Use Image References for Video

Some video models can use images as visual references for the first frame, last frame, subject, or scene direction.

Short answer: Some video models can use images as visual references for the first frame, last frame, subject, or scene direction.

Steps

  1. Choose a video model that supports image references.

  2. Upload clear reference images.

  3. Write a prompt explaining the motion and how the reference should be used.

  4. Choose supported duration and resolution settings.

  5. Start the generation and review the result.

Notes

  • Seedance models support reference workflows in Typeshutter.

  • A reference image controls visual direction; the prompt still needs to describe motion.

Troubleshooting

  • If the model ignores the reference, simplify the prompt and make the reference subject clearer.

  • If upload fails, try PNG or JPEG and reduce file size.
