Seedance 2.5 is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER - Master it in 20 minutes

Dan! Dan! Have you heard it yet? Where the hell are you?

Shit, he's spacewalking again. Okay, let me just update his software instead.

You've got 30 seconds to move!

Oh,

sorry.

Okay, I understood. Seadance 2.5 is insane!

Seadance 2.5 is now available to everyone. And in this video, I will teach you everything I know about it.

Over the last week, I've spent over $2,000 together with my team to try and master C-Dance.

So please watch this entire video to the end so you don't end up wasting credits like I did.

If you want to follow along and if you want to try this out yourself, I will leave a link to Hicksfield in the description down below.

They were kind enough to sponsor this video and they now have C-Dance available on their platform alongside with Flux and Halo, which are also two other good models that just came out.

Now, the first big change that C-Dance 2.5 has is that it can do 30 second generations.

And this is huge, but it also becomes a lot more expensive because of it. So you need to use your credits wisely.

And that all comes with prompting responsibility. Now, before you start generating, let me first explain the new prompting methods on how to get the most out of your generation.

So I'm going to show you two different methods. One is the more simple one and the other one is the more advanced one.

Keep in mind, I will share all of the assets, everything that I share, all the prompts, all the assets that I used in this video in a detailed document in the free school community that you can find in the link in description down below.

Now the first format is very simple. I call this the simple prompt format. You let C-Dance fill out the details.

Basically you want to add in a bit of context about your references. So this is the reference window.

Here you're going to say like image one is for example a guy in his mid-20s. He is this, this and this. Image two is your other subject.

Then audio one is a voice reference for your character. You want to match that voice with the dialogue.

Then you want to give some scene context where we are who's

there and is this a long continuous take you can add in some technical

details like the lens the depth of field you can add grain etc

then following up you have the dialogue language for

example i have a slightly dutch accent if i want to include it

i can say like a male dutch accent he is about 25

years old something like that following up we're describing or scene so we're describing exactly what we want to happen at cut one at cut two at

code 3 this is a very simplified timeline

prompting we're not including any like at this

second this happens at that second that happens

you just include what you want to have happen in that

scene no matter the length and you're just going to describe it like you

are a director if you have one long continuous take then you

have no cuts and then you need to describe what's happening you describe the shot plus all of the dialogue and lastly i have this part that is to keep the

following things consistent and that's just like a prompt to

just dial it in so for example if we put this into

action i have this example right here of my asset

is this young japanese woman and i want her to

do a handheld vlog on a date in japan so

it looks as followed or prompting reference is very simple we just have add image one it's the look reference the japanese woman then we have the scene context and i'm going to describe on a date in japan early morning into night.

Then here I'm adding in some technical details and basically here we're going to give our idea.

So we're going to describe like we are the man behind the frame holding the camera. The woman is excited. Like we're adding in all of our different context.

You can pause the screen or you can read my prompts in the school community. Here we're going to add in all of these different details.

Then the more context about the scene is that I want to show the whole date like how the whole day went.

And then lastly I'm adding in just the whole idea of what I want in here.

It's a very simple prompt so we're going to take this prompt we're

going to go over to hicksfield here you want to switch over to cdance 2.5

then you're going to drop in your prompt and then you want to add

in your image as we don't have the image right now then you want to attach

the image right here and you want to make sure that this one is linked

now you can go up to 30 seconds right here and
