It does not generate the images themselves or write the story, and each camera move needs its aim and reach set by hand. ## How to use it 1. Use the card's **Shots** area. Your shots, in order. Set how long each holds, its camera move and the cut into the next, and watch the film before you run it. 2. Write what you want in **Prompt**. 3. Pick a model in the pill at the top of the card, or keep **Seedance 2.0**. 4. Press **Run**. ## On the card | Control | What it does | Choices | | - | - | - | | Shots | Your shots, in order.
