AI video workflow

Vidu AI Video Generator Workflow

Use a reference-led planning method to define what should stay stable, what should move, and how the ImageMake clip should finish.

How it works

Work the brief down to one shot.

Three passes from a written idea to a clip you can judge.

A refined skincare packaging shot used for a first-and-last-frame transition example.

Identify stable reference cues

List the subject, composition, and details that should remain consistent.

A championship pairs skating finale clip used as a Seedance 2.1 prompt example.

Add one motion instruction

Specify a single subject action and one camera relationship.

Create the ImageMake clip

Generate a focused version, then inspect stability and motion before iterating.

Prompt patterns

Build from a focused shot brief.

Each case turns a video idea into a focused ImageMake prompt structure, paired with the clip it belongs to.

Script-led visual beatImageMake example

One product enters frame, completes one visible action, and holds in a clean studio setting. Keep the camera stable and the ending usable for a short edit.

Output goal: An original source clip for a separate editing workflow.

Reference-led motion briefImageMake example

Keep the main subject and composition stable. Add one restrained gesture and a slow side camera move. Preserve the environment and finish on a clean frame.

Output goal: A controlled starting point for a reference-led concept.

Every clip is an ImageMake workflow example produced with a model available in this workspace. They illustrate prompt structure, not the output of any other product.

Practical paths

Start with a small, visible result.

A nightclub fashion portrait turned into a subtle first-frame motion shot with preserved identity in Kling v2.1.

Product motion brief
