- Motion and camera movement
- Colors, textures and clothing
- Original person and background

01 · Why depth
Why create a depth video first?
A source video contains the motion you want, but it also carries visual details you may not want the new result to inherit.
Using a depth video
Turns the clip into a simpler relative-distance sequence that emphasizes structure over appearance.
- Near-to-far spatial relationships
- Contours and motion over time
- Less emphasis on color and material
A depth video is an auxiliary video reference technique. It reduces but cannot fully remove appearance cues and does not guarantee a 1:1 motion copy.
02 · Workflow
Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 motion-transfer workflow
Use the depth video as the motion and spatial reference, then describe the character and look separately.
Choose a motion or camera reference
Pick a clear clip containing the dance, performance, product movement, camera push, orbit, or composition you want to reuse.
Generate and download the depth video
Convert the clip, preview the relative depth sequence, and download it as a separate video.
Add it to Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 R2V
Use the depth video for motion and space. Add a character or style image, then state in the prompt which motion, camera movement, or composition should be followed.

03 · Use cases
Three practical ways to use the result
Depth reference is most useful when you want to reuse structure while changing the visual identity of the scene.
Dance reskin
Use a TikTok or Reels dance as the movement reference while changing the character, outfit, setting, or overall visual style.
Character motion transfer
Transfer the structure of a performance, fitness move, action sequence, or product demonstration to a new subject.
Camera & composition reuse
Reference pushes, orbits, framing, and front-to-back layering while redesigning the environment and style.

05 · FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers about depth references, Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 workflows, source-video choices, files, privacy, and output limits.
What is a depth video?
It is a grayscale video that represents relative near-to-far relationships frame by frame, emphasizing contours, motion, and spatial change.
How do I use it with Seedance 2.0 & 2.5?
Add the downloaded depth video as an R2V video reference, add a character or style image if needed, and use the prompt to specify the motion, camera movement, or composition to follow.
Why not use the original video directly?
You can, but the original also carries color, texture, clothing, person, and background cues. A depth video reduces the emphasis on those visual details without eliminating them completely.
What source videos work best?
Use short, clear clips with visible subjects, readable movement, useful spatial separation, limited motion blur, and no unnecessary cuts.
Is this tool completely free?
Yes. Conversion and download in this tool are free. Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 and other external services may have their own fees.
Which formats and duration are supported?
Choose an MP4, WebM, or MOV file up to 30 seconds and under 200 MB.
How should I write the Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 prompt?
Try: “Use the depth video only as a reference for motion, camera movement, and spatial structure. Follow the reference image for the character and style. Avoid carrying over the original person’s appearance and background.” This reduces unwanted visual carryover but may not remove it completely.
Is my video uploaded, and which browser should I use?
The video stays on your device. For best compatibility, use an up-to-date desktop Chrome or Edge browser.
