Hello everyone! I'm excited to present my entry for the @CapCut Seedance 2.5 Video Challenge.
The idea of this video is to create a one-shot action sequence featuring a vampire hunter lurking in the vampire's lair. It was a very fun experiment to create this sequence and a great opportunity to try CapCut's new features.
How I made it:
Wrote the script, broke it down into 30-second sequences, and iterated a few times, modifying styles, timing, or other details. Then I generated the video in CapCut Seedance 2.5 using 15 different keyframes, including references with Director inside Canvas mode.
You can see the final video here:

Thank you!

awesome!!
Breaking a one-shot into 30-second chunks and stitching it back together with 15 keyframes is such a smart workaround. Was keeping the camera movement consistent across all of them the hardest part, or was it something else entirely?
First I wrote the whole sequence and break it down to keyframes, from there I took the keyframes for the sequence and just fed it as a reference to director in the order of the keyframes, also gave it a character sheet to maintain consistency and the camera work was indicated in the prompt. I hope any of this makes sense .

CREATOR STUDIO ACCESS UPDATE
Once you’ve created your Cantina account on mobile, you can log in to Cantina on desktop web and start using Creator Studio right away!
To get started, first create your Character in Cantina. Once your Character is ready, head to Creator Studio to bring them to life and create your pilot episode for the challenge.
We’re continuing to grant Creator Studio access on mobile, but there may be a slight delay before it appears. You don’t need to wait for mobile access to start creating - you can use Creator Studio on web in the meantime. Once your Creator Studio access is granted on mobile, you’ll receive a push notification from the Cantina app and an email confirmation.
As you create your pilot, we recommend submitting your video in English when possible so our judges can fully understand your character, dialogue, story, and overall concept. This is a recommendation, not a requirement for participation.
Need help along the way? Reach out to the Cantina Ambassadors in the challenge feed or message them directly in Cantina.
Happy creating!
As Liam mentioned us ambassadors are always a dm away if you have any questions, no matter how small it might be!

this is really so unexpected thank you so much, Contra x Descript, for appreciating my work! it truly means a lot to me and also, congratulations to all the other winners and to everyone who participated and shared their work with us! it was amazing to see everyone’s creativity and hard work
Cantina is wild!
Loving what I'm getting out of the creator studio with my initial tests. Two questions for the ambassadors or the Cantina developer team:
1. Voice consistency across takes. Inside one continuous scene the voice holds perfectly. But when I start a new one, like a different take in the same scene, it changes drastically. Sounds like a different person. I tried regenerating the voice but it does not work, I have to re prompt a take to get it closer to what I want. Is there a better way to lock a voice so it carries between separate takes?
2. Locking shots. Every time I make a change, everything regenerates. So something I already like breaks while I'm working on something else that I want to regenerate to make it better. Is there a way to lock a shot that's working so it stays as it is?
Thank you, I can’t wait to see what the Contra community creates with it.
Hi! regarding your second question, only the scene that you make adjustments to should change and not the whole video, is that not what you're experiencing?
