Eight ways to set the room.
These are original writing examples, not tested output recipes. Results and reference-photo support depend on the model you use. Our editor supports separate adult portraits; it does not split group photos or animate pets.
One adult photo
One portrait, a full room
Keep one person as the lead; let the other musicians be fictional.
Create a new intimate desk concert with a five-adult soul band in a room lined with records, books and a few green plants. Use the supplied adult portrait only for the lead performer. Invent four clearly different adult bandmates: two backing performers, a keyboard player and a saxophonist. Place the lead behind the centre of a wooden desk, with the other musicians visible around the sides. Begin with a steady medium-wide view, move gently towards the lead, then return to the room for the ending. Use warm window light with soft shadows and consistent colour throughout. Ask for relaxed head movements and small gestures, keeping hands away from the lead’s face. Maintain the same facial features, hairstyle, wardrobe and position across every shot. Request an original instrumental soul groove and subtle room ambience, without recognizable songs or copied voices. Keep the scene free of captions, brand marks and concert logos. This is a fictional AI performance, not documentary footage.
Two separate adult portraits
Two friends, two clear roles
Give the lead and backing performer distinct positions before adding movement.
Generate a new desk-band performance using two separate, permitted adult reference portraits. Reference one is the lead performer at the front centre; reference two is the backing performer on the viewer’s left. Keep these identities and positions separate throughout. Add fictional adult musicians for the remaining backing, keyboard and sax roles. Set the concert in a small book-lined studio with a wooden desk, shaded lamps and a quiet background. Start wide enough to establish both referenced people. Move to a two-person medium shot while the lead gestures subtly and the backing performer nods along, then finish on the full ensemble. Use one stable warm lighting direction and natural skin tones. Keep faces unobstructed; avoid crossed arms, overlapping faces, fast turns or abrupt cuts. Preserve clothing, hairstyles, microphone positions and instrument shapes across shots. Request an original instrumental groove, without copying a recording or cloning a voice. Include no text, recognizable branding or official concert graphics. Treat every person and action as part of a newly generated fictional scene.
Separate portraits for every role
Five portraits, a fixed lineup
Name the reference order and keep left and right relative to the viewer.
Create a newly generated five-adult concert around a small wooden desk. Use five separate, permitted reference portraits in this exact order: reference one is the lead at front centre; reference two is the backing performer on the viewer’s left; reference three is the backing performer on the viewer’s right; reference four is the keyboard player; reference five is the sax player. Never merge, exchange or duplicate their faces. Arrange the cast in two shallow rows so every face is visible and no microphone blocks an eye. Use a spacious rehearsal room with shelves, plants and soft afternoon light. Open with a stable ensemble composition, make one slow move towards the lead, then restore the original wide arrangement. Keep gestures small and let the instrumentalists use restrained, plausible movements. Preserve wardrobe, lighting direction, instruments and positions throughout. Request an original instrumental soul arrangement with gentle room ambience. Do not reproduce a known performance, song or voice. Add no captions, watermarks or real concert logos. Prioritize cast continuity over elaborate camera moves.
Consenting adult colleagues
The office becomes the stage
Keep ordinary office details while removing company names and branded material.
Generate an original, playful desk concert in a bright creative office after the workday. Use the supplied permitted adult portraits for the explicitly assigned performers, with one person per reference and one reference per role. Create fictional adult musicians for any remaining roles. Put the lead behind an ordinary desk with closed notebooks, a plain mug and a small lamp; leave every page and screen blank. Keep the keyboard to one side and the sax player on the other, with backing performers behind the lead. Open on the entire office band, move slowly to the lead’s amused expression, and end with the group settling into the groove. Use soft overhead light balanced with daylight, without changing colour between shots. Ask for small shoulder movements, restrained smiles and plausible instrument handling. Maintain individual faces, clothing and fixed positions. Create an original instrumental funk backing, with no recognizable song or voice imitation. Exclude company logos, readable documents, captions and official concert marks. Keep the result clearly fictional rather than presenting it as a real workplace event.
One adult lead, optional friends
A small birthday encore
Make the occasion visible through the set rather than generated text.
Create a new desk-concert scene celebrating an adult birthday. Use the permitted adult portrait as the lead performer and assign any additional separate portraits to stated backing or instrumental roles. Fill unused roles with fictional adults. Set the five-piece band in a warm living room with bookshelves, one plain paper decoration and a small unlit cake on the far corner of the desk. Keep the cake away from hands and instruments. Begin with the group in a medium-wide composition, move gently towards the lead’s relaxed smile, and return to the whole band for a modest closing gesture. Use soft amber lamps and consistent natural skin tones. Keep expressions friendly and movements simple; avoid fast spins, exaggerated laughter and obscured faces. Preserve the same identities, outfits, decoration and instrument positions throughout. Request a newly composed instrumental soul groove, not a birthday song or existing recording. Do not generate names, ages, captions, logos or watermarks. Leave room to add your own permitted message later in a separate editor.
Separate portraits, including older adults
An adult family session
Preserve age and individual features without automatically splitting a group photo.
Generate a new, relaxed desk performance with an adult family cast. Use one clear, permitted portrait for each assigned person; do not infer separate identities from a group photograph. Preserve each adult’s age, facial features, hairstyle and skin texture without making everyone look younger or alike. Place the lead in front of a wooden desk and arrange backing performers, keyboard and sax around them with comfortable space between faces. Invent fictional adult musicians only for roles without a supplied portrait. Choose a familiar living-room setting with books, plants and gentle daylight. Start with a steady ensemble shot, move into a calm medium view of the lead, then return to the same arrangement. Use small smiles and restrained gestures rather than energetic choreography. Keep lighting, wardrobe, seating and instrument shapes consistent. Request an original instrumental soul arrangement at a relaxed pace; use no copied melody or imitated voice. Add no readable text, family names, branding or official concert imagery. Present the scene as a fictional AI performance.
