconds

Use this when the scene needs more build-up. The six-beat storyboard strip matters most here.

What should you give the image model?

To create a completed sheet, attach the blank template and its matching instruction image. Then add any references you want the sheet to use.

character or subject images
vehicle or prop images
location references
lighting or mood references
style references
keyframes or stills from previous generations
The stronger your visual anchors are, the less the video model has to invent.

Paste to your AI chat
Use the attached Omni Reference Sheet template and the matching instruction image as the required layout and workflow. Turn my scene idea and supporting images into one completed Seedance Omni Reference Sheet. Preserve the template structure and replace the placeholders with short, readable, video-useful content. Use the correct duration and aspect ratio shown on the template. Fill the beat plan, final beat lock, subject anchors, environment anchors, motion/blocking map, camera and motion locks, continuity locks, hard NO rules, final one-sentence model command, and storyboard/keyframe strip. Keep only information a video model can actually use. Favor strong visual anchors over extra explanation. Return one clean completed reference sheet image only.

Master Seedance prompt

Use this with any completed v3 reference sheet. You do not need to write the duration in the prompt because the sheet already contains it.

Paste into Seedance / Dreamina Omni Mode
Use the attached Omni Reference Sheet and all supporting reference images as the complete production blueprint. Follow the sheet exactly, preserving the subject, environment, continuity locks, motion path, camera language, final beat lock, and hard NO rules to create one seamless cinematic video.

Short version

Shorter master prompt
Create one seamless cinematic video by faithfully executing the attached Omni Reference Sheet and supporting reference images as the complete production blueprint.

Use the longer version when the scene has important continuity rules or a critical ending. Use the shorter version when the completed sheet is already very clear.

What this method is good at

Turning rough ideas into visual plans
Helping Seedance understand scene structure
Maintaining a subject, environment, and motion direction
Making 5, 10, and 15-second clips easier to plan
Reducing random surprises
Teaching creators how to direct instead of just prompt

Honest expectations

This is a practical creator workflow, not a frame-perfect control rig. It gives Seedance a much better plan than a normal prompt, but the model can still interpret motion, timing, and details creatively. For most creators, that is the sweet spot: enough structure to stay coherent, enough flexibility for the video to come alive.

  • Not frame-perfect
  • Not a guarantee that every tiny label will be followed
  • Best with clear images and simple motion
  • Works better when the sheet is improved before the prompt is expanded
  • Great for idea-to-video exploration, tutorials, social clips, and cinematic tests

Troubleshooting

Stop fighting the prompt. Start directing the scene.

The Omni Reference Sheet v3 system gives creators a simple way to plan AI video visually: choose a template, fill the sheet, upload it to Seedance, and generate.
