Scenes: FAQ

Updated by Celina Borquez

1. What is Scenes?

Scenes builds a multi-shot video from a single creative instruction. Instead of generating a finished clip in one shot, it lays out your idea as a sequence of timed scenes you can edit, reviews the keyframes with you, and only then renders the clips and assembles them into one video.

2. How does the workflow run?

It runs in stages:

  1. You write a creative instruction and, optionally, attach reference images.

  2. Scenes turns it into an editable, timed storyboard of shots.

  3. It generates continuity-aware keyframes and pauses so you can review them.

  4. Once you approve, it renders each scene clip and assembles the final video.

You can prepare the panel as an idle draft first, then start the staged run when you are ready.

3. What can I set up front?

  • Aspect ratio: 16:9 or 9:16.

  • Duration: 10s, 15s, 20s, or 30s for the finished video.

  • Video model: Ray 3.2, Seedance 2, or Seedance 2.5 for the scene clips.

  • Resolution: 4K, 1080p, 720p, 540p, 480p, or 360p, with the available options depending on the chosen video model.

  • References: up to 9 images for recurring subjects, locations, products, or style.

4. How do keyframes and review work?

Keyframes are generated to stay consistent across shots, holding subjects and style steady from scene to scene. The run pauses at a keyframe review gate before any clips are rendered, so you can adjust the storyboard and keyframes before committing to the final render.

5. Where do I manage it?

Scenes lives as a panel on the canvas. You can leave it as an editable draft without starting generation, or start the staged run and step in at the review pause.