Warm lamps, slower movement
The after-hours take
Ask for low-key lighting while keeping faces clearly readable.
Create a newly generated intimate desk concert in an after-hours recording room. Use permitted adult reference portraits for the assigned roles and invent distinct fictional adult bandmates for the rest of the five-person ensemble. Keep the lead at the front, with two backing performers behind and keyboard and sax on opposite sides. Use deep green walls, a plain wooden desk and two warm lamps in the background. Light each face softly from the front so eyes and facial features remain visible; the room can be dark without leaving faces in shadow. Begin with a stable group composition, make a slow, modest push towards the lead, and finish with the ensemble in view. Request relaxed posture, small gestures and plausible playing rather than dramatic movement. Keep identity, hairstyle, clothing, lighting and instrument placement consistent across every shot. Generate an original mellow instrumental groove with natural room ambience, without quoting a song or cloning a voice. Avoid smoke, rapid cuts, text, branding and official concert logos. The scene must remain an original fictional performance.
Landscape composition
A wide frame for the whole band
Plan the full ensemble for a wide canvas; set 16:9 in the video tool too.
Create an original desk-band performance composed for a landscape 16:9 frame. Use the permitted adult references only in their assigned roles and create distinct fictional adult musicians for empty roles. Place the lead at centre, two backing performers behind, keyboard on the viewer’s left and sax on the right. Spread the five adults across the frame with clear space between faces, leaving a modest margin above heads and beside instruments. Use a book-lined studio, a long wooden desk and soft warm daylight. Open with the full-width ensemble, move only slightly closer for a medium group view, then end on the starting arrangement. Keep faces visible throughout rather than relying on a tight solo close-up. Maintain the same identities, clothing, hand positions and lighting direction. Ask for restrained, plausible playing and natural expressions. Request an original instrumental soul groove without copying an existing recording or voice. Include no captions, brand marks or real concert logos. Set the actual aspect ratio, duration and resolution separately in the video tool before generating.
Seven elements of a useful concert prompt
Give the model a small, coherent set of instructions. Start with the cast, then make the room and performance support it.
Cast and reference order
State who leads and which reference belongs to each role. “Viewer’s left” is less ambiguous than “left.” Use one consenting adult per photo.
Room and light
Choose one setting and one lighting direction. Keep faces readable even in an after-hours scene.
Composition and camera
Name the frame shape and one simple camera progression. Also select the aspect ratio in the video tool.
Actions and expressions
Request a few small, plausible movements. Fast spins, crowded gestures and several simultaneous actions give the model more to coordinate.
Wardrobe and continuity
Keep clothes, hairstyles, props, instruments and positions consistent between shots. Clothing instructions should stay separate from identity.
Sound
Choose silence or original instrumental audio if the provider supports it. Naming a song does not give permission to copy its recording or melody.
Boundaries
Specify a newly generated scene, permitted adult references and no logos or deceptive real-event claims. Prompt wording does not replace the provider’s safeguards.
Five edits to try before another generation
These are troubleshooting suggestions, not findings from a new model test. Review your input and existing result first; another generation can use another credit.
- The face drifts between shots.
- Start with one sharp, unobstructed adult portrait. Reduce camera movement and large head turns. Try:
Keep the lead’s face visible in a steady medium shot, preserving the same features and hairstyle.
No wording guarantees an exact likeness. - Two people swap roles.
- List reference-to-role assignments once, in a fixed order. Try:
Reference one stays at front centre; reference two stays behind on the viewer’s left. Never exchange their faces or positions.
Avoid adding contradictory role instructions later. - Hands or instruments look wrong.
- Simplify the action and reduce tight hand close-ups. Try:
Use restrained, plausible playing in a medium group view. Keep instruments stable and hands below face level.
This is a request, not a repair of an existing file. - The video has the wrong shape or length.
- Check the actual model settings before changing the prose. Text alone cannot set an unsupported duration or resolution. On this site, choose HD or Full HD and portrait or landscape in the editor; the current specifications are listed here.
- The sound is missing or resembles the wrong track.
- Confirm whether the tool supports audio and whether its sound control is enabled. Request an original instrumental groove, or choose silence and add audio you have permission to use in an editor. Our generator does not include the original “Outstanding” recording.
Inside our generator
Our actual preset, word for word.
This example is generated from the same direction function used by our video requests: Seedance 2.0 Fast, 15 seconds, 720p, portrait 9:16, bookshelf set, original instrumental audio, one supplied lead photo and fictional bandmates. The reference marker @图片1 means the first approved photo.
Create a NEW 15-second vertical 9:16 live desk-concert performance in a cozy studio with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, green plants and a wooden desk. A five-adult soul/funk band: lead singer, two backing singers, keyboard player and sax player. Lead singer takes their adult appearance from @图片1. Keep each uploaded person's identity assigned to their role, never merge or swap faces. Invent fictional adult bandmates for unassigned roles. Start with a group shot, move into the lead singer, and finish with the whole band. Natural body motion and plausible playing, intimate documentary camera, coherent lighting. Relaxed contemporary clothing. Generate an original instrumental soul/funk groove with natural room ambience. No recognizable song, copied melody, celebrity voice or existing recording. No text, brand marks, watermarks or real concert logos. This is a newly generated scene, not edited concert footage.
This is the video direction text. The model, duration, resolution, aspect ratio and approved references are also sent as separate request settings. Choosing different cast, set, clothing, sound or format options changes the direction. The independent prompts above are for copying into your own tool; this editor does not accept a replacement full prompt.
